About Fire Risk Assessments in Greenwich
The Royal Borough of Greenwich blends world-famous heritage sites with one of London's most significant regeneration zones on the Greenwich Peninsula. From the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site to the high-rise developments at North Greenwich and the suburban streets of Eltham and Plumstead, the borough presents a wide range of fire safety challenges. Fire risk assessments must cover everything from historic naval buildings to brand-new residential skyscrapers.
As a London borough, Greenwich falls under the jurisdiction of the London Fire Brigade. Our assessors understand the local property landscape and fire authority expectations, ensuring your assessment meets all current requirements.
Property Types We Assess in Greenwich
The Greenwich Peninsula is home to the Upper Riverside and Lower Riverside developments, delivering thousands of apartments in high-rise towers alongside the O2 Arena. Woolwich is undergoing major regeneration with the Royal Arsenal development creating a new residential quarter. Eltham and Plumstead have more traditional suburban housing stock, including post-war estates and inter-war semis. Greenwich town centre contains listed buildings and heritage properties with unique fire safety constraints.

Local Fire Safety Context
The Peninsula's cluster of tall residential buildings creates one of south-east London's densest concentrations of high-rise living, with each building requiring fire risk assessment addressing evacuation strategies, external wall systems, and fire-engineered solutions. The Royal Arsenal's conversion of historic military buildings into residential use presents challenges of balancing fire safety with heritage conservation. Woolwich town centre's older commercial parades have typical mixed-use fire safety concerns with flats above shops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the high-rise towers on Greenwich Peninsula need enhanced fire risk assessments?
Yes. Residential towers over 18 metres fall under the Building Safety Act's higher-risk regime, requiring more detailed fire risk assessments, an Accountable Person, and registration with the Building Safety Regulator.
How do heritage constraints at the Royal Arsenal affect fire risk assessments?
Listed military buildings converted to residential use must comply with the Fire Safety Order, but heritage constraints may limit the installation of standard fire safety measures. Assessments must identify solutions that achieve safety objectives without unacceptable harm to the historic fabric.
Are properties near the O2 Arena subject to additional fire safety requirements?
Residential buildings near the O2 are assessed under standard fire safety legislation. The O2 itself, as a major public venue, has its own comprehensive fire safety management and assessment regime.
What fire safety challenges affect Woolwich town centre's mixed-use buildings?
Woolwich's older commercial parades commonly have poor compartmentation between ground-floor retail and upper-floor residential units, limited secondary escape routes, and ageing fire detection systems.
