Hammersmith and Fulham sits at the heart of west London, blending affluent riverside living in Fulham with busy commercial centres around Hammersmith Broadway and the White City regeneration zone. The borough is one of the smallest in London yet contains a remarkable density of housing types. Landlords and freeholders must navigate fire safety requirements across everything from mansion blocks to repurposed office buildings.
As a London borough, Hammersmith and Fulham 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 Hammersmith and Fulham
Fulham is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted into flats with varying standards of fire separation. The Hammersmith area contains substantial post-war social housing estates, including several high-rise towers where fire risk management is under continuous scrutiny following national building safety reforms. White City and Earl's Court are undergoing transformative regeneration, delivering large volumes of new apartments and mixed-use space.

Local Fire Safety Context
The borough has a significant stock of mansion block-style buildings, particularly around Barons Court and West Kensington, where communal fire strategies and ageing building fabric need careful assessment. The White City Living development and Westfield-adjacent schemes are creating tall residential buildings with complex fire-engineered solutions that require specialist assessment. The density of restaurants and hospitality venues along King Street and Fulham Road introduces fire risks from commercial cooking operations in close proximity to residential accommodation above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do mansion blocks around Barons Court need fire risk assessments?
Yes. Mansion blocks with communal areas fall within the scope of the Fire Safety Order. The responsible person—usually the freeholder or managing agent—must maintain a fire risk assessment covering common parts, fire doors, alarm systems, and escape routes.
What fire safety considerations apply to White City's new high-rise developments?
New high-rise residential buildings must have fire risk assessments addressing evacuation strategies, fire-engineered systems such as smoke ventilation, sprinklers where fitted, and the performance of external wall systems in line with current Building Safety Act requirements.
Are restaurants on King Street responsible for fire risk in flats above?
The restaurant operator must assess fire risks within their premises, including risks to people in neighbouring properties. Where there are flats above, the assessment must consider compartmentation, extraction systems, and how a fire in the commercial unit could affect residential occupants.
How has the Building Safety Act affected Hammersmith and Fulham's housing stock?
The Act has introduced more stringent duties for higher-risk residential buildings, including those over 18 metres. Several towers in the borough now fall under the new regime, requiring registered Building Safety Managers and more detailed fire risk assessments.
