Who checks Lambeth businesses

Fire safety

The London Fire Brigade enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 across Lambeth. A business with five or more employees must have its fire risk assessment in writing. Smaller businesses still need one. They just do not have to write it down.

Health and safety

Lambeth Council's environmental health team enforces health and safety in most high street premises. That means shops and offices, pubs and restaurants, hotels and gyms. HSE covers factories and building sites instead.

Licensing

Lambeth's Statement of Licensing Policy 2024 to 2029 keeps one cumulative impact zone. It is centred on Clapham High Street. New licences and longer hours there are expected to be refused if someone objects, unless the applicant shows they will not add to the problem.

Brixton and Vauxhall have busy night time economies too. The fire brigade and environmental health both see licence applications. A current fire risk assessment and up to date certificates make that conversation easier.

The businesses we work with in Lambeth

We focus on the high street. Bars, restaurants and venues in Brixton and Clapham. Shops and cafés on Streatham High Road and Norwood Road.

Brixton's markets and railway arches hold dozens of small food businesses. A kitchen puts gas, fire and electrics close together in a small space. That makes the fire risk assessment and the extinguishers matter more.

We also work with chains and multi site operators. They want one supplier and one standard across every shop. We arrange each visit through a local specialist and keep every certificate in one account.

When businesses usually call us

  • Taking on a new lease or opening a new unit.
  • Applying for a premises licence or changing your hours.
  • Your insurer asking for certificates at renewal.
  • A refit or a change to the layout.
  • A visit or letter from the fire brigade or environmental health.

Common questions

Before you book.

My landlord has a fire risk assessment. Does that cover my unit?
It covers the parts your landlord controls such as shared corridors and the building fabric. You run the business inside the unit, so you must assess the risks to your own staff and customers. The two assessments should fit together.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes. Early mornings and evenings can be arranged so trade carries on. Out of hours work costs more and we tell you the price before anything is booked.
Do I have to switch from my current supplier?
No. Most businesses already use someone and that is fine. Plenty of clients use us for the parts their current supplier does not cover.
Which parts of Lambeth do you cover?
All of it. That includes Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell. Streatham and West Norwood too. Vauxhall and Waterloo as well.
