Compliance is not optional for property managers and building owners. The regulatory obligations that govern the safe occupation of commercial and residential buildings have expanded significantly in recent years — particularly following the Building Safety Act 2022 and updates to fire safety legislation. Failure to meet these obligations exposes you to enforcement action, insurance voidance, civil liability, and, in the most serious cases, criminal prosecution.
Fuimus provides compliance management services that take the administrative burden off building managers while ensuring every statutory obligation is met, documented, and available for inspection. We work with residential landlords, managing agents, commercial property managers, and facilities teams across London to maintain compliance records, commission statutory assessments, and provide the audit trail that insurers, local authorities, and regulators require.
Fire safety compliance for occupied buildings encompasses fire risk assessments, fire alarm system servicing, emergency lighting testing, suppression system maintenance, passive fire protection inspections, and fire door surveys. Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons for multi-occupied residential buildings must carry out annual inspections of flat entrance fire doors and quarterly checks of communal fire doors — obligations that apply to both purpose-built and converted blocks.
Our compliance team manages your fire safety obligations as a structured programme: scheduling assessments and tests at the required frequencies, ensuring works arising from assessments are completed and re-inspected, and maintaining a compliance register that provides a complete audit trail. Fire risk assessments are carried out by competent assessors qualified to the IFE or IFSM standard, and all certificates are stored digitally and available to you on demand.
Legionella bacteria thrive in water systems where temperatures, flow rates, or nutrient conditions allow proliferation. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Approved Code of Practice L8 (Legionnaires' Disease: The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems), every building owner and employer has a duty to assess and control the risk of exposure to Legionella in their water systems.
Fuimus conducts Legionella risk assessments for cold and hot water systems in commercial and residential buildings, producing a documented assessment report with a prioritised action plan. Where water hygiene monitoring and control measures are required — temperature monitoring, showerhead descaling, flushing regimes for infrequently used outlets, or chemical treatment programmes — we can manage these on a scheduled basis, providing written records that satisfy the ACOP L8 requirement to maintain a water safety log.
For residential landlords and Build-to-Rent operators, accurate tenancy inventories are the foundation of a defensible deposit adjudication process. A well-executed check-in inventory, supported by detailed photographic evidence, protects landlords from unfounded claims of damage while providing tenants with a fair baseline against which their departure condition will be assessed.
Our inventory service covers check-in inventories, mid-tenancy inspections, and check-out reports for individual units and entire residential portfolios. Reports are produced in a standard format accepted by all major deposit protection schemes — TDS, DPS, and MyDeposits — and can be provided in digital form for integration with your property management system. We offer rapid turnaround, with most inventories completed and delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.
Managing compliance across a portfolio of buildings is operationally complex. Certificates expire at different dates, legislation changes, and the volume of documentation required for a single building — let alone a portfolio — can quickly overwhelm a managing agent's capacity to track and verify. Fuimus provides a compliance management service that consolidates your obligations into a single, managed programme: we track expiry dates, commission renewals, manage the contractors carrying out statutory works, and provide you with a portfolio-level compliance dashboard that shows at a glance what is current, what is due, and what requires attention.
