The routine work of a block

For residential blocks below the higher-risk threshold.

  1. The fire risk assessment, kept in date

    Run the fire risk assessment from a template and score each finding by likelihood and consequence. Once it is completed, the audit is read-only.

    • Fire, water and health and safety templates
    • Findings scored and turned into actions
    • A schedule for the next one, on the calendar
  2. A QR tag on every fire door and extinguisher

    Each fire door, extinguisher and alarm panel gets its own record and a QR tag, with an inspection interval. Overdue inspections show up and the due dates go on the calendar.

    • Assets and inspections, £15 a month on Pro, included in Business
    • An inspection interval on every asset
    • An inspection history on every asset
  3. A thread for each building

    Directors and the managing agent talk in one thread on the building, live, instead of a long email chain.

    • Threads on the building
    • Updates appear as they are posted
    • A record of what was agreed
  4. Repair requests from residents and staff

    A leak in flat 12 is reported, acknowledged, worked on and closed, with the status visible at every step.

    • Requests triaged into work
    • Open, acknowledged, in progress and completed
    • Tasks with owners and due dates

What a block carries

Most leaseholder blocks are run by a managing agent or a right to manage company with a few directors. The routine work is a fire risk assessment kept under review, fire door checks, the water, electrical and lift checks, repairs and keeping residents told. It fits on Pro with 15 people.

In a residential block over 11 m tall, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 ask for communal fire doors to be checked every three months and flat entrance doors every year, as far as you can. Every block with two or more flats must give residents fire safety instructions.

If your block is at least 18 m tall or has at least 7 storeys, and has at least two homes, it is a higher-risk building. Add the safety case, £149 a month, for the regulator's requirements. See managing agents and responsible persons.

Questions.

We are a right to manage company. Does that fit?
Yes. Pro holds 15 people, enough for the directors, the managing agent and the assessor. Each has their own login and a role that fits their job.
Can SAMRISK track the building insurance?
Not yet. Insurance and warranties is coming soon. Until then, keep the policy in Documents and put the renewal date on the calendar.
We use a different fire risk assessor each year. Do they need a login?
Add them as a person on Pro. They fill in the audit and you review it when they are done. No extra tool needed.
What if our block is 18 m or more, or has 7 storeys or more?
It is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022. See the higher-risk building use case. You would add the safety case, £149 a month, to your plan.
