Fire safety coverage across New Malden
Enquiries from New Malden reach specialist firms that carry out assessments on the High Street parades, in offices and at shared houses near the station. One route handles the booking for the whole town.
- Timber-framed shopfitting
- Many homes in New Malden sit above shops on the High Street. These terraced parades were built with timber-framed shopfitting long before modern compartmentation standards existed, so fire spreads faster between floors.
- Mixed-use parades
- Shops with flats above them share stairwells and corridors, so a single fire event affects both the business and the residents living overhead.

Common questions
What owners and landlords in New Malden ask
These are the points that come up most often when arranging an assessment for a building in the town.
- Flats above shops Yes. Flats above shops on New Malden High Street need their own assessment because residents sleep there and rely on the shared stairwell to escape.
- Different owners Where the shop and the flats have different owners, the freeholder or managing agent usually arranges the assessment for the common parts. Each leaseholder remains responsible for their own space.
- Shared houses near the station A shared house near the station typically falls under HMO regulations. The specialist applies the same standards used for an HMO fire assessment in Kingston borough, checking alarms, doors and escape routes.
- Small office above a restaurant Yes. High street office fire safety follows the same process. The specialist assesses the office itself and how a fire starting in the restaurant below could affect the escape route.
- Visit timing and access The specialist schedules the visit once the enquiry is received. They need access to every room, the roof space if reachable, plant rooms and any shared corridors or staircases.
- The written report The fire assessor in New Malden produces a document listing hazards, who is at risk and what action to take. It remains valid until the building changes use, is altered or the recommended review date passes.
On the same visit
Checking doors and kitchen extract systems
The specialist can inspect fire doors during the same appointment as the assessment. They test closers, measure gaps and check seals without requiring a second visit.
For a shop with flats above, fire rules require the specialist to consider risks from the commercial unit. Kitchen extract ducting from a restaurant below is examined because grease buildup inside the shaft can carry fire upward.
