Online home safety check
Get tailored advice for your home, or the home of someone you care for. Our online home safety check lets you carry out a thorough check of your home in only a few minutes. It’s simple and practical – giving you specific advice for your family and your home.
You can use the tool to:
- identify fire risks in your home
- learn how you can reduce the risks
- create your own home fire safety plan.
How the tool works
- You’ll be asked questions about your home and lifestyle.
- The tool will ask you to look in different rooms and will highlight potential fire risks.
- The tool may recommend that you book a home safety visit where one of our technicians comes out to your home.
- After you’ve answered the questions, the tool will give you a personalised action plan to download and print.
- The check will take around 15 minutes.
If you are still concerned about fire safety in your home after completing your online check, please contact our home fire safety team - call 0800 05 02 999 or email firekills@dsfire.gov.uk (mailto:firekills@dsfire.gov.uk).
