Fire Safety

This page gives you more information about what we can all do to remain safe.

We all need to play our part in keeping you safe in your home, through safety checks we carry out, for example, and you can contact us if you have concerns about something.

But there’s things you can do as well, like checking your smoke alarms, keeping your communal area clear from clutter, and by calling us should you ever be worried about something in your home.

The Building Safety Act 2022 requires residents to be advised of who the responsible person is in respect of the relevant fire safety information for their homes. You will find this information below.

Fire safety information – responsible person

Jenny Spoor Havebury Housing’s Director of Operations, Havebury House, Western Way, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 3SP, is the overall responsible person.

Alan Boddey Fire safety surveyor, who is responsible for conducting fire risk assessments and conducting any appropriate building safety actions and is your point of contact.

Claire Tooke Fire risk assessor, who is responsible for assessing our homes and identifying and recording fire safety risks.

Other important information

We work closely in conjunction with Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service.
We regularly undertake Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs) and where instructed conduct any remedial actions.
Our FRA’s are conducted by qualified and competent members of Safety and Surveying team and sometimes external contractors.
A copy of the FRA is available upon request. We will advise if there are any outstanding actions, any identified fire safety risks, and the protective measures in place. We will also advise when we are undertaking any building, or fire safety improvement works.
