I've been in this situation before. First time it was required the second time it was'nt. I think only the building owners fire insurers can answer your question.

Or a Fire Risk Assessment carried out by a competent person which will need to be done anyway, Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan.
