Fire risk assessments in Bournemouth

Bournemouth's building stock is exactly the kind the Fire Safety Order was written for: shared housing, sleeping accommodation and public premises, side by side.

The Bournemouth premises we assess most

The town has one of the densest concentrations of HMOs on the south coast — student and professional shared houses across Winton, Charminster, Boscombe and Springbourne — each needing a current fire risk assessment to satisfy licensing and the law.

Add the hotels and guest houses along the cliffs and near the seafront (sleeping members of the public — the highest duty of all), the care homes across the borough, and the retail, hospitality and offices in the town centre and at Castlepoint, and you have a lot of buildings where the responsible person carries a legal duty.

Local, and accountable

We're based in the conurbation and work across Bournemouth every day, so a site visit is usually a matter of days, not weeks. The assessor who walks your building is the one who signs the report — and the one who answers the phone when you have a question about it later.

Who it applies to

If you own, manage or operate a non-domestic building in Bournemouth — or let an HMO — you are almost certainly the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and the duty to have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment sits with you.

We also cover neighbouring Poole, Christchurch and the wider Dorset area. Book a Bournemouth assessment and we'll confirm a visit.
