Fire risk assessments in Weymouth

Weymouth's risk profile is seasonal. Premises that sleep a handful of people in February can be full of unfamiliar guests in August, and the assessment has to be written for the busy case.

The Weymouth premises we assess most

• Guest houses, B&Bs and small hotels — sleeping accommodation with the highest duty under the Fire Safety Order, and the one most often assessed to an out-of-date standard.
• Seasonal hospitality — bars, cafés and amusements where occupancy, staffing and staff turnover all spike together.
• HMOs and converted seafront property — large older houses split into flats, where escape routes depend on original staircases.
• Retail and storage — including premises on Portland with their own access constraints.

What the assessment covers

Every assessment looks at the same fundamentals — escape routes, detection and warning, fire doors and compartmentation, emergency lighting, fire-fighting equipment, ignition sources and how fire safety is actually managed day to day. What changes between premises is the weight each one carries.

What you receive

A written report suitable for your insurer, licensing officer or a fire officer, and a prioritised action plan setting out what to fix, in what order, and what can reasonably wait. Findings are explained plainly, with the reasoning behind each, so you can make an informed decision rather than work from a list.
