Common questions
Who can do a fire risk assessment in Bath?
Fire Safety Finder lists 6 firms that say they offer fire risk assessments covering Bath. There is no legal requirement to use a certified assessor, but 9 firms on the directory say they hold third-party certification. Since 1 October 2023, under the Building Safety Act 2022, the responsible person must record the whole fire risk assessment and who carried it out.
Large HMOs with 5 or more people from 2 or more households require a mandatory licence from Bath and North East Somerset Council, as they do everywhere in England. The council previously ran an additional licensing scheme covering smaller HMOs, but that scheme ended on 31 December 2023, so only mandatory licensing applies at present. You can check licence types on the council website.
Avon Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety law in business premises and the common parts of multi-occupied residential buildings in Bath. The service offers a business fire safety enquiry form for businesses with questions, but does not carry out fire risk assessments. Bath and North East Somerset Council handles fire safety requirements in privately rented homes and licensed HMOs.
How often should a fire alarm in Bath be serviced?
For BS 5839-1 systems the interval between inspection and servicing visits should not exceed six months. For HMOs, Grade A systems should be serviced six-monthly under contract, while Grade D systems should be serviced annually. These intervals apply to Bath as they do elsewhere in England. Your service provider or fire risk assessor can advise on which category applies to your premises.
