Common questions
Who can do a fire risk assessment in Melksham?
Any competent person may carry out a fire risk assessment, but using a firm with recognised third-party certification gives the responsible person greater confidence in the outcome. Of the 20 firms listed for Melksham, 11 say they carry out fire risk assessments. Seven say they hold third-party certification, 5 say they are BAFE registered and 2 say they are NSI certificated. Since 1 October 2023 the responsible person must record the full assessment and who carried it out.
Mandatory HMO licensing applies across England: any property occupied by 5 or more people from 2 or more households requires a licence from the council. Applications go to Wiltshire Council. We found no additional or selective licensing scheme on the council's website, but this is unconfirmed and landlords should check directly with Wiltshire Council, as the position may have changed.
Who enforces fire safety for businesses in Melksham?
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is the enforcing authority for fire safety in business premises and the common parts of residential buildings in Melksham. It publishes business fire safety guidance on its website and can be contacted through its enquiry page. For rented homes and HMOs, enforcement responsibilities fall to Wiltshire Council.
How often should a fire alarm in Melksham 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 regardless of location, so the same rules cover premises in Melksham as elsewhere in England.
