Common questions
Who can do a fire risk assessment in Shepton Mallet?
Ten firms listed on Fire Safety Finder say they carry out fire risk assessments for premises in the Shepton Mallet area, covering a range of building types including offices, shops, schools, HMOs and industrial units. Five of those firms say they hold third-party certification. There is no legal requirement to use a certified assessor, but third-party certification is one way to check competence. 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 housing five or more people from two or more households requires a licence from the local council. In Shepton Mallet that means Somerset Council. We found no additional or selective licensing scheme on the council's website; landlords should check with the council directly to confirm whether any further licensing requirements apply to their property.
Who enforces fire safety for businesses in Shepton Mallet?
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety law for businesses and the common parts of residential buildings in Shepton Mallet. The service offers a fire safety helpdesk for business enquiries but states it cannot recommend individual risk assessors. You can find guidance on fire safety law for businesses and submit an enquiry through the links on the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service website.
How often should a fire alarm in Shepton Mallet be serviced?
For BS 5839-1 systems, the interval between inspection and servicing visits should not exceed six months. In HMOs, Grade A systems should be serviced six-monthly under a contract, while Grade D systems should be serviced annually. These intervals apply to premises in Shepton Mallet as they do elsewhere in England. Your alarm installer or servicing firm can confirm which category your system falls into.
