Common questions
Who can do a fire risk assessment in Wells?
Fire Safety Finder lists 12 firms covering Wells that state they carry out fire risk assessments. Seven of the 19 firms listed say they hold third-party certification, with five stating BAFE and two stating NSI. The law does not require a specific qualification, but the responsible person must ensure the assessor is competent. Since 1 October 2023, the responsible person must record the whole fire risk assessment and who carried it out, under the Building Safety Act 2022 s.156.
Large HMOs with five or more people from two or more households require a mandatory licence from the council everywhere in England, so this applies in Wells. Applications are handled by Somerset Council. Regarding any additional or selective licensing scheme beyond mandatory licensing, we found no such scheme on the council's website; landlords should check directly with Somerset Council to confirm the current position.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety law for businesses and the common parts of buildings in Wells. It runs a fire safety helpdesk for businesses and can provide general guidance, but it cannot recommend risk assessors. You can find information on fire safety law for businesses and submit an enquiry through their website. Somerset Council handles standards for rented homes and HMO licensing separately.
How often should a fire alarm in Wells 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 they apply to premises in Wells as elsewhere. Your service provider or fire risk assessor can advise on which category applies to your specific system and premises type.
