Common questions
Who can do a fire risk assessment in Pickering?
Two firms listed on Fire Safety Finder say they carry out fire risk assessments covering Pickering. Two firms state BAFE registration and two state third-party certification. Since 1 October 2023, the responsible person must record the whole fire risk assessment and who carried it out, under Building Safety Act 2022 section 156. There is no legal requirement to use a certified assessor, but third-party certification is widely recommended.
Large HMOs with five or more people from two or more households require a mandatory licence from North Yorkshire Council everywhere in England. Selective licensing in the North Yorkshire Council area currently covers only all privately rented homes in Scarborough South and Scarborough Town; it does not apply to Pickering. Further details on HMO licensing and selective licensing are available from North Yorkshire Council.
Who enforces fire safety for businesses in Pickering?

The service has a dedicated business safety section and a contact form for enquiries. Since May 2024 it has been overseen by the York and North Yorkshire Mayor. North Yorkshire Council handles housing standards and licensing matters for rented homes and HMOs.
How often should a fire alarm in Pickering be serviced?
