Common questions
Who can do a fire risk assessment in Whitby?
There is no legal requirement to use a certified assessor, but the responsible person must ensure whoever they appoint is competent. Seven firms listed on Fire Safety Finder say they carry out fire risk assessments covering premises in the Whitby area. Since 1 October 2023, under the Building Safety Act 2022 s.156, the responsible person must record the whole fire risk assessment and who carried it out.
Large HMOs with five or more people from two or more households require a mandatory licence from North Yorkshire Council everywhere in England, including Whitby. Selective licensing, which covers all privately rented homes regardless of size, applies only in Scarborough South and Scarborough Town; it does not currently apply in Whitby. Check the council's landlord pages for current requirements.
Who enforces fire safety for businesses in Whitby?
North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service is the enforcing authority for fire safety in most workplaces and the common parts of residential buildings in Whitby. The service has been overseen since May 2024 by the York and North Yorkshire Mayor. Businesses can contact the service through its website or ask a question via its online enquiry form.
