Serving properties across Bristol and the former Avon area including:

The former Avon area is one of the most diverse regions in the South West, encompassing the vibrant city of Bristol, the historic World Heritage city of Bath, coastal resorts like Weston-super-Mare, and industrial hubs like Avonmouth and Filton. Each presents unique fire safety challenges.

Bristol – Student HMOs & Harbourside Development — Bristol has one of the highest student populations in the UK, with HMOs concentrated in Clifton, Redland, Cotham, and Fishponds. Fire risk assessments must address fire doors, interlinked alarms, and means of escape. The harbourside area features modern high-rise apartments and mixed-use developments, requiring assessments that consider evacuation strategies, sprinklers, and compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022. For HMOs, a specialist HMO fire risk assessment is essential.

Bath – World Heritage & Tourism — Bath attracts millions of tourists annually. Hotels, B&Bs, and historic buildings like the Roman Baths and Royal Crescent require fire risk assessments that respect heritage while ensuring guest safety. Many properties are listed and have traditional construction, demanding careful planning for fire detection and suppression. For hotels and guest accommodation, a detailed hotel fire risk assessment is required.

North Somerset – Coastal & Rural — Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, and Portishead have coastal holiday lets, caravan parks, and residential areas. Seasonal occupancy and remote locations can impact fire safety planning. Holiday cottages and B&Bs need up-to-date assessments for guest safety.

South Gloucestershire – Aerospace & Logistics — Filton, Patchway, and Avonmouth are home to Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and major distribution centres. High-risk industrial premises require assessments covering fire suppression, hazardous materials, and business continuity. Warehouses and factories may also need a warehouse fire risk assessment.

Creative Industries & Events — Bristol has a thriving creative sector with studios, music venues, and event spaces. Large gatherings and complex layouts require robust fire safety strategies and regular reviews.

If your property includes vulnerable occupants, a specialist care home fire risk assessment may be required.
