Serving properties across Cornwall including:

Cornwall’s unique geography and economy create a distinct set of fire safety challenges. The county is renowned for its dramatic coastline, surfing beaches, and the iconic South West Coast Path, which attracts millions of visitors each year. Holiday lets, self-catering cottages, and coastal flats are abundant, particularly in towns like St Ives, Newquay, and Padstow. These properties often have high seasonal occupancy, guests unfamiliar with the building, and, in some cases, limited fire service access. Specialist assessment of means of escape, fire detection, and guest information is essential.

The county’s mining heritage is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with many former mine buildings now converted into museums, visitor centres, or residential properties. These structures, often constructed of stone with limited fire-resisting compartmentation, require careful fire safety planning to protect both people and heritage. The Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site covers many locations, and any fire safety works in these areas may need heritage consent.

Cornwall also has a significant fishing and maritime industry, with ports at Newlyn, Falmouth, and Looe. Warehouses, fish processing units, and marine engineering workshops present fire risks from machinery, flammable materials, and storage. The presence of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for heating and cooking in rural properties is also common, requiring safe storage and regular inspection.
