Fire risk assessments in Somerset often include complex sites such as Glastonbury Festival (the world’s largest greenfield music festival) and Cheddar Gorge (a major tourist attraction with caves and steep terrain), where fire safety must carefully balance large crowds, temporary infrastructure, and natural conservation.

The county’s rural villages and thatched properties are common, especially in the Quantock Hills and Exmoor. These often have limited fire service access and require careful planning of escape routes and water supplies. Thatched roofs present particular fire risks, and prevention measures are critical.

Somerset is also one of the UK’s most important agricultural counties, with dairy farming, cider production, and grain stores. Farm buildings, barns, and processing units present significant fire loads, often in remote locations. Safe storage of flammable materials, access for fire-fighting, and compartmentation are essential.

If your property includes sleeping accommodation, you may require a hotel fire risk assessment or a more detailed block of flats assessment.

For care environments or higher-risk occupants, a more specialist care home fire risk assessment may be required to ensure compliance with additional safety standards.
