Independent, Professional Fire Risk Assessments for Hotels, Guest Houses and Hospitality Accommodation.
At 225 Fire Solutions Ltd, we provide professional, independent fire risk assessments for hotels and hospitality premises throughout Exeter, Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol and the wider South West.
From small independent hotels and boutique guest houses to large multi-storey hotels, our experienced fire risk assessors deliver detailed, practical assessments tailored to the individual building, its operation and the people who may be at risk.
Hotels present particular fire safety challenges due to sleeping occupants, unfamiliar escape routes, varying occupancy levels, commercial kitchens and the need for effective emergency arrangements throughout the day and night.
Our assessments consider these challenges, helping hotel owners, operators and management teams understand their fire safety responsibilities, identify significant risks and implement proportionate measures to protect guests, staff and visitors.
Professional Fire Risk Assessments for Hotels and Hospitality Premises.
Every hotel is different. The appropriate fire safety arrangements depend on the building's construction, layout, age, number of bedrooms, occupancy levels and facilities.

Country house hotels and heritage properties
-
Bed and breakfasts and guest houses

Is a Fire Risk Assessment a Legal Requirement for Hotels?
Yes. Hotels and other commercial sleeping accommodation are generally subject to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
The legislation places duties on the Responsible Person, which may include the hotel owner, employer, operator or another person exercising control over the premises.
These duties include ensuring that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is undertaken, appropriate fire precautions are implemented and the assessment is regularly reviewed.
Hotel fire risk assessments should take particular account of guests who are unfamiliar with the building, occupants who may be asleep when a fire occurs and individuals who may require assistance during evacuation.
A suitable assessment should consider the relevant provisions of fire safety legislation and recognised guidance, including:
-
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as amended
-
Fire Safety Act 2021, where applicable
-
Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, where applicable
-
Government Fire Safety Risk Assessment Guidance – Sleeping Accommodation
-
BS 9792:2025 – Fire Risk Assessment Code of Practice for Housing, where relevant to residential elements
-
BS 5839-1 – Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for Buildings
-
BS 5266-1 – Emergency Lighting
-
Relevant fire safety design guidance, including BS 9999 where appropriate
Our role is to provide an independent assessment of your existing fire safety arrangements, identify areas requiring improvement and recommend proportionate actions based on the particular risks presented.
