New Fire Safety Regulations 2023

2023 Fire Safety Regulations for Holiday Lets

Did you know that in March 2023 The Home Office published ‘A guide to making your small paying guest accommodation safe from fire’. 

The guide is intended for use in small premises that have simple layouts, limited fire risks and a small number of bedrooms designated as guest sleeping accommodation for short-term lets, such as small bed and breakfast, guest houses and self-catering accommodation.

The guidance is limited to:

- Single premises of ground floor, or ground and first floor, providing sleeping accommodation for a maximum of 10 persons, with no more than four bedrooms on the first floor, such as houses, cottages, and chalets.

- Individual flats (whether within a purpose-built block of flats or a house that has been converted into flats), other than unusually large flats.

We are happy to help:

The regulations came into effect in October 2023 and from this date we have been hitting the books and training up staff to ensure our guests our safe!

We have competent staff that are happy to perform a fire risk assessment for your property (please enquire for prices) and answer any questions you may have about the regulations.
