Remote Fire Risk Assessment Consultancy for Holiday Lets
If you are writing your own fire risk assessment or need a professional eye to look over your existing documents, my remote fire risk assessment consultancy provides the expert guidance you need.
Designed for standard holiday properties in England, self-catering cottages and Airbnbs (such as houses or apartments with up to 5 bedrooms), this service provides tailored, remote compliance support so you can confidently meet current fire safety guidelines without needing an on-site visit.
Remote Fire Safety Advice for Holiday Let Owners
Understanding fire safety law doesn't have to be overwhelming. My remote fire risk assessment consultancy service is specifically tailored for holiday let owners who fall into one of two categories:
You already have an FRA: you have a fire risk assessment, but you want to update it to ensure it is suitable, sufficient, and fully aligned with the latest legal guidance.
You are writing a new FRA: you intend to complete your own assessment from scratch, but you want professional guidance on what to include, alongside a structured template, to ensure your final document is legally robust.
This service gives you direct access to professional holiday let fire risk advice, ensuring your property is safe, compliant, and ready for guests.

How It Works
I have streamlined the remote fire risk assessment support process into three simple steps.
Initial Chat & Document Upload
We start with a quick phone conversation to see what stage you are at. Following this, I'll send a summary email requesting any FRA you already have, along with relevant compliance documents (such as your gas safety certificate).
Video Consultation
We arrange a video call with you at the property. You show me the layout and the fire safety provisions you currently have in place. I ask questions and make detailed notes as you walk me through the different features of your holiday let.
Written Summary & Ongoing Support
Based on our call and your documents, I email you a comprehensive summary containing everything you need to record on your FRA, plus any physical actions to take. If needed, I'll supply a suitable FRA template. From there, you have ongoing support for any technical questions as you finalise your document.
Important Legal Exclusions
Please note that this service provides professional advice and guidance to assist you. It does not mean I am putting my name to your FRA.
Under the Fire Safety Order, you (the owner or operator) remain the "Responsible Person". You are legally responsible for the final content of the FRA and for implementing any safety measures.
The guidance I provide is based solely on what you tell me verbally, the notes taken during our video call, and the supporting documents you supply.
Need an On-Site Fire Risk Assessment Instead?
While remote support is an excellent, cost-effective way to gain professional oversight, it isn't suitable for every property. If you own a larger, highly complex holiday let, or if you simply prefer a completely hands-off approach where a professional handles the entire inspection from start to finish, a physical site visit is required.
My in-person service involves a comprehensive walk-through of your property where I evaluate the hazards and write the complete report on your behalf. I provide these on-site assessments across the North West, including Lancashire, Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales.
