Fire Risk Assessments in Cornwall
Compliance Made Easy.
Cornwall is home to around 570,300 people, roughly 251,000 homes and about 25,500 registered businesses, spread across a large, largely rural county where premises can sit a long way from the nearest fire station. Its economy is unusually tourism-led: accommodation and food businesses make up around one in ten of all premises here — over 50% above the national average — underpinned by a visitor economy worth £2.1bn a year and some 53,000 jobs. Hotels, restaurants, cafes, holiday lets and caravan parks therefore feature heavily, and each, along with offices, shops, rented homes and community buildings, carries a legal duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to hold a current fire risk assessment.
Master Fire Safety provides certified fire risk assessments the length of Cornwall, from Truro and St Austell to the coast, tailored to the building in front of us rather than produced from a template. Whether you run a seasonal holiday business, let residential property, or manage a care or community setting, we identify the real risks, set out proportionate and affordable actions, and give you a clear, compliant report.

Fire Safety for Cornwall's Hospitality & Holiday Sector
Tourism is the backbone of Cornwall's economy, supporting around 53,000 jobs and £2.1bn of annual visitor spend, and accommodation & food businesses make up roughly one in ten of all premises in the county — about one and a half times the national average. Hotels, guest houses, restaurants, cafes and holiday lets each carry specific risks: commercial kitchens and extraction, sleeping accommodation, seasonal staff, and guests unfamiliar with escape routes. Cornwall also has the second-highest proportion of households in caravans and park homes of any authority in England and Wales, so holiday and residential parks are a significant local consideration. We tailor each assessment to the premises — covering kitchen suppression, means of escape, alarm coverage and the practicalities of protecting overnight guests.

Landlord & HMO Fire Risk Assessments Across Cornwall
Of Cornwall's roughly 251,000 homes, the private rented sector now houses nearly one in five — with more than 10,000 additional private rented homes added in the last decade. That growth, together with the conversion of older and period properties into flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), places clear fire safety duties on landlords and managing agents. We assess detection and alarms, fire doors, emergency lighting and safe means of escape throughout rented and multi-occupied buildings, giving landlords a defensible record that meets their obligations and protects tenants — whether you let a single cottage or manage a portfolio across the county.

Protecting Cornwall's Care, Community & New Buildings
Cornwall has an older population than most of England — a median age of 47, with over-65s a rising share of residents — so care homes, sheltered housing and community venues, where people may be less able to evacuate quickly, are an important local priority. For these premises our assessors focus on phased evacuation, robust compartmentation and staff training. And as Cornwall keeps building new homes and holiday accommodation and converting rural and listed buildings, we provide fire strategy and fire engineering input from the design stage — so fire safety is built in, not retro-fitted.

Beyond fire risk assessments, Master Fire Safety provides fire strategy and fire engineering services for Cornwall's new and changing buildings. The county's tourism-led development pipeline — new hotels and holiday accommodation, barn and building conversions, and residential schemes — often involves non-standard layouts, listed structures, and rural sites where fire service access and water supply need early thought.
A fire strategy sets out how a building stays safe from the design stage: escape routes, compartmentation, control of fire spread, and compliance with Approved Document B and the Building Safety Act 2022. Our chartered fire engineers work with owners, architects and developers across Cornwall to design fire safety in from the outset — avoiding costly late changes and supporting building control sign-off.
