Fire Risk Assessments in Cumbria
Compliance Made Easy.
Cumbria is defined by the Lake District, and its economy reflects it: hospitality and holiday accommodation are markedly over-represented, at close to 10% of the county’s roughly 22,000 businesses against around 6.5% nationally. Alongside some 229,000 homes, the shipbuilding and engineering industry around Barrow-in-Furness, and market towns such as Kendal and Penrith, the county has a distinctive mix of premises — and each, apart from a single private home, must hold a current fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Master Fire Safety provides certified fire risk assessments the length of Cumbria, tailored to each building rather than produced from a template. Whether you run a hotel or holiday let, an industrial site, or let residential property, we identify the real risks, set out proportionate actions and give you a clear, compliant report.

Fire Safety for Cumbria's Hospitality & Holiday Sector
The Lake District makes hospitality central to Cumbria's economy, with accommodation and food businesses close to 10% of all premises — around half as high again as the national average. Hotels, inns, guest houses, restaurants and holiday lets each carry specific risks: commercial kitchens and extraction, sleeping accommodation, and guests unfamiliar with escape routes. We tailor each assessment to the premises, covering kitchen suppression, means of escape, alarm coverage and the practicalities of protecting overnight guests.

Landlord, HMO & Holiday-Let Assessments in Cumbria
Around 15% of Cumbria’s roughly 229,000 homes are privately rented, alongside a large stock of holiday lets and second homes, particularly across the Lakes and its market towns. Landlords, managing agents and holiday-let operators all carry fire safety duties. We assess detection and alarms, fire doors, emergency lighting and safe means of escape throughout rented, shared and short-let properties — protecting occupants and giving owners a defensible, compliant record.

Industry, Care & Community Across Cumbria
Beyond tourism, Cumbria has major industry around Barrow-in-Furness — shipbuilding and engineering — alongside care homes, village halls and community buildings serving a dispersed rural population where fire service response times can be longer. We assess industrial process and hazardous-materials risks, and for care and community settings we focus on phased evacuation, robust protection and staff training, tailoring every assessment to the building and the people who rely on it.

Beyond fire risk assessments, Master Fire Safety provides fire strategy and fire engineering for Cumbria's new and changing buildings. New and refurbished holiday accommodation, the conversion of rural, stone and listed buildings, and industrial development around Barrow all bring non-standard layouts and 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 Cumbria to design fire safety in from the outset, avoiding costly late changes and supporting building control sign-off.
