Fire Risk Assessments in Dorset
Compliance Made Easy.
Dorset’s coast drives its economy, from the resorts of Bournemouth and Poole to the Jurassic Coast and Weymouth — and hospitality is over-represented here against the national average, among the county’s roughly 33,500 businesses. With around 343,100 homes, an older-than-average population, and market towns such as Dorchester inland, Dorset has a distinctive mix of premises. Each, apart from a single private home, 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 across Dorset, tailored to each building rather than produced from a template. Whether you run a seafront hotel, a care setting, or let residential property, we identify the real risks, set out proportionate actions and give you a clear, compliant report.

Fire Safety for Dorset’s Coast & Hospitality
From the resorts of Bournemouth and Poole to the Jurassic Coast, hospitality is over-represented across Dorset compared with the country as a whole. Seafront hotels, guest houses, restaurants and holiday accommodation bring risks from commercial kitchens and sleeping accommodation to high seasonal occupancy and guests unfamiliar with escape routes. We tailor each assessment to the premises, covering kitchen suppression, alarm coverage, means of escape and the practicalities of keeping guests safe.

Landlord & HMO Fire Risk Assessments in Dorset
Around 21% of Dorset’s roughly 343,100 homes are privately rented, a substantial market particularly in the Bournemouth and Poole conurbation. Landlords and managing agents have clear duties in rented flats, houses and HMOs. We assess detection and alarms, fire doors, emergency lighting and safe means of escape throughout rented and multi-occupied buildings — protecting tenants and giving landlords a defensible, compliant record.

Care, Retirement & Community Premises in Dorset
Dorset has an older-than-average population, so care homes, retirement housing and sheltered accommodation — where residents may be less able to evacuate quickly — are an important local priority, alongside the county’s community halls and venues. Our assessors focus on phased evacuation, robust compartmentation and staff training for care settings, and on occupancy and accessible escape for community buildings, tailoring every assessment to the people who use the space.

Beyond fire risk assessments, Master Fire Safety provides fire strategy and fire engineering for Dorset’s new and changing buildings. New hotels and holiday accommodation along the coast, retirement and care development for an older population, and residential schemes around Bournemouth and Poole often bring layouts where fire safety is best engineered in from the start.
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 Dorset to design fire safety in from the outset, avoiding costly late changes and supporting building control sign-off.
