Fire Risk Assessments in Inverness-shire
Fire Safety, Assured.
Centred on the Highland capital of Inverness, Inverness-shire relies heavily on tourism — hospitality is strongly over-represented here, at over 12% of businesses against around 6.5% nationally — drawn by Loch Ness, the Highlands, whisky and outdoor destinations like Aviemore and Fort William. Among its roughly 11,000 businesses and 114,800 homes, and often at considerable distance from a fire station, the duty-holder for any premises that isn’t a private home must, under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, hold a fire risk assessment kept under review.
Master Fire Safety provides certified fire risk assessments across Inverness-shire, tailored to each building rather than produced from a template. Whether you run a hotel or holiday business, a distillery or visitor attraction, or let residential property, we identify the real risks, set out proportionate actions and give you a clear, compliant report.

Fire Safety for the Highlands’ Tourism & Hospitality
Tourism drives the Inverness-shire economy, and hospitality is strongly over-represented — nearly twice the national average. Hotels, inns, holiday lodges, hostels, distillery visitor centres and attractions across the Highlands bring commercial kitchens, sleeping accommodation, seasonal staff and guests unfamiliar with escape routes, often in remote or historic buildings far from a fire station. We tailor each assessment to the premises, covering kitchen suppression, alarm coverage, means of escape and the practicalities of protecting guests in remote locations.

Landlord, HMO & Holiday-Let Assessments in Inverness-shire
Across Inverness-shire’s roughly 114,800 homes, landlords, factors and short-let operators have clear fire safety duties — including the common areas of flats and HMOs under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, Scotland’s short-term let licensing regime, and the requirement for interlinked fire and heat alarms in every home. 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.

Distilleries, Rural Business & Community
Inverness-shire’s distilleries, rural and estate enterprises, and the community venues of its towns all require careful fire safety. Distilleries bring flammable spirit and process risks; rural premises, remoteness and combustible storage; community venues, varied events and accessible escape. We assess each on its own terms, factoring in the Highlands’ long fire-service response times, to keep workers, residents and visitors safe.

Beyond fire risk assessments, Master Fire Safety provides fire strategy and fire engineering for Inverness-shire’s new and changing buildings. New and refurbished Highland tourism accommodation, distillery and visitor-centre development, and residential schemes often bring non-standard layouts on remote sites where fire service access, water supply and long response times all 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 the Building (Scotland) Regulations and the relevant technical handbooks. Our chartered fire engineers work with owners, architects and developers across Inverness-shire to design fire safety in from the outset, avoiding costly late changes and supporting building warrant approval.
