YOUR LOCAL FIRE SAFETY SPECIALISTS
Fire Risk Assessment Services in Bournemouth
Bournemouth has one of the most varied mixes of buildings on the south coast. Victorian villas divided into flats, student accommodation, seafront hotels and busy town-centre shops and restaurants all sit within a few streets of each other. Each brings different fire risks, and each needs a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Quantis Fire Services is based locally, so we know the town and its buildings. We assess the property in person, talk to whoever manages it day to day, and write a report that explains what we found in plain English. Every finding comes with a clear priority, so you know what to fix first and what can be planned in over time.
Whether you are a landlord with a single HMO in Charminster, a managing agent looking after several blocks in Westbourne, or a business owner on Old Christchurch Road, we can usually visit at a time that suits you.

WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES
Fire safety rules for Bournemouth landlords and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building, or the common parts of a block of flats or HMO, the law requires a fire risk assessment. Since October 2023, every responsible person must record the full assessment in writing, along with the name of the person who carried it out. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add further duties for residential blocks, including fire safety information for residents and regular fire door checks.
What your assessment covers
✓ Fire hazards and people at risk
✓ Means of escape and fire doors
✓ Alarms, detection and emergency lighting
✓ Compartmentation and fire stopping (visual)
✓ Management, training and records
✓ A prioritised action plan
In Bournemouth, fire safety in most non-domestic and shared residential buildings is enforced by Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, while BCP Council deals with HMO licensing and housing standards. A current, well-written fire risk assessment is often one of the first documents either will ask to see.
We keep up to date with the guidance so you do not have to. Our reports reference the relevant standards and give you a realistic plan to stay compliant.
CASE STUDIES
Recent work in Bournemouth
A look at some of the Bournemouth properties we have assessed, what we found and how we helped the owners put things right.
PURPOSE-BUILT FLATS · BOURNEMOUTH
Parkview: 14 flats over five floors
Parkview is a purpose-built block of 14 flats over five floors, with lift access and a basement housing residents’ storage and underground parking. Our assessment covered the communal stairs and corridors, flat entrance and communal fire doors, the lift and basement areas, fire detection and emergency lighting, and the fire safety information given to residents. The client received a clear written report with a prioritised action plan.
LARGE HMO · GLEN FERN ROAD, BOURNEMOUTH
18-bed HMO in a former hostel
A former hostel on Glen Fern Road, converted into an 18-bed HMO set over four floors plus a basement. With a mix of older and newer fire safety installations, we looked closely at how the alarm system, detection, emergency lighting and fire doors work together, how well the shared escape routes are protected from every floor, and the management arrangements needed for a building of this size. The report set out clear, prioritised actions to bring everything up to a consistent standard.
FAQS
Bournemouth fire risk assessment FAQs
Can’t see your question? Call us on 01202 119088 and speak to an assessor directly.
How much does a fire risk assessment cost in Bournemouth?
It depends on the size, use and layout of the building. A small shop or a single HMO costs less than a large block of flats or a hotel. Tell us a little about the property and we will send a fixed, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras.
How often should I review my fire risk assessment?
The law says it must be kept under regular review. Most landlords and businesses review it every year, and sooner if the building, its use or the people in it change, for example after a refurbishment.
Do HMOs in Bournemouth need a fire risk assessment?
Yes. The shared parts of an HMO fall under the Fire Safety Order, and BCP Council will usually expect to see a current assessment as part of a licence application or inspection. We assess in line with LACORS guidance.
How quickly will I get my report?
We offer a fast turnaround on every report. Once we have visited, you will receive a clear written report and action plan, and we are happy to talk you through any of the findings.
Can you assess hotels and guest houses?
Yes. We assess hotels, guest houses and serviced accommodation across Bournemouth, from small guest houses in Boscombe to larger seafront hotels. We pay close attention to sleeping risk, night-time staffing and evacuation procedures.
