Do small B&Bs and guest houses need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. Any premises providing sleeping accommodation to paying guests — even a small B&B with a few rooms — must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment under the RRO 2005. Sleeping members of the public are a recognised higher risk.

How long does a hotel assessment take?

It depends on the number of bedrooms and floors. A small guest house may take a couple of hours; a larger hotel with multiple floors and function rooms takes longer. Your assessor confirms the estimate when booking.

How much does a hotel fire risk assessment cost?

Hotels and guest houses are priced on the Enhanced tiers by room count: from £849 (up to 30 rooms), £949 (31–60), £1,199 (61–100) and £1,499 for large or multi-building hotels. The quote form gives your exact price.

Hotels & B&Bs Fire Risk Assessment

Built for Hotels & B&Bs

Sleeping-risk premises • Guest evacuation • Every bedroom checked

Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses accommodate members of the public overnight, many of whom are unfamiliar with the building's layout. This makes clear escape routes, reliable detection, and a robust evacuation plan essential. HawkSwift's assessors examine every bedroom, corridor and escape route to produce a report that protects your guests, your licence and your business. This page is tailored specifically to hotels & b&bs premises.
