Fire risk assessment in Conwy.
Heritage buildings. Specialist assessors.

Conwy is one of the best-preserved medieval walled towns in Europe, and that distinction brings a fire safety context unlike almost anywhere else in North Wales. Buildings within and immediately adjacent to the town walls are frequently listed, subject to planning and conservation restrictions that limit the physical interventions available for fire safety improvement, and characterised by the thick stone construction, restricted means of escape, and irregular floor plans of medieval and early modern building. A fire risk assessment for a listed building or a heritage premises in Conwy is a materially more demanding exercise than for a standard commercial property — and it requires an assessor who understands how to work within conservation constraints while still meeting the legal standard of a suitable and sufficient assessment.

Outside the walls, Conwy has a mixed character — tourist-facing hospitality and retail around the castle and quayside, residential streets on the approaches to the town, and a significant volume of holiday accommodation serving visitors to one of North Wales's most popular destinations. North Wales Fire & Rescue Service covers Conwy and enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 with specific awareness of the town's heritage building stock and the additional complexities it presents.

We have experience assessing heritage and listed buildings across the North West and North Wales — including churches, converted industrial buildings, and historic commercial premises — and we approach Conwy's building stock with the same rigour and contextual understanding. We cover Conwy, Llandudno Junction, Glan Conwy, and the surrounding area from Chester, approximately 50 miles to the east.
