Fire risk assessment in Snowdonia.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly works across Snowdonia and the surrounding national park area as part of our wider North Wales coverage.
Snowdonia's fire safety environment is unique — a national park with a large and growing tourism and hospitality sector, a significant residential population in historic stone-built villages, and a commercial and agricultural base adapted to the specific demands of an upland environment. The tourism sector includes hotels, bunkhouses, youth hostels, camping barns, activity centres, and holiday lets in a wide range of building types — from converted Victorian hotels and farmhouses to purpose-built modern facilities — each with specific fire safety obligations under the FSO.
The stone-built construction that characterises much of Snowdonia's older building stock is generally more fire-resistant than timber-framed buildings, but it also presents specific challenges — irregular floor plans, low ceilings, narrow staircases, and the absence of the modern compartmentation that would be designed in from the start in a new building. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service enforces the FSO across the national park area. Gwynedd Council is the local licensing authority.
Our assessors cover Snowdonia regularly and understand the specific fire safety requirements of tourism and hospitality premises in the national park context.

Everything the FSO requires. Nothing generic.
01 — Hazard identification
Sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen
Every ignition source and fuel load in your building identified and assessed — specific to your premises, not a category checklist.
02 — People at risk
All occupants, including those needing assistance
Staff, residents, visitors, contractors — and specifically those who may need assistance to evacuate. PEEP provisions assessed where required.
03 — Existing precautions
Detection, escape routes, doors, lighting, equipment
Every element of fire safety provision evaluated against the standard appropriate for your building type and occupancy — specific findings, specific locations.
04 — Management arrangements
Training, maintenance, evacuation plan
Your fire safety management reviewed — training records, maintenance schedules, evacuation procedure, fire safety policy — not just the physical building.
05 — Written report
Specific findings, prioritised action plan
A building-specific written report with every finding named, located, and prioritised. Usable by the responsible person, their contractors, their insurer, and the fire authority.
06 — Review date
When to review and what triggers early review
Clear guidance on the review schedule and the specific circumstances — refurbishment, change of use, near-miss — that require an earlier review.
Every premises type has its own obligations and risks.
