Fire Risk Assessments in Caerphilly

Fire risk assessments in Caerphilly

Caerphilly county borough spans a wide geography, from the historic castle town itself through the valleys communities of Blackwood, Bargoed, Risca, Ystrad Mynach and Rhymney. The area's building stock reflects its industrial heritage: terraced housing — much of it converted to flats and HMOs — alongside town-centre commercial premises, community buildings, and modern business parks.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every non-domestic premises in the borough — and every property let to paying guests or operated as an HMO above licensing thresholds — requires a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. We provide assessments that are proportionate to the premises, clearly written, and focused on the risks that genuinely matter.

Converted and licensed properties

Valleys terraced housing converted into flats or HMOs raises recurring fire safety questions: the integrity of escape routes through shared stairways, separation between units, detection grade and coverage, and the condition of fire doors. We assess these properties with reference to BS 9792:2025 and the relevant licensing standards, producing reports that support both licensing applications and ongoing compliance.
