Hi
I am just about to carry out a fire risk assessment on my holiday let. I have found this document which is useful: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... guests.pdf.
I am thinking that I will install linked smoke (on each floor, in each bedroom??) and carbon monoxide (where relevant) detectors and make sure that there is an up to date fire extinguisher in the kitchen.
Does this sound sensible and is it roughly what others have? It is a 3 bedroomed property, including one bedroom in the attic.
Many thanks

You will also need some sort of emergency lighting. There are various threads about SafeT lights and similar.
The one thing that springs to mind about having an attic room, is whether the staircase is fully enclosed with a fire door, as I believe this is a necessity for third floor rooms in a holiday let, but you would need to check regulations.
