Fire risk assessments in Chichester

We carry out fire risk assessments in Chichester and across the district, from the four main streets inside the city walls to the Pallants, Summersdale and out to the harbour villages.

Chichester's buildings and what they mean for fire safety

Georgian and listed buildings in the city centre

Chichester's conservation area is full of Georgian and older listed buildings now used as shops, offices and flats. We recommend fire safety measures that protect people while respecting the building's character.

Shops on North, South, East and West Street

The city's main shopping streets have many older buildings with storage and flats above. We assess how a fire in the shop could affect everyone else in the building.

Student houses and HMOs

The University of Chichester creates demand for shared student housing. The shared parts of HMOs need a fire risk assessment, and larger HMOs need a licence.

Holiday lets around the harbour and coast

Cottages and flats let to visitors in Bosham, the Witterings, Selsey and the South Downs villages need a written fire risk assessment.
