Airbnb hosts & holiday let owners
Professional safety inspections for Airbnb hosts and short term let owners across South Wales. Fire Risk Assessments, PAT testing, Legionella risk assessments and alarm checks — all in one visit, all referenced to current Welsh legislation, delivered within 48 hours.
Wales is moving towards a licensing scheme for short term and holiday lets. When it arrives, fire safety compliance is expected to be a core requirement — just as it already is for HMOs and standard rentals. Getting compliant now means you're ahead of the curve, not scrambling to catch up when a licence is required to operate.
Why it matters
Unlike a long-term tenant who learns the layout over time, every Airbnb guest arrives unfamiliar with your home. A professional safety assessment protects them — and protects you.
Your guests don't know where the exits are, whether the smoke alarm works, or what to do in an emergency. A VCT Fire Risk Assessment covers escape routes, alarms, fire doors, fire blankets and general hazards — referenced to LACORS guidance and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Many home insurance and short-term let policies require evidence of fire safety compliance. Without a documented assessment, a claim could be rejected. A VCT certificate gives your insurer exactly the evidence they need.
When your property sits empty between bookings, water systems can stagnate — creating conditions where Legionella bacteria can multiply. A Legionella risk assessment identifies any risks and gives you a documented control scheme lodged on the national LRA Register.
Guests use your kettle, toaster and TV. If a faulty appliance causes a fire or injury, you are liable. PAT testing gives you a dated, documented record that every appliance was checked and safe at the time of inspection.
