Airbnb fire risk assessment

Hosting on Airbnb? You need one of these.

Every UK short-term let needs a written fire risk assessment under the RRO 2005, Airbnb included. FRASafe makes yours compliant, registration-ready, and complete with a guest fire-action notice.

Skip the £150–£400 assessor bill. Same standard, guest-ready, £45.

nights

In Greater London the 90-night rule limits short lets, but fire-safety duties under the RRO 2005 apply from the very first paid night, everywhere in the UK.

Everything an Airbnb fire risk assessment should cover

Guests don't know where the exits are, where the extinguisher lives, or what to do at 3am. Your assessment makes sure the property answers those questions for them.

Kitchen, log-burner & appliance fire hazards
Escape routes for guests unfamiliar with the layout
Smoke & carbon-monoxide alarm coverage
Fire action notices in every bedroom
Smart-lock & key-safe emergency exit instructions
Management, record-keeping & assessor declarations

Common questions

Does Airbnb require a fire risk assessment?
Airbnb's hosting standards require all hosts to meet applicable laws and safety requirements, including fire safety. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) requires a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for any premises where members of the public may be present, and that includes your Airbnb listing. A documented FRA demonstrates compliance and protects you as a host.
What fire safety equipment does Airbnb require?
Airbnb requires at minimum: a working smoke alarm on every floor of the listing, a CO alarm if the listing has gas appliances, and a fire extinguisher. FRASafe's questionnaire covers all of these plus escape routes, fire action notices in bedrooms, and guest safety information.
Do I need a fire risk assessment if I only occasionally host on Airbnb?
Yes. The RRO 2005 applies regardless of how frequently you host. Even occasional letting to paying guests triggers the requirement for a fire risk assessment.
What is the England STL Registration Scheme and does it affect Airbnb hosts?
The England Short-Term Let Registration Scheme is expected to launch later in 2026 (the original April 2026 target has slipped and no firm date is confirmed). When it starts, short-term rental hosts in England, including Airbnb hosts, will need to register their properties with their local authority and demonstrate fire safety compliance. A written FRA is already required now under the RRO 2005, so FRASafe produces the documentation you need today.
Will Airbnb accept a FRASafe report?
FRASafe produces a written fire risk assessment document compliant with the RRO 2005. Airbnb does not specify a required format. Any documented, professionally structured fire risk assessment satisfies their safety requirements.
How much does it cost?
You pay a one-off £45 for your finished, signed PDF report.
