Electrical, fire & safety compliance for hotels & guest houses
When guests sleep on your premises, fire safety is not optional. EFS keeps your hotel or guest house tested and certified throughout - fire alarms, emergency lighting, electrics and appliances - so guests are safe, your insurance holds, and you are ready for any inspection.
The compliance picture
What a hotel or guest house has to stay on top of
Overnight accommodation carries the highest fire-safety expectations of any small-business premises, because people are asleep and unfamiliar with the building. Alarms, emergency lighting and fire doors have to work, and the electrics behind every room and appliance need to be tested and certified.
- Fire alarms, detectors and emergency lighting must be reliable throughout
- Every room and communal appliance needs PAT testing
- Fixed-wire (EICR) testing is expected across the whole building
- Fire risk assessments and insurers demand maintained, evidenced safety
