Means of escape for guest house

Featured Replies

I have a three storey guest house which has 7 guest rooms which has a fire escape and each floor is a fire compartment, but all the neighbouring guest houses do not have fire escapes just internal compartments just curious as to how that would work for them in the event of a fire it just doesn’t seem safe, could you please help me understand the legality of this ? 

It all depends on the fire risk assessment theirs with yours, as required by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 you would need to compare them, the guidance for B&B premises is Sleeping accommodation. Also check out Do You Have Paying Guests  .
