North Pembrokeshire is a different proposition from the coast: a small, prosperous market town at Newport with a lot of high-end self-catering, and behind it a farming landscape running up into the Preselis.
Covering Newport, Dinas Cross, Nevern, Moylegrove, Crymych, Eglwyswrw, Boncath and the Preseli villages. We are around 45 minutes away and there is no travel charge anywhere in Pembrokeshire.
Newport itself has period stone property in commercial and letting use, much of it high-value holiday accommodation with wood burners and LPG. Inland the picture is agricultural: farms are employers and are in scope like anyone else, and farm diversification into camping, glamping and barn conversions brings sleeping risk onto sites that were never assessed for it. Distance from an appliance is a real factor across the whole area and belongs in the assessment rather than being ignored.
Since 1 October 2023 every responsible person in Wales must record the assessment in full, whatever the headcount. The old five‑employee exemption is gone.
A recorded fire risk assessment. Barn conversions usually have generous volumes and awkward escape geometry, often with a mezzanine bedroom, so detection layout is the thing that gets most attention.
If you employ anyone, yes, for the workplace parts of it. The farmhouse itself is a private dwelling and outside the Fire Safety Order, but workshops, stores and any accommodation you let are not.
Yes, and there is no travel charge inside Pembrokeshire. If you can group a few properties or neighbours together it makes an easier day for everyone.
