What We Do

Three things, done properly.

We're not a generic software portal and not a property manager. We're the qualified people who carry out the physical fire safety work — backed by a tamper-evident record that holds up when it matters.

🔍

Expert Assessment

A qualified assessor surveys your property and produces the fire risk assessment every holiday let now legally requires — PAS 79 standard, photographed, dated, and displayable.

📱

Ongoing App Checks

The app guides your weekly or monthly check, step by step. Each entry is photo-backed, server-timestamped, and locked the moment you submit — it cannot be changed after the fact.

📜

Proof When It Counts

A QR-linked certificate proves your property was compliant at any date — not just at the last annual review. Exactly what an insurer, agent, or council needs to see.

The App

Simple to use. Impossible to fake.

The BIG Fire Safety app walks you through each check, captures photo evidence, and locks the record the moment you submit. You can't go back and change it — and that's the point. It's the kind of record that stands up in a claim.

📋
Property dashboard

All your properties at a glance

See every property's compliance status, upcoming checks, and any flagged items — at a glance, from one screen.

📸
Photo evidence

Photograph every check item

Each check item prompts you to photograph it. The image is attached to the record instantly — no separate upload, no forgetting.

🔒
Tamper-evident

Locked on save — forever

Every submission is server-timestamped in UTC and immediately frozen. It cannot be edited, deleted, or back-dated. The record is yours to prove, not recreate.

📜
Compliance certificate

QR-linked proof, instantly

Generate a dated compliance certificate with a scannable QR code linking to your full live record. Your insurer or agent can verify it in seconds.

🔔
Automatic reminders

Never miss a check

The app knows your check cadence — weekly for holiday lets, monthly for standard lets — and reminds you at the right time. No spreadsheet required.

How It Works

Simple from day one.

We handle the setup and the expertise. You follow the app. We handle the paperwork.

01

We visit your property

A qualified assessor carries out an on-site fire risk assessment — the legal baseline for every holiday let.

02

We set up your app

Your property is loaded into the app with the right check cadence, items, and reminders configured for your property type.

03

You log each check

Open the app, photograph each item, tap pass or flag. Takes under 10 minutes. Every entry locks immediately.

04

You're covered, provably

Your compliance certificate is always live and shareable. Show it to your insurer, agent, or council at any time.

For Insurers & Brokers

We're building this with you.

BIG Fire Safety is a young company, and that's deliberate. We're building a managed compliance service specifically around the fire risk that Cotswolds holiday-let insurers carry — and we'd rather shape it with the people who hold that risk than guess.

If you underwrite or broker Cotswolds property, we'd value a short conversation: what would make a compliance record and partner portal genuinely useful to your team? Your input shapes what we build.

Done Properly

The right checks, at the right rhythm.

Fire safety isn't one-size-fits-all. We set your check frequency to match what your property type actually requires — not more, not less.

Standard Let

House or Flat

Monthly checks
Working alarms at the start of every tenancy, with regular testing thereafter. We set a comfortable monthly rhythm and handle the annual FRA review.
Higher Duty

Holiday Let & HMO

Weekly checks
These fall under the Fire Safety Order, where weekly testing to BS 5839 is the recognised standard — exactly what an inspector or insurer needs to see.
Always Included

Expert Intervals

Annual & 6-monthly
An annual FRA review, six-monthly fire door checks for HMOs, and extinguisher servicing — the deeper work only a competent person should sign off.
"
We don't sell you insurance. We make the properties you already insure safer — and the risk easier to prove.

Standards & Cover

Credentials that carry weight.

Everything we hold is what an agent, council or insurer looks for before trusting a record. Items marked as in progress are being finalised as we launch.
