Lymington is our home. Abbey Fire Safety is based here, so businesses in Lymington and across the New Forest get a local team, usually within a few days of booking. Every job starts with a free site survey.
Fire safety across Lymington and the New Forest comes with its own mix of premises and risks, from the marinas on the Lymington River to thatched and listed buildings deep in the Forest. Here is what stands out locally. For holiday parks and campsites we also supply and fit weatherproof extinguisher boxes.
Marinas and boatyards on the Lymington River, such as Berthon Lymington Marina, Lymington Yacht Haven and the Town Quay, where boats and boatyard premises need extinguishers and fixed marine fire suppression kept serviced.
If you charge guests to stay, the government guide that took effect on 1 October 2023 says you need a written fire risk assessment, even for one night.
The New Forest National Park has over 600 listed buildings and thatch is common in the west of the Forest; the fire service advises a smoke alarm in the roof space of thatched properties.
Trade and industrial units at Ampress Park and Gordleton Industrial Estate, where workshop and storage premises need their fire equipment and alarms kept serviced.
Care homes and other premises where people need help to get out, where evacuation plans and maintained detection matter most.
Lymington and the New Forest are covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its inspectors check business premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
For most premises they can visit without notice, ask to see your fire risk assessment and records, and talk to staff.
Problems can lead to a letter listing what to fix, then an enforcement or prohibition notice, and notices go on a public register.
We make sure your paperwork is ready before they ask.
