Fire safety in Stockport is not just common sense. It’s a strict legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. If you’re responsible for any non-domestic property in Stockport, you must assess fire risks, safeguard those on-site, and act to prevent incidents.
From historic buildings around the Market Place to modern office parks, Stockport properties present varied fire hazards. Faulty wiring, blocked exits, and poor maintenance are all risks that can escalate without warning. A fire risk assessment identifies these threats and provides clear, practical steps to address them, helping protect lives and avoid costly damage.
