HMO Fire Risk Assessment carries out certified fire risk assessments for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and business owners across Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Blackpool and Preston. We assess HMOs, residential blocks and commercial premises against the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and hand you a clear, actionable report you can use to close out any gaps and stay compliant.

Who We Are

HMO Fire Risk Assessment is a specialist fire risk assessment company working with landlords, letting agents, managing agents and business owners across Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Blackpool and Preston. We focus on HMOs, but we also carry out assessments for residential blocks and commercial premises, so whatever type of property you manage, we can help you stay compliant.

Our assessors are members of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM), and every assessment we carry out is measured against the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

What We Assess

We carry out Type 1, 2, 3 and 4 fire risk assessments, covering everything from a straightforward non-destructive review of common areas through to full destructive inspections of concealed spaces. Every assessment looks at escape routes, fire doors, alarm systems, emergency lighting, compartmentation and management arrangements, and checks them against what the Fire Safety Order actually requires for your property type.

Our Process

We start with a full walkthrough of the property, then provide a clear written report that sets out what we found, what needs attention, and what can wait. Every report comes with a prioritised action plan, so you know exactly what to fix first and why.

We cover HMOs, residential blocks and commercial premises across Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Blackpool and Preston, with fast turnaround so you are not left waiting to close out compliance gaps.
