Whether you own a rental property, manage a commercial site, or operate a business in Manchester, fire safety is not optional. Our fully qualified assessors provide fast, reliable assessments to help ensure your building meets all legal obligations.
Fire safety is not just a box to tick. It’s a critical legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. If you own or manage any non-domestic premises in Manchester, you have a duty to safeguard lives and prevent fire-related incidents.
Manchester’s property landscape is diverse, from historic warehouses to modern office blocks. But regardless of the building type, potential fire hazards exist. Faulty wiring, blocked escape routes, and poor equipment maintenance are all real risks. A professional fire risk assessment highlights these hazards and offers practical steps to mitigate them, protecting your staff, tenants, and business.
If you’re unsure whether your premises require an assessment, contact our team for guidance. We’re always ready to help.
Manchester has witnessed several serious fire incidents over the years, each highlighting the importance of rigorous fire safety procedures. From mill fires in the 19th century to modern warehouse blazes, the city’s history offers stark reminders of fire’s destructive potential.
In 2017, a significant fire broke out at a Northern Quarter restaurant, leading to widespread road closures and disruption. Similarly, a major blaze in 2013 destroyed part of the Christie Hospital site, one of Manchester’s most prominent healthcare facilities. These incidents underline the continued risk faced by properties across the city.
Whether due to outdated electrical systems or poor fire separation, past events in Manchester demonstrate the necessity of a comprehensive fire risk assessment. Prevention remains the best form of protection.
A legal requirement for most properties, our Manchester Fire Risk Assessment service identifies hazards, assesses risks, and provides a clear action plan to help you achieve compliance with fire safety laws. Our assessors examine all potential risks including electrical faults, blocked exits, and inappropriate storage of flammable materials. The resulting report not only advises on required improvements but also prioritises actions to help you manage your budget and resources effectively.

Once necessary fire precautions are addressed, we issue your official Fire Safety Certificate. This formal document is recognised by insurers, local councils, and licensing bodies as proof that your premises meet current fire safety regulations. Without a valid certificate, you risk penalties, invalid insurance, and potential closure in the event of a compliance check. Find out how our Fire Assessment Certificate service can help you remain compliant.
Ideal for ongoing safety management, this detailed inspection covers every critical fire safety element including alarms, extinguishers, emergency signage, escape routes, and emergency lighting. It provides reassurance that your premises remain compliant between full assessments and can help pre-empt costly rectification works. Discover more about our thorough Fire Safety Inspection service.
