Site-specific fire evacuation plans for premises across Macclesfield, Bollington, Poynton, and the surrounding Cheshire East area. Written by a qualified assessor, built around your building, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, fire safety training and fire safety consultancy for businesses, landlords and property managers across Macclesfield. We are based in Chester, and Macclesfield is a regular part of our working week. Every job is carried out by an ABBE Level 4 qualified assessor with real sector experience.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises is legally required to ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out by a competent person. That obligation has been strengthened by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022. An outdated or inadequate approach leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.
A fire evacuation plan for a Macclesfield premises has to reflect the building it actually describes, and in a town of converted mills, subdivided Georgian buildings and care settings that is rarely simple. Escape routes through a converted mill, a single-staircase town-centre building, or a care home with residents who cannot use the stairs unaided all demand a site-specific plan rather than a template downloaded from the internet, which does nothing for your actual premises.
The town also carries a substantial residential and HMO market around the railway station, Hurdsfield and the town centre, a pharmaceutical and manufacturing base on its edges, and a run of care and healthcare premises serving an ageing population, with Macclesfield District General Hospital at the centre of it. Industrial and process units on estates such as Hurdsfield and Lyme Green sit at the opposite end of the risk spectrum to a Georgian town-centre office, but both fall under the same legal duty and both need someone who understands what they are looking at.
Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service covers Macclesfield and is an active enforcement authority, and the town sits within Cheshire East Council for licensing and building control. We cover Macclesfield, Bollington, Poynton, and the surrounding Cheshire East area regularly, and we produce documentation that meets the expectations of the fire authority, your insurer, and any licensing authority with jurisdiction over your premises.
We write site-specific evacuation plans across every kind of premises in Macclesfield, flowing directly from the fire risk assessment.
Listed buildings & mill conversions
Macclesfield's converted silk mills and Georgian buildings carry a high fire load and little tolerance for alteration, particularly around the town centre, Sunderland Street and Park Green.
