Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and our team regularly works in Ashton-in-Makerfield as part of our Greater Manchester and Wigan borough coverage.
Ashton-in-Makerfield is a town in the Wigan metropolitan borough with a mixed industrial and residential character. The town sits close to the M6 and East Lancashire Road corridors and has a significant logistics and commercial base alongside its residential stock. The area's proximity to Wigan and St Helens means it shares characteristics with both — a substantial HMO sector in the older residential stock, and modern industrial and distribution premises along the main transport routes.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is the enforcing authority. Wigan Council operates licensing across the borough. Our assessors cover Ashton-in-Makerfield as part of our Wigan and Greater Manchester coverage.

Everything the FSO requires. Nothing generic.
01 — Hazard identification
Sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen
Every ignition source and fuel load in your building identified and assessed — specific to your premises, not a category checklist.
02 — People at risk
All occupants, including those needing assistance
Staff, residents, visitors, contractors — and specifically those who may need assistance to evacuate. PEEP provisions assessed where required.
03 — Existing precautions
Detection, escape routes, doors, lighting, equipment
Every element of fire safety provision evaluated against the standard appropriate for your building type and occupancy — specific findings, specific locations.
04 — Management arrangements
Training, maintenance, evacuation plan
Your fire safety management reviewed — training records, maintenance schedules, evacuation procedure, fire safety policy — not just the physical building.
05 — Written report
Specific findings, prioritised action plan
A building-specific written report with every finding named, located, and prioritised. Usable by the responsible person, their contractors, their insurer, and the fire authority.
06 — Review date
When to review and what triggers early review
Clear guidance on the review schedule and the specific circumstances — refurbishment, change of use, near-miss — that require an earlier review.
Every premises type has its own obligations and risks.
