Fire Risk Assessment · Ellesmere Port
Fire risk assessment in
Ellesmere Port.
Cheshire specialists.
Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Ellesmere Port and Cheshire West. ABBE Level 4 qualified, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, and fire safety consultancy for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Ellesmere Port. We are based in Chester — Ellesmere Port is a regular part of our working week. Every assessment is carried out by an ABBE Level 4 qualified assessor with real sector experience, from £295.
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 An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Ellesmere Port fire safety context
Ellesmere Port has one of the most distinctive industrial profiles of any town in Cheshire West. The Stanlow complex and associated petrochemical and refining operations dominate the eastern side of the town, but the surrounding commercial estate — logistics, manufacturing, food processing, and distribution — presents its own fire safety obligations that are entirely separate from the major hazard sites. For most commercial and industrial premises in Ellesmere Port, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in full, and Cheshire Fire & Rescue's inspection programme covers the town's diverse business sector.
The residential sector in Ellesmere Port has undergone significant change, with a mix of established social housing estates, private rental stock, and some newer development around the town centre. Cheshire West & Chester Council is the licensing authority for HMOs in the area, and Cheshire Fire & Rescue maintains active oversight of multi-occupied residential buildings across the district.
We are based in Chester — Ellesmere Port is approximately 8 miles north, one of the closest areas in our regular working territory. We cover the full Ellesmere Port area including the Cheshire Oaks and business park zones, and can typically offer rapid response for assessments in the area.
