Fire Risk Assessment · Liverpool
Fire risk assessment
in Liverpool.
Chester-based. Liverpool-ready.
We carry out fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Liverpool and Merseyside. ABBE Level 4 qualified assessors, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, and fire safety consultancy for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Liverpool. We are based in Chester — Liverpool 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 An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Liverpool licensing
Liverpool City Council operates one of the most extensive selective licensing schemes in England. If you let residential property in Liverpool, you almost certainly need a licence — and a current fire risk assessment is part of the application. The scheme covers the vast majority of the city's private rented sector, including standard buy-to-let properties as well as HMOs.
Our assessors hold the ABBE Level 4 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment, the competence benchmark widely accepted by Liverpool City Council as evidence of assessor qualification. We work with Liverpool landlords at every stage — fresh assessments for new applications, reviews at renewal, and rapid-turnaround assessments for landlords facing enforcement action from the council or Merseyside Fire & Rescue.
Liverpool also has a substantial stock of residential blocks now subject to the Building Safety Act 2022, particularly in the city centre and Baltic Triangle. Managing agents responsible for these buildings have significantly expanded documentation and inspection obligations. We provide portfolio-wide assessment and fire door inspection services for managing agents across Merseyside. See our managing agents page for detail.
Liverpool selective licensing postcodes: The scheme currently covers L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L11, L13, L15 and additional areas. Coverage changes periodically. Call us on 01244 394 244 and we will advise on your specific postcode.
