Fire risk assessment in Liverpool.
Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and our team regularly works across Liverpool and Merseyside — it is one of our most active areas.
Liverpool's building stock presents a demanding fire safety environment. The Georgian terraces of Toxteth, Sefton Park, and the city fringe are among the most challenging residential assessment environments in the North West — subdivided over decades, frequently in HMO use, and carrying the accumulated modifications of a century of change. The commercial core, the waterfront developments, and the large hospitality and logistics sectors each present their own specific risk profile.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service is one of the most active enforcement authorities in the region, working closely with Liverpool City Council on selective licensing — creating a combined enforcement environment for residential landlords that is among the most demanding in the country.
Liverpool City Council operates one of the UK's most extensive selective licensing schemes. Our assessors produce documentation accepted for licensing applications and renewals without qualification.

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.
