Fire Risk Assessment · Manchester
Fire risk assessment
in Manchester.
North West specialists.
Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, care homes, and managing agents across Manchester and Greater Manchester. 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 Manchester. We are based in Chester — Manchester 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 An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Manchester fire safety context
Greater Manchester has one of the largest private rented sectors in the North West, a significant and growing stock of residential blocks subject to the Building Safety Act 2022, and a diverse commercial, industrial, and care landscape. Manchester City Council and Salford City Council both operate selective licensing schemes that require evidence of fire safety compliance for HMO and certain BTL properties.
Manchester's city-centre development boom has produced a large volume of purpose-built residential blocks, many of which fall under the BSA 2022's higher-risk building regime. Managing agents responsible for these buildings face materially expanded obligations around fire risk assessment, fire door inspection, and the golden thread of documentation. We work with managing agents across Greater Manchester to bring their portfolios up to standard and keep them there.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is one of the more active enforcement authorities in the North West. Their audit programme covers a wide range of premises types, and enforcement action — including prohibition notices — is not uncommon for buildings where documentation is absent or inadequate. We produce assessments and reports that will withstand scrutiny from both the fire authority and your insurer.

We carry out fire risk assessments across a wide range of premises in Manchester. Our assessors understand the specific enforcement context and documentation requirements for each sector.
