Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Middlewich, Sandbach, Holmes Chapel and the surrounding Cheshire area. ABBE Level 4 qualified, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, fire safety training and fire safety consultancy for businesses, landlords and property managers across Middlewich. We are based in Chester, and Middlewich is a regular part of our working week. Every job is carried out by an ABBE Level 4 qualified assessor with real sector experience.
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 An outdated or inadequate approach leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.
Middlewich grew on salt, and that industrial inheritance still shapes the town. Processing and manufacturing premises sit alongside the junction where the Trent and Mersey meets the Shropshire Union, and the centre carries the usual mix of retail, hospitality and flats above shops.
Industrial and process premises sit alongside canalside commercial units, town-centre retail and hospitality, flats above shops and care premises. Both ends of the risk spectrum fall under the same legal duty.
Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service covers Middlewich and is an active enforcement authority, and the town sits within Cheshire East Council for licensing and building control. We cover Middlewich, Sandbach, Holmes Chapel and the surrounding Cheshire area regularly, and we produce documentation that meets the expectations of the fire authority, your insurer, and any licensing authority with jurisdiction over your premises.
We carry out fire risk assessments across a wide range of premises in Middlewich. Our assessors understand the specific enforcement context and documentation requirements for each sector.
