Fire risk assessment
in Nantwich.
Cheshire specialists.
Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Nantwich and south Cheshire. 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 Nantwich. We are based in Chester — Nantwich 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 An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Nantwich fire safety context
Nantwich is one of the most architecturally significant market towns in Cheshire — a compact historic centre of medieval, Tudor, and Georgian buildings that draws visitors, supports a thriving independent retail and hospitality sector, and presents fire safety challenges that are distinctly different from those of a modern commercial premises. The town's half-timbered buildings, tight street layouts, and the presence of St Mary's Church as a dominant historic structure in the centre create a risk environment where an assessor's understanding of heritage building construction genuinely matters.
Beyond the historic centre, Nantwich has a substantial residential and commercial hinterland serving the wider south Cheshire area — HMO and multi-let residential stock, care homes, GP surgeries, schools, and the agricultural and food industry businesses for which the Cheshire Plain is known. The town is a significant centre for the equestrian and agricultural show circuit, with the Nantwich Show and the International Cheese Show bringing temporary and event-related fire safety obligations alongside the permanent premises base.
Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service covers Nantwich under its South area command, based at Crewe. We cover Nantwich, Crewe, Sandbach, and the wider south Cheshire area from Chester, approximately 22 miles to the north, and we produce assessments for the full range of premises types that Nantwich's varied economy presents.
