Fire risk assessment in
Newcastle-under-Lyme.
North Staffordshire specialists.
Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Newcastle-under-Lyme and north Staffordshire. ABBE Level 4 qualified, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Newcastle-under-Lyme. We are based in Chester — Newcastle-under-Lyme 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. The Building Safety Act 2022 has strengthened those obligations further. An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement action, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Newcastle-under-Lyme fire safety context
Newcastle-under-Lyme sits immediately west of Stoke-on-Trent and shares much of its economic character, but has a distinct identity of its own — anchored by Keele University, one of the UK's leading universities, which occupies a substantial campus to the west of the town and generates significant student housing demand across the borough. The student HMO market in Newcastle-under-Lyme is large and active, and the fire safety compliance picture across the sector is variable — template assessments, unactioned action plans, and unverified assessor qualifications are all common findings when we review existing documentation for new landlord clients.
Beyond the student sector, Newcastle-under-Lyme has a substantial commercial and retail base, a well-developed care and healthcare sector, and a residential market that extends into the surrounding villages and countryside. Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Newcastle-under-Lyme and the broader north Staffordshire area. We cover the town from Chester, approximately 38 miles to the north.

Three services. One point of contact.
A fire risk assessment is the gateway to everything else we do. Where an assessment identifies fire door concerns, a dedicated fire door inspection is the appropriate follow-up. Where the assessment highlights training gaps, on-site fire safety training closes them. We can coordinate all three services to minimise disruption to your building and its occupants.
