Fire risk assessment in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly works in Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding area as part of our Staffordshire coverage.
Newcastle-under-Lyme is a market town adjacent to Stoke-on-Trent with a distinct character — the historic town centre, Keele University to the west, and the residential and commercial areas of the Westlands and Clayton providing a varied building stock. The university's presence gives Newcastle-under-Lyme a substantial student accommodation and HMO sector, with significant concentrations of licensed and unlicensed HMOs in the streets around the campus and in the inner residential areas.
The town centre commercial stock includes a mix of historic and modern buildings. The Keele University campus itself is a significant and complex estate with specific fire safety obligations across its teaching, residential, and public-facing buildings. Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the FSO. Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council operates licensing.
Our assessors cover Newcastle-under-Lyme regularly. We produce documentation appropriate to the specific building type and occupancy — from standard commercial assessments to the more complex requirements of student accommodation and university estate.

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.
