Fire risk assessment in Northwich.
Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and our team regularly works in Northwich and the surrounding mid-Cheshire area.
Northwich has a fire safety environment shaped by its industrial heritage and its varied commercial and residential stock. The Gadbrook Park and Lostock industrial estates contain distribution, manufacturing, and processing premises with significant fire loads. The Roberts Bakery fire of June 2023 — which required twelve fire engines and kept firefighters on site for over twenty-six hours — illustrated the speed and scale at which a fire in a large industrial building with temporary roof structures can develop, and the long-term consequences for the business housed within it.
The town centre and surrounding residential areas include a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, modern residential development, and a commercial base serving the mid-Cheshire catchment. Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Northwich and is an active enforcement authority across all sectors.
Our assessors produce documentation meeting the standards Cheshire West and Chester Council expects for licensing applications, and we cover Northwich regularly.

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.
