Fire risk assessment
in Rochdale.
North West specialists.
Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Rochdale and the Pennine fringe. ABBE Level 4 qualified, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Rochdale. We are based in Chester — Rochdale 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 An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement action, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Rochdale fire safety context
Rochdale shares much of the character of its near neighbour Oldham — a significant heritage mill building stock, an active HMO and multi-let residential market, and an economic base that mixes manufacturing and logistics with retail, care, and community sector activity. The town's position on the Pennine fringe also means a proportion of its commercial and agricultural hinterland includes rural and semi-rural premises that have their own distinct fire safety profile.
Rochdale MBC has been active in addressing housing standards across the borough, and fire safety compliance — including the quality of fire risk assessments held by landlords — is scrutinised during licensing and enforcement activity. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service covers Rochdale and enforces the FSO across the borough. We cover Rochdale from Chester and deliver assessments, inspections, and training across all sectors and premises types.

Heritage & converted mills

Rochdale's mill building stock — whether converted to residential, commercial, or mixed use — requires assessors who understand the specific construction and compartmentation characteristics of mill buildings.

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.
