Fire risk assessment in Shrewsbury.
Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and our team regularly works in Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire area.
Shrewsbury is one of England's finest medieval and Tudor towns — the loop of the Severn, the black-and-white timbered buildings of the town centre, and the remarkable concentration of listed buildings in the historic core create a fire safety environment that is among the most complex and demanding in the region. The half-timbered buildings of Butcher Row, Grope Lane, and the surrounding streets share the fire safety characteristics of medieval timber construction — dry historic wood, concealed voids, limited compartmentation, and construction that was not designed to contain fire — combined with their current use as retail premises, restaurants, and visitor attractions serving large numbers of members of the public.
Beyond the historic centre, Shrewsbury has a substantial modern commercial and residential base, including business parks along the A5 corridor, large retail development around the town, and significant residential stock from Victorian to modern. Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the FSO. Shropshire Council manages listed buildings, conservation areas, and HMO licensing.
Our assessors understand the specific fire safety challenges of historic timber-framed buildings and produce documentation that addresses both the FSO obligations and the conservation constraints that apply in Shrewsbury's city centre.

Heritage and listed buildings in Shrewsbury: Shrewsbury's half-timbered town centre requires the same specialist heritage approach as Nantwich and Chester. Our assessors understand the specific fire safety challenges of medieval timber-framed buildings, the constraints that conservation places on remedial options, and how to produce a practical assessment that addresses both the FSO obligations and the planning framework.
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.
