Fire risk assessment in Stockport.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly works in Stockport as part of our Greater Manchester coverage.
Stockport's building stock is characterised by its historic market town core — the Victorian market hall and the streets around it contain a mix of listed and conservation-area buildings where standard fire safety interventions must be considered against the constraints of planning and heritage legislation. The town's famous viaduct sits at the heart of a commercial area that includes a concentration of independent businesses, restaurants, and hospitality venues in premises of varying age and condition.
Beyond the town centre, Stockport has a substantial industrial heritage in its former hat-making and manufacturing base, with significant numbers of converted mill and factory buildings in residential and commercial use. The M63 corridor contains modern warehousing and distribution premises with their own distinct fire risk profiles. HMO use is significant in the older residential stock of Heaton Norris, Edgeley, and the inner suburbs.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service enforces the FSO across Stockport. Stockport Council operates HMO licensing. Our assessors produce documentation meeting both authorities' standards.

Working in Stockport: Greater Manchester FRS is the enforcing authority and Stockport Council oversees licensing.

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.
