Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Stockport. We are based in Chester — Stockport 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 An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement action, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Stockport fire safety context

Stockport — industrial heritage and a strong commercial base.

Stockport has one of the most recognisable industrial heritages in Greater Manchester — the Merseyway viaduct, the Victorian market and town centre, the former hat manufacturing industry, and a substantial stock of converted mill buildings that now serve as offices, residential apartments, and creative spaces. Converted industrial heritage buildings present specific fire risk assessment and door inspection challenges: non-standard layouts, irregular openings, and the accumulated changes of buildings that have served multiple uses over decades. Our assessors have experience with this building type and assess with the specific characteristics of heritage conversions in mind.

Beyond the heritage stock, Stockport has a substantial commercial and retail base, a significant residential and HMO market, and a well-established care sector. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service covers Stockport and enforces the FSO across the borough. We cover Stockport from Chester, approximately 30 miles to the south-west.

Who we work with in Stockport

Every building type has its own obligations.

We carry out fire risk assessments across a wide range of premises in Stockport. Our assessors understand the specific enforcement context and documentation requirements for each sector.

Heritage & converted buildings

Mill conversions and Victorian commercial stock

Stockport's converted heritage buildings require assessors who understand non-standard layouts, irregular openings, and the specific fire risk profile of industrial building conversions.

Three services. One point of contact.

Assessment, inspection, and training. All from one team.

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.
