Fire risk assessment in Whitchurch.
Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and our team regularly works in Whitchurch and the surrounding north Shropshire area.
Whitchurch is a market town close to the Cheshire and Welsh borders, with a historic centre of Georgian and Victorian commercial buildings alongside a rural catchment of agricultural premises, rural businesses, and residential properties. The town sits on the A49 and A525 corridors and serves a wide agricultural and rural catchment — including a significant dairy farming and food processing sector that generates specific fire safety requirements around storage, processing, and refrigeration plant.
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the FSO across the north Shropshire area. Shropshire Council is the licensing authority. Whitchurch's proximity to the Cheshire border means we often combine it with Chester or Nantwich visits — response times are good and we cover the area consistently.

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.
