Fire Risk Assessment · Whitchurch
Fire risk assessment
in Whitchurch.
Shropshire border specialists.
Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Whitchurch and north Shropshire. ABBE Level 4 qualified, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, and fire safety consultancy for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Whitchurch. We are based in Chester — Whitchurch 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. That obligation has been strengthened by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022. An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Whitchurch fire safety context
Whitchurch is the northernmost market town in Shropshire, sitting approximately 20 miles south of Chester on the A41. Its position on the border between Cheshire and Shropshire gives it a character that combines the agricultural and rural commercial activity of north Shropshire with the logistics and distribution businesses more typical of the Cheshire corridor. The town's historic centre contains a significant stock of listed and heritage commercial buildings, including the striking St Alkmund's church and the Georgian and Victorian market-town properties that line the High Street and surrounding streets.
Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service covers Whitchurch and north Shropshire and enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 across all non-domestic premises in the area. The service covers a large rural geography and takes a pragmatic but rigorous approach to compliance — responsible persons in Whitchurch who have not reviewed their assessments recently, or who have never had one carried out, should not assume that rural location reduces enforcement risk.
We are based in Chester, approximately 20 miles north of Whitchurch — closer than most fire safety consultancies operating in this area. We cover Whitchurch, Market Drayton, Wem, and the wider north Shropshire area, and we work across the agricultural, commercial, and residential sectors that characterise the Shropshire border market towns.
