Fire risk assessment
in Wigan.
North West specialists.
Fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Wigan and the surrounding area. ABBE Level 4 qualified, from £295.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Wigan. We are based in Chester — Wigan 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 An outdated or inadequate assessment leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement action, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.

Wigan fire safety context
Wigan borough spans a large geographic area across west Greater Manchester and parts of Merseyside, taking in Leigh, Atherton, Hindley, and Tyldesley alongside the town itself. The borough's economic base combines significant warehousing and logistics operations — particularly around the motorway junctions — with a substantial retail, care, and community sector. Vacant and underused buildings are a notable feature of certain parts of Wigan town centre and the surrounding former mining areas, presenting a distinct fire risk profile that a responsible person commissioning an assessment should ensure is addressed explicitly.
We have written about vacant building fire risk in the context of the Wigan area on our blog — the lessons from premises like the Whelley Labour Club that have remained empty for extended periods are directly relevant to landlords and building owners with unoccupied properties across the borough. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service covers Wigan and takes a practical but rigorous approach to compliance across the borough's diverse premises base.
Who we work with in Wigan
We carry out fire risk assessments across a wide range of premises in Wigan. Our assessors understand the specific enforcement context and documentation requirements for each sector.
Commercial & industrial
Warehouses, logistics, and town-centre premises
Wigan's logistics sector around the M6 corridor and its town-centre commercial stock both require assessments that reflect their specific risk profiles. We assess from £295.
Vacant & unoccupied premises
Empty buildings and properties between uses
Vacant buildings carry elevated fire risk from arson and accumulating hazards. We assess vacant and partially-occupied premises and advise on appropriate security and risk mitigation measures.
HMO & BTL landlords
Wigan and surrounding area residential
We produce assessments for HMOs and multi-let properties across Wigan and the wider borough, suitable for Wigan MBC licensing requirements.
Care & healthcare
Care homes and GP surgeries across the borough
CQC-ready documentation for care facilities across Wigan borough. PEEP review and evacuation strategy as standard.
Three services. One point of contact.
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.
