Fire risk assessment in Wrexham.
Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and Wrexham is our primary North Wales base — a regular part of our working week throughout the year.
Wrexham is the largest town in north Wales and presents a varied fire safety environment. The town centre commercial stock includes Victorian and Edwardian buildings alongside modern retail and office premises. The surrounding industrial estates — Wrexham Industrial Estate is one of the largest in Wales — contain a significant concentration of manufacturing, processing, and distribution premises with demanding fire risk profiles. The residential sector includes a substantial HMO market around Wrexham Glyndŵr University.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service is the enforcing authority for Wrexham and covers the full border region. Wrexham County Borough Council operates HMO licensing and building control. Welsh fire safety legislation broadly mirrors the English framework but there are some differences in the implementing regulations, particularly under the Building Safety (Wales) Bill, which is progressing through the Senedd.
Our assessors produce documentation meeting the standards both authorities expect, and we cover Wrexham consistently as a core part of our North Wales operation.

Industry, a growing city and student lets.
Wrexham Industrial Estate is one of the largest in the UK. Manufacturing, food production and logistics there bring high fire loads, shift working and large numbers of staff to evacuate, often across several buildings on one site.
The city centre mixes older commercial buildings, flats above shops and a growing hospitality and visitor economy, while Wrexham University adds purpose-built student housing and shared houses in the surrounding streets.
In Wales, rented homes come under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, but the common parts of flats and HMOs and all non-domestic premises still need a fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Order. Wrexham Council has run an additional licensing scheme for HMOs since 2022. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service is the enforcing authority.
Nearby areas we also cover: Mold, Deeside, Llangollen, Chester.
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.

How fire safety is enforced in Wrexham
Wrexham is covered by North Wales Fire and Rescue Service. In the year to March 2025 it carried out 320 fire safety audits, and 24.1% required further action: the lowest rate of the three Welsh fire and rescue services.
When an audit finds premises falling short, the fire risk assessment itself is one of the fundamentals inspectors most often cite.
Audit results partly reflect how each service targets its inspections, so they show where enforcement attention falls rather than how safe an area is. Source: StatsWales, year ending March 2025.
