Fire risk assessment in Crewe.
Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and our team regularly works in Crewe and the surrounding south Cheshire area.
Crewe is a rail town with a substantial industrial and logistics base alongside its town centre commercial stock. The Frances Street and Wistaston Road corridors contain a significant concentration of Victorian terraced housing, much of it in HMO use, that presents specific fire safety challenges — subdivided properties, older electrical installations, and the accumulated modifications of a century of change. Crewe's industrial estates, including Basford East and Crewe Gates, contain warehousing and light industrial premises with their own distinct fire risk profiles.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Crewe and is the enforcing authority for the area. Cheshire East Council operates HMO licensing and building control. The fire at the former Communisis printworks on Frances Street in August 2024 — which required fifteen fire engines and displaced over 350 residents — is a reminder that fire risk in unoccupied and transitional premises in this part of Crewe demands active management.
Our assessors produce documentation accepted for Cheshire East Council licensing applications, and we can usually respond to new bookings in Crewe within one to two weeks.

Crewe HMO licensing: Cheshire East Council operates HMO licensing across Crewe. Our ABBE Level 4 qualified assessors produce documentation accepted for licence applications. We are also familiar with the fire safety context of Crewe's town centre commercial premises following the Frances Street printworks fire of 2024 — vacant and transitional premises in the town centre require active management.
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.
