On-site fire safety and fire marshal training for businesses across Congleton, Biddulph, Holmes Chapel and the surrounding Cheshire East area. Tailored to your premises, live extinguisher use, from £395.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, fire safety training and fire safety consultancy for businesses, landlords and property managers across Congleton. We are based in Chester, and Congleton is a regular part of our working week. Every job is carried out by an ABBE Level 4 qualified assessor with real sector experience.
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 An outdated or inadequate approach leaves the responsible person exposed to enforcement, invalidated insurance, and prosecution.
On a Congleton production floor, evacuation has to work against machinery, noise and shift patterns, and the staff on shift are the first line of response before the fire service arrives.
The town carries engineering and aerospace manufacturing on its estates, a town-centre mix of retail and hospitality, residential blocks and HMOs, and care premises serving the surrounding area. Each sits under the same legal duty but presents very different risks.
Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service covers Congleton and is an active enforcement authority, and the town sits within Cheshire East Council for licensing and building control. We cover Congleton, Biddulph, Holmes Chapel and the surrounding Cheshire East area regularly, and we produce documentation that meets the expectations of the fire authority, your insurer, and any licensing authority with jurisdiction over your premises.
We train staff and fire marshals across every kind of premises in Congleton, on-site and built around your building.
