Fire Risk Assessments Manchester – Protect Your Property and Stay Compliant

 Are you a property owner, landlord, or business in Manchester? Ensure your premises are safe and legally compliant with a professional fire risk assessment.


Why Fire Risk Assessments Matter

Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for all non-domestic properties in the UK. Whether you manage a commercial office, residential block, HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), or retail space, you must identify fire hazards, evaluate risks, and implement necessary safety measures.

Failing to carry out a fire risk assessment can result in serious consequences, including fines, legal action, or even imprisonment if negligence leads to injury or death.
