Fire risk assessments in Bolton, Greater Manchester
LRMS is a Bolton-based health, safety and fire consultancy providing suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments across the town and surrounding areas. From town-centre offices and retail units to industrial estates, care homes, schools and residential blocks, we deliver on-site assessments with photographic evidence, clear significant findings and a prioritised action plan — each finding assigned an owner, a priority and a target date. Because we're based locally, we can mobilise quickly across Bolton and Greater Manchester without the travel premiums charged by distant national firms.
Why local Bolton knowledge matters
Our registered office sits on Tonge Moor Road in Bolton (BL2), so we know the local building stock — from Victorian-converted commercial premises in the town centre to modern industrial units at Middlebrook and Logistics North. That local knowledge means faster mobilisation, no inflated travel costs, and assessors who understand the realities of Bolton premises. We support Bolton Council area businesses, housing providers operating across the borough, and multi-site organisations with Bolton locations within wider Greater Manchester portfolios.

Bolton fire risk assessment FAQs
Are you based in Bolton?
Yes. Our registered office is on Tonge Moor Road, Bolton (BL2). Being Bolton-based means we can mobilise quickly across the town and Greater Manchester without the travel premiums charged by distant national firms.
What premises in Bolton do you assess?
We assess offices, retail units, industrial and warehouse premises, care homes, schools, residential blocks, HMOs, hospitality venues and multi-site portfolios across the Bolton area. The scope is agreed according to the premises, occupancy and relevant fire safety legislation.
Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement for my Bolton premises?
In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person to ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out for premises within scope. The Responsible Person is determined by control and legal responsibility for the premises — not always the business owner.
Do fire risk assessments expire annually?
Not automatically. A fire risk assessment must be reviewed regularly and whenever change triggers apply. We record the actual review recommendation, not a blanket annual expiry.
Can you combine a fire risk assessment with a health and safety audit?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver both in a single coordinated site visit to your Bolton premises — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact for both fire and H&S.
