Fire risk assessments in Manchester that lead to action

Fire risk assessments in Manchester, Greater Manchester

LRMS provides suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments across Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area. From city-centre offices and converted mills to industrial estates, care environments, educational settings and residential blocks, we deliver on-site assessments with photographic evidence, clear significant findings and a prioritised action plan. Each finding is assigned an owner, a priority and a target date. As a North West consultancy based close to Manchester, we mobilise quickly without the travel premiums charged by distant national firms.

Why local Manchester knowledge matters

Manchester's building stock ranges from Victorian industrial conversions and historic commercial premises to modern high-rise developments and out-of-town business parks. We understand the realities of Manchester premises — from city-centre mixed-use blocks to industrial units at Trafford Park and residential portfolios across the conurbation. That regional knowledge means practical, proportionate assessments that reflect how Manchester organisations actually operate.

Scope & Responsible Person

We confirm the scope, identify the Responsible Person and understand who uses your premises.

On-site assessment

A thorough on-site review of hazards, people at risk, controls, escape routes and compartmentation.

Significant findings

Findings are documented with photographs, priority ratings and clear recommendations.

Prioritised action plan

Each action gets an owner and target date so you can close findings with confidence.

What you receive

Practical, documented outputs — designed to be acted on, not filed and forgotten.

Do you cover Manchester?

Yes. As a North West consultancy based in Greater Manchester, we provide fire risk assessments across Manchester city centre and the wider conurbation, with fast mobilisation and no distant-firm travel premiums.

What premises in Manchester do you assess?

We assess city-centre offices, mixed-use developments, industrial and warehouse premises, care homes, schools and universities, residential blocks, HMOs, hospitality venues and multi-site portfolios across Manchester. The scope is agreed according to the premises, occupancy and relevant fire safety legislation.

Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement for my Manchester 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 Manchester premises — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact for both fire and H&S.
