Is a Fire Risk Assessment a Legal Requirement in Manchester?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to every non-domestic premises in England and Wales — including all of Greater Manchester. If you are responsible for a workplace, rented property, HMO, block of flats, care home, or any communal building, a documented fire risk assessment carried out by a competent person is not optional.
If you employ five or more people, the assessment must be in writing. The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service enforces this legislation actively — non-compliance can result in Enforcement Notices, Prohibition Orders (closing your premises), unlimited fines, and prosecution of responsible persons.

How long does a fire risk assessment take in Manchester?
Most assessments are completed in 1 to 4 hours. A small office or retail unit may be done in under 2 hours, while a larger property — such as an HMO, care home, or multi-storey block — may require a full day. We always work efficiently to minimise disruption to your operations.

Yes. We specialise in residential property types including Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), purpose-built flat blocks, sheltered housing, and communal areas in apartment buildings. All residential assessments are produced to PAS 79-2:2020 — the specific British Standard for residential premises.
How often should a fire risk assessment be renewed in Manchester?
We recommend a formal review every 12 months, or sooner if there is a significant change to your property — such as a change in use, refurbishment, or a change in occupancy. We offer scheduled annual review visits to keep your assessment current without the hassle of remembering when it's due.
What legislation covers fire safety in Manchester?
The primary legislation is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO). Additionally, following recent updates, the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 also apply, which place stricter requirements on multi-occupied residential buildings, including the assessment of external walls and flat entrance doors.
