Melwood Facilities carries out fire risk assessments in Manchester for businesses, landlords, managing agents and organisations responsible for commercial and residential property.
We assess the premises as it is being used now, identify potential fire hazards and review the measures already in place to protect people. Once the visit is complete, you receive a written report setting out the findings and any actions that need attention.
Fire Risk Assessment Services for Manchester Premises
The assessment needs to fit the premises. An office can have different fire safety concerns from a restaurant, warehouse or residential block. Staff numbers, equipment, storage, access and how people move around the building can all affect the risks present.
Commercial Fire Risk Assessments
For offices, shops, hospitality premises and other commercial buildings where staff, customers and visitors need to be considered.
Commercial fire risk assessments →
Industrial Fire Risk Assessments
For warehouses and industrial premises involving machinery, stored materials or working areas with different fire risks.
Industrial fire risk assessments →
Residential Fire Risk Assessments
Type 1 to Type 4 assessments are available for relevant residential premises, including shared and multi-occupied buildings.
Residential fire risk assessments →
Educational Fire Risk Assessments
Assessments for educational premises where staff, students, visitors and evacuation arrangements all need consideration.
Educational fire risk assessments →What the Assessment Covers
The purpose of the visit is to understand what could cause a fire, who may be affected and whether suitable measures are already in place.
These areas are considered together. Having a fire alarm or extinguisher present does not answer every question about fire safety. The assessor looks at whether the arrangements make sense for the premises and the people using it.

Site Assessment
Our assessor visits the premises and reviews the current fire risks and safety arrangements.
Written Findings
You receive a report setting out the significant findings and recommended actions.
What You Receive Afterwards
The written report gives the person responsible for the premises something practical to work from.
Where an issue has been identified, recommendations are set out so you can see what needs attention. This could involve a change to the way fire safety is managed, maintenance work or a recommendation for a more detailed inspection.
The report can then form part of the ongoing fire safety management of the property rather than being filed away after the visit.
Already Have a Fire Risk Assessment?
An existing report can still need another look if the building or the way it is used has changed.
Rooms are rearranged, equipment is introduced, staff numbers change and landlords may have new tenants. A managing agent may take responsibility for a property assessed under different circumstances.
If you are unsure whether the existing assessment still reflects the premises, tell us what has changed and what information you already have.
If Further Inspection Is Needed
A fire risk assessment looks at the overall fire risks within the building. Some findings need a more focused inspection.
Fire Door Surveys
If concerns are identified around fire doors, Melwood Facilities can carry out a dedicated inspection.

View compartmentation surveys →Fire Training
Training is available where organisations need further support with staff knowledge and emergency arrangements.
