Experienced Assessors With a Practical Approach
A fire risk assessment is an essential part of managing fire safety within non-domestic premises. It identifies potential fire hazards, considers the people who may be affected and evaluates the measures in place to reduce risk. Regular reviews are also important when buildings, occupancy or how premises are used change.

Fire Risk Assessments Across Altrincham
Fire Safety in Altrincham and Surrounding Areas
Altrincham has a varied mix of commercial, residential and community properties, with the town centre providing a particularly diverse environment for fire safety management. The historic Market House and Altrincham Market sit alongside independent shops, restaurants, cafés and offices around the pedestrianised town centre, while the Stamford Quarter provides further retail, leisure and commercial space. Properties around the Altrincham Interchange also experience regular movement of employees, customers and visitors, making effective fire safety arrangements especially important.
Beyond the town centre, Hale, Hale Barns, Bowdon and Timperley include a mixture of commercial premises, professional services, hospitality venues, schools and residential developments. The area also has connections to larger business and employment locations across Trafford, while its established buildings range from converted historic properties to modern mixed-use developments. A fire risk assessment needs to take account of the individual construction, occupancy and use of each premises rather than relying on a standard approach.

Altrincham Fire Risk Assessment FAQs
Common Fire Safety Questions
Fire safety regulations can feel complicated, but we’re here to help. Below are answers to common questions about fire risk assessments.
1. Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement in Altrincham?
For most non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment. The assessment should consider fire hazards, people at risk and the measures in place to reduce those risks.
2. How often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no single review period that applies to every property. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid, including following significant changes to the premises, its use or the people who may be at risk.
3. What does a fire risk assessment cover?
An assessment considers matters including sources of ignition, combustible materials, people at risk, escape routes, fire detection and warning systems, emergency lighting, firefighting equipment, fire doors and other relevant fire precautions.
4. What happens if fire safety risks are found?
The findings are recorded within the assessment, with recommendations provided where improvements are needed. These recommendations can help the responsible person plan appropriate action to reduce or control identified risks.
5. Does the age of a building affect its fire risk assessment?
It can. Older premises may have historic construction methods, alterations or layouts that need to be considered alongside the building's current use. The assessment should reflect the actual characteristics and risks of the property.
