Bury is the principal town within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, with a busy centre built around landmarks including Bury Market, The Rock and Mill Gate. The town combines retail, hospitality, leisure, offices and community facilities, while regeneration plans include further opportunities for residential, business and employment space. Beyond the central area, the borough includes the six towns of Bury, Prestwich, Radcliffe, Ramsbottom, Tottington and Whitefield, creating a broad mix of urban and suburban premises.
The wider borough also includes established business areas, industrial premises and more rural communities towards the north, with the River Irwell and surrounding landscape contributing to the area's distinctive character. Ramsbottom and Tottington sit closer to the rural northern part of the borough, while Radcliffe, Whitefield and Prestwich provide further commercial and residential centres with their own mix of premises. This varied environment means fire safety requirements can differ significantly between properties, making professional assessment an important part of responsible building management.

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 legally required?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person for most non-domestic premises to carry out and maintain an appropriate fire risk assessment. The assessment should identify fire hazards, consider people at risk and determine measures needed to reduce the risk.
2. How often should fire risk assessments be reviewed?
There is no single review period that applies to every building. The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid, including following significant changes to the premises, its use or the people who may be at risk.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 potential fire hazards, sources of ignition and fuel, people at risk, existing fire safety measures and arrangements for warning and evacuating occupants. It also identifies where additional measures may be required.
4. Should a fire risk assessment be reviewed after refurbishment?
Yes. Alterations, refurbishment, changes to internal layouts or changes in how a building is used can affect fire hazards and escape arrangements. The assessment should be reviewed where these changes may affect the validity of the existing findings.
5. Do you offer services outside Bury?
Yes, we provide fire risk assessments across the UK.
