Fire Risk Assessments Across Stockport
Fire Safety Across the Borough
Stockport combines a historic town centre with busy commercial areas, established residential communities and significant regeneration. The town centre includes the historic Market Place, Stockport's iconic railway viaduct and the wider Merseyway shopping area, alongside offices, hospitality venues, leisure premises and community facilities. Developments around Stockport Exchange and the town centre are also adding new commercial and residential space, creating a continually changing mix of occupied buildings.
The wider borough stretches across a varied landscape, with communities including Bramhall, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove, Marple and Romiley. Business and industrial areas sit alongside schools, healthcare facilities, retail premises and residential developments, while the eastern part of the borough reaches towards the Peak District landscape. This combination of urban, suburban and semi-rural properties creates different fire safety considerations, making professional assessment an important part of responsible building management.

Stockport 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 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 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 The assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid, including following significant changes to the premises, its use or the people who may be at risk.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 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 the 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. What happens if fire safety risks are identified?
The assessment report will explain the relevant findings and provide practical recommendations for addressing identified issues. These findings can then be used to plan appropriate remedial action and support ongoing fire safety management.
