Fire risk assessment in Blackburn
Blackburn has a high density of Victorian terraced housing and a large stock of former textile mills, many of which now hold small industrial and light manufacturing tenants. Both create fire safety problems the original buildings were never designed to handle.
What we typically find in Blackburn
Subdivided mill buildings are the recurring challenge. A single large floorplate split between several tenants often has no agreed fire strategy, no clear responsible person for the common areas, and travel distances well beyond what the layout can support. The terraced housing stock, particularly where properties have been converted to bedsits, brings the familiar single-staircase problem.
