Fire risk assessment in Bury
Bury work is mostly small commercial and mixed-use. The market and the surrounding town centre are full of ground-floor retail with flats above, which is the single most common arrangement we assess in the borough and the one most likely to have an unprotected shared staircase.
What we typically find in Bury
Town centre premises tend to be Victorian, with the shop and the flat above under different occupation and often different ownership. That split is exactly where responsibility for the common parts gets lost. Out towards Ramsbottom and Tottington there is more mill conversion and small hospitality, where kitchen extract and escape width are the recurring findings.
LicensingBury Council
Bury applies mandatory HMO licensing. Mixed commercial and residential buildings also fall squarely under the Fire Safety Order for their common parts, which catches out a lot of shop owners who assume it only applies to the business.
