Fire risk assessment in Manchester
Manchester has the most varied building stock we assess. A converted mill in Ancoats, a purpose-built student block in Fallowfield and a first-floor restaurant in the Northern Quarter each carry completely different fire strategies, and a generic assessment serves none of them well.
What we typically find in Manchester
The city centre is dominated by high-rise residential and mixed-use conversions, many of them mills and warehouses where the original compartmentation was never designed for sleeping accommodation. South Manchester runs on student HMOs, particularly through Fallowfield, Withington and Rusholme, where loft conversions and rear extensions frequently break the protected escape route.
LicensingManchester City Council
Manchester operates selective licensing in a number of wards alongside mandatory HMO licensing. Licensing officers routinely ask to see a current fire risk assessment, and a weak one is a common reason for a licence application stalling.
