Fire risk assessment in Wigan

The Wigan borough is spread out, and the work reflects that. Industrial and warehouse units around Martland Park and Robin Park sit alongside a large stock of terraced housing through Wigan, Leigh and Ashton-in-Makerfield that has steadily been converted to shared occupation.

The building stock

What we typically find in Wigan

Industrial units bring their own problems: high fire loading, racking that blocks escape routes, and processes that were introduced long after the building was designed. On the residential side, the borough has a lot of two-up two-down terraces where converting the second bedroom leaves a single staircase serving every room.

Licensing

Wigan Council

Wigan operates mandatory HMO licensing. Commercial landlords should note that the responsible person for a leased industrial unit is very often the tenant rather than the freeholder, and both parties regularly assume it is the other.
