Close to home, and already on site
Liverpool is one of our nearest cities. We already support Liverpool businesses, including Plasma Fresh at Liverpool Science Park, along with clients whose projects take them to sites across Merseyside. Being close means we can visit quickly, whether it's a fire risk assessment ahead of a licence application or a site inspection on a live project.
Who regulates what in Liverpool
- Fire safety: Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and the Wirral.
- Workplace health and safety: for offices, shops, bars, restaurants and hotels, it's usually the local council's environmental health team. For construction sites, docks, factories and warehouses, it's the HSE.
- Rented housing: Liverpool City Council handles HMO licensing, and the city has operated large-scale landlord licensing schemes. Schemes change, so check what currently applies to your property. We can help you prepare the fire safety evidence.
What we see in Liverpool
Liverpool combines a large private rented sector, including student HMOs and city-centre flats in converted older buildings, with a thriving hospitality and visitor economy and ongoing waterfront and city-centre regeneration. Converted warehouses and older commercial buildings often have complex escape routes and fire separation that needs careful assessment. Our hospitality clients value advice that improves fire safety while keeping the character of the building.
