M6 Fire Safety
Professional fire risk assessments for your business. Fully impartial, UK compliant, and trusted across the Midlands & North West.
Learning from history: fire safety saves lives
The Midlands and North West have witnessed devastating fires that shaped modern fire safety. In 1973, the Summerland disaster in Douglas (Isle of Man) drove major changes in fire regulations across the UK. Closer to home, the 2007 Warwickshire industrial fire and 2018 Bolton mill fire highlighted the need for robust fire risk assessments. Today, thanks to legislation and professional fire risk assessments, similar tragedies are preventable. M6 Fire Safety ensures your premises meet the highest standards — because history must never repeat.
Hyperlocal update (May 2026): Following recent Fire Reform Act updates, local fire services in Lancashire & West Midlands have increased auditing. Don't wait for an enforcement notice — secure your assessment today.

Does Your Business Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
If you own any non-domestic property in the UK — from shops and HMOs to factories and churches — a fire risk assessment is legally required. Since October 2023, the exemption for premises with fewer than five employees no longer applies. Don't risk enforcement.
How Often Should You Review?
Annual reviews are industry best practice. Changes in building use, layout, or legislation (including 2023 updates) mean your FRA must stay current. M6 Fire Safety helps you remain compliant.
