Compliance consultancy services
Our services fall into three groups. Use one, or combine them so a single contact looks after your building’s fire safety, health and safety and building work.
Fire safety and compliance
Fire risk assessments under the Fire Safety Order, fire door inspections and the regular checks required in many blocks of flats, compartmentation surveys, firestopping and passive fire protection, fire door installation and repair, and fire alarm design, installation and maintenance to BS 5839-1. We also advise on building safety duties and manage fire works.
-
Fire risk assessments Assessments for the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order, with an action plan that sets out what to fix and in what order.
-
Fire door inspections Door-by-door surveys, the regular checks for blocks over 11m, and the repairs or replacement doors that follow.
-
Compartmentation surveys Above ceilings and through risers: finding the breaches in walls and floors that let fire and smoke travel.
-

Common questions
All questionsWhat does Resilient Consult do?
We are a construction and compliance consultancy covering three areas: fire safety, health and safety, and construction consultancy. That ranges from fire risk assessments and fire door inspections to COSHH assessments, CDM support, quantity surveying and building surveys. You have one point of contact who scopes the work, arranges it, checks the results and reports back, so you are not managing several separate advisers yourself.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Wigan and work across the North West, including Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cheshire. That covers towns such as Bolton, Warrington, St Helens, Preston and Chorley, as well as Manchester and Liverpool. For larger jobs or multi-site clients we can work further afield on request. Send us the details and we will tell you straight away whether it is something we can take on.
Who actually carries out the surveys and works?
We scope, manage and check every job ourselves. Specialist parts, such as fire surveys and remedial works, asbestos surveys, legionella assessments, training and alarm installations, are carried out through vetted specialist partners who hold the relevant qualifications and third-party certification for that work. You see their certificates. We remain your single point of contact and check both the work and the paperwork before it reaches you.
What do your reports look like?
They are written in plain English with each finding located, photographed and given a clear priority. Where remedial work follows, you receive before, during and after photographs, a log of materials used and the certificates for specialist work. Long programmes come with regular progress reports. Everything is supplied digitally for you to keep, ready for your safety file, an audit or the golden thread for higher-risk buildings.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the size and type of building, the access available and what the work involves, so we do not publish set prices. Once we understand the job, we send a fixed proposal setting out exactly what is included, who will do it and what you will receive. If anything outside that scope comes up on site, we discuss it with you before any extra work goes ahead.
