Trusted Compliance Support from D.M.B Services Ltd
For more than 17 years, D.M.B Services Ltd has been helping organisations across Cheshire manage their fire and electrical safety responsibilities with confidence.
From small businesses and property managers to large commercial sites, our team delivers professional, accredited compliance services aligned with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety Act 2021, and all relevant British Standards.
Working from our base in Stoke-on-Trent, we support clients throughout Cheshire with specialist expertise backed by memberships with the IFSM and FIA.
Whether you operate a single site or manage multiple premises, we provide the competence, experience, and reliability needed to safeguard your building and the people who use it.
Fire Risk Assessments (PAS 79-Informed Approach)
Our fire risk assessments follow the recognised PAS 79 structure to give you a thorough, practical evaluation of fire safety within your building.
Every assessment includes a review of hazards, vulnerable persons, equipment, escape routes, and management procedures, supported by clear photographs and prioritised recommendations.
The final report is detailed yet easy to follow, giving you a clear roadmap to compliance and peace of mind during audits and fire authority inspections.
Fire Strategy Development
We design and prepare fire strategies for a wide range of properties throughout Cheshire—including HMOs, commercial buildings, new developments, refurbishments, and complex multi-use sites.
Each strategy sets out the key principles necessary for compliant fire safety management, including evacuation arrangements, compartmentation, alarm and detection requirements, and fire protection systems.
A robust fire strategy helps ensure long-term safety, supports building control applications, and strengthens your overall compliance position.
Occupancy Load Calculations
Accurate occupancy calculations are essential for safe evacuation planning.
We provide professionally produced calculations based on Approved Document B and other recognised fire safety criteria, ensuring your layouts, escape routes, and capacity limits meet both legal obligations and practical operational needs.
Fractional Fire Safety Manager Service
Many Cheshire organisations rely on our outsourced Fire Safety Manager service for ongoing, expert support. It’s an ideal solution for duty holders who need competent fire safety leadership without hiring internally.
We oversee documentation, routine checks, testing schedules, liaison with insurers and enforcing authorities, and continuous monitoring of your compliance position, helping you stay organised, protected, and fully up to date with legislative requirements.
Fire Door Inspections & Surveys
We carry out structured inspections of fire doors throughout commercial, industrial, educational, and residential buildings in Cheshire. Our surveys cover door leaf condition, gaps and tolerances, sealing, glazing, ironmongery, signage, and operational performance. Each inspection is accompanied by a photographic report that outlines defects, prioritised actions, and the measures required to maintain compliance with the Fire Safety Order and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
Fire Safety Training
We deliver on-site fire safety training designed around your premises and the responsibilities of your staff.
Courses include fire warden training, extinguisher awareness, evacuation instruction, Responsible Person training, and general fire safety inductions.
Training sessions are practical, relevant, and aligned with real-world risks in your building.
Fire Protection & Life Safety Systems
Fire Extinguishers – Supply, Installation & Annual Servicing
Our team provides complete extinguisher solutions for businesses across Cheshire—from selecting and installing suitable units through to BS 5306-compliant servicing and certification.
We ensure each extinguisher is correctly located, commissioned, maintained, and documented.
Emergency Lighting Risk Assessments
We assess existing emergency lighting systems against BS 5266 and identify where improvements or upgrades are required. Our reviews examine coverage, condition, illumination levels, and documentation, giving you clarity over your building’s compliance.
Emergency Lighting Testing & Certification
We offer scheduled monthly and annual emergency lighting testing, including functional checks, duration testing, logbook recording, fault diagnosis, and full certification.
This ensures your escape routes remain safely lit during an emergency and your compliance records are always up to date.

Electrical Inspection & Testing
We provide electrical testing and compliance work throughout Cheshire.
Our services include EICRs, periodic testing, fault identification, remedial repairs, and certification for both commercial and residential premises.
All work is completed in accordance with BS 7671.

About Cheshire
Cheshire is a well-connected and economically diverse county, home to around one million residents and a wide mix of commercial, industrial, scientific, and rural businesses.
Its economy is strengthened by sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, engineering, agriculture, logistics, warehousing, retail, and professional services—all of which depend on robust fire and electrical safety management to protect staff, assets, and operations.
The county benefits from strong transport routes including the M6, M56, A55, and major rail links through Crewe, making it a key location for distribution centres, science parks, and business hubs. Large industrial estates, technology campuses, and commercial sites across Cheshire require compliant fire risk assessments, emergency lighting systems, and proactive electrical safety management to ensure safe operations.
Fire safety guidance and local regulatory support are provided by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, which operates stations in Chester, Warrington, Crewe, Ellesmere Port, Macclesfield, and other surrounding areas. Businesses can access advice on evacuation planning, safety legislation, and enforcement responsibilities through the Service’s Protection and Business Safety teams.
However, the duty to carry out fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, electrical testing, and ongoing safety management sits with each responsible person—making professional guidance from qualified providers essential.
