Wigan-based · working across the North West
Resilient Consult is a Wigan-based consultancy that keeps your buildings and projects compliant, with one person to deal with for fire, health and safety and construction.
What we do
Most buildings need all three at some point. Keeping them with one consultant means the fire survey, the safety paperwork and the building work stop contradicting each other.
Fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, compartmentation surveys and the remedial work they lead to, including firestopping, door repairs and fire alarm systems. We scope it, arrange it through specialist partners, check the results and keep the records in order for you.
Retained competent-person support, audits, risk assessments and RAMS, COSHH assessments, written policies and help with SSIP schemes such as CHAS. We also arrange asbestos surveys, legionella risk assessments and training, so the paperwork and the practical checks stay in step.
Project management, quantity surveying, employer’s agent, building surveying, dilapidations and CDM support, including the Principal Designer role. We help clients plan building work properly, control cost, meet their legal duties and hand over a complete, usable record at the end.
Why one consultant
Most organisations that own or run buildings deal with several advisers: a fire risk assessor, a door inspector, a health and safety adviser, a surveyor for building work. Each produces a report, and nobody joins them up. Resilient Consult gives you one point of contact who scopes the work, arranges the right specialists, checks what comes back and tells you plainly what needs doing next.
Since the Building Safety Act 2022, that joined-up view matters more. Building work now has named dutyholders, and higher-risk residential buildings need a golden thread of accurate, digital safety information. Fire door checks are a legal routine in many blocks of flats, and a hole cut through a compartment wall during a refit can undo a fire strategy. When the same team looks after construction, health and safety and fire, those gaps are far easier to spot and close.
Fire safety and compliance
Assessments, surveys, remedial works and alarms, arranged and managed for you, with photographs and records for every stage.
Working with us
You speak to the same person from the first enquiry to the final report, whichever specialists are involved. No chasing three firms for one answer.
We do not stop at a list of defects. If a survey finds problems, we can arrange and manage the remedial work, then confirm it has been completed properly.
Specialist work is carried out by partners who hold the relevant qualifications and third-party certification for that work. You see their certificates rather than taking our word for it.
Findings are written so a facilities manager, bursar or board can act on them. Each issue comes with a clear priority and a sensible next step.
We work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cheshire, so site visits and follow-up meetings are practical rather than an expensive trip.
You receive a fixed proposal that sets out what is included and what is not. If something changes on site, we discuss it with you first.
How it works
Every job starts with a scope you can read and ends with paperwork you can keep. In between, you deal with one person.
What it is, where it is and what is worrying you. Drawings, old reports or a few photos help.
We set out what needs doing, who will do it and when, in writing, before anything starts.
We carry it out or arrange the right specialist, and manage it to the agreed scope.
Clear findings, prioritised actions and the evidence to show you met your duties.

Areas we cover
We are based in Wigan, between the M6 and the M61, and work for clients across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cheshire. Each town page covers the buildings and compliance questions we see there.
Portfolio or programme outside the region? Get in touch: larger jobs can be scoped further afield.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
