Fire safety for low rise homes

Safety is our top priority.

These measures are in place to keep you safe:

• Building safety checks
  We carry out weekly building safety checks. The aim of the check is to make sure that escape routes are always kept clear from rubbish and materials that would prevent residents from evacuating the building safely. Fire doors are kept locked and in good condition. Any issues are identified are logged and fixed quickly. Entry and exit doors are in good working order and outside escape routes are inspected.
• Fire risk assessments
  We carry out fire risk assessments to all open and enclosed blocks. If you would like a copy of the latest fire risk assessment please contact us.
• Fire alarms
  Your home is fitted with smoke and fire detectors. 
• Fire doors and fire compartmentation
  Fire doors are used in communal areas to slow the spread of fire (for about 30 minutes to 1 hour). Our flats are also built to slow the spread of fire from one flat to another (for about 30 minutes to 1 hour). Compartmentation contains and stops the spread fire and smoke from one area to another.
• Emergency lighting systems
  Some communal areas in the buildings are fitted with an emergency lighting system to help with evacuation.
• Building and systems maintenance
  All systems installed within your building are maintained and serviced to the relevant legislation. If you would like additional information on the maintenance, servicing, and inspection of your building please contact us for further details.
