Common Fire Safety Failures Found During Inspections
Fire safety inspections are essential for identifying risks before they become hazards. Yet across the UK, many buildings are found to have avoidable issues that compromise safety and compliance.
The most frequent problems our engineers encounter include:
-
Missing or poorly applied fire stopping materials
-
Damaged or wedged-open fire doors
-
Inadequate emergency lighting and signage
-
Expired or incorrectly mounted extinguishers
-
Unmaintained fire detection systems
Each of these faults can reduce a building’s fire resistance, delay evacuation and invalidate insurance coverage.
