Fire Safety Isn’t Just Alarms and Extinguishers — It’s Everything Behind the Walls


If you’re responsible for a building, you already know fire safety matters. But here’s the truth: installing alarms and extinguishers isn’t enough. Yes, fire alarms and extinguishers are a must, but they are only part of a system that makes your building legally compliant. And, like any system, it needs ongoing inspections and maintenance to work when it counts.

A Fire Strategy Is Not Optional

Under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every building must have a compliant, maintained fire strategy. It’s not just paperwork. It’s a system that protects people and property, and it must be kept up to date. That means:

  • Annual fire risk assessments
  • 6-monthly fire door inspections
  • Planned servicing of alarms, emergency lighting, and extinguishers
  • Compartmentation checks and passive fire protection maintenance
  • Up-to-date Fire Emergency Evacuation Plans (FEEPs)

Fire protection isn’t just about what you see, it’s often about what you don’t. Hidden issues like breached fire compartment walls, poorly sealed service penetrations, incorrect door gaps, or faulty intumescent strips, can make all the difference in a fire.

Buildings Change – So Should Your Fire Protection

Think your building hasn’t changed? If you’ve added or altered partition, changed a room’s use, installed air-conditioning or other services, then your fire strategy might no longer be valid. These changes can compromise your fire safety without you even knowing.

As well as routine inspections, it’s vitally important when planning changes to the fabric of your building that your fire strategy considered as part of the process.
