When does a building need reassessing?
An assessment done years ago may no longer reflect how a building is used. Occupancy changes, refurbishments and updated regulations all affect fire safety. If the last review predates recent alterations, the original conclusions might not hold.
- 1
Layout has changed
New walls, removed partitions or converted rooms alter escape routes. The old plan no longer matches the building you walk through today.
- 2
Staff numbers have grown
More people in a care home or school means higher demand on exits. An older assessment may not account for current occupancy levels.
- 3
Council letter received
A notice from the council or fire service usually requires a current assessment. Older paperwork rarely satisfies enforcement requests.
- 4
No record of past checks
If you cannot find the last report, there is nothing to review. A fresh assessment establishes a baseline and creates the necessary records.
What you receive after the visit
The specialist produces a written record based on what they observed at the premises. This document sets out findings, identifies hazards and lists the steps needed to manage them.
