When it comes to building safety, your fire escape is one of the most critical components of your property. Whether you own a residential block, commercial premises, or industrial site, your fire escape must remain safe, stable, and fully functional at all times.
At Env Contractors Ltd, we specialise in fire escape inspections and repairs across London and Sussex, helping property owners meet safety regulations and protect lives.
Why Fire Escape Inspections Are Essential
Fire escapes are exposed to the elements year-round — facing rain, frost, corrosion, and general wear and tear. Over time, this exposure can lead to:
Rust and corrosion weakening the metalwork
Loose bolts or cracked joints
Worn or slippery treads
Structural instability
Blocked or unsafe access points
Regular fire escape inspections identify these issues early before they become dangerous or costly. A neglected fire escape not only puts lives at risk but can also lead to non-compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires property owners to ensure safe means of escape at all times.
