Evacuation strategies and PEEPs
Reviewing your evacuation strategy and preparing personal emergency evacuation plans for people who need help to escape.
Fire Safety Consultancy
Practical advice when you need more than an assessment
Some fire safety questions need more than a report: a letter from the fire service, a resident who needs a personal evacuation plan, or a building about to be refurbished.
We give clear, independent advice on what is required and what is proportionate, and help you put it into practice.

How it works
More about our process From first call to written report
01
Tell us about the property
Share the location, building use and any existing concerns or reports. We agree what needs to be assessed before arranging a visit.
02
Visit and inspect
The visit looks at the premises and relevant fire safety measures. Access and any records needed are agreed with you in advance.
03
Put the findings in writing
The report records what was found, explains the concerns and sets out recommended actions in priority order.
04
Talk through the next steps
Discuss the findings and what they mean for your property, so you know which actions to take forward.
Can you help with an enforcement notice deadline?
Yes. Get in touch as early as you can, and we will help you understand what is required and prioritise the work.
What is a PEEP?
A personal emergency evacuation plan sets out how a specific person who would need help will get out of a building safely in a fire.
Do you write fire strategies for new buildings?
Our advice covers existing buildings, refurbishments and changes of use. For a full fire engineering strategy on a new building, we can point you to a suitable fire engineer.
