Bringing existing buildings up to current fire safety standards.
Many existing buildings were constructed under older regulations and may not meet current fire safety standards. A retrospective fire strategy assesses your building's fire safety provisions and identifies what needs to change to achieve compliance with today's requirements.
PB Fire Safety provides retrospective fire strategy reviews for building owners, managing agents and local authorities who need to understand and improve the fire safety of existing buildings.
Comprehensive review of your building's fire safety provisions against current Building Regulations and British Standards.
Clear identification of gaps between existing provisions and current standards, with prioritised recommendations for improvement.
Assessment of fire compartmentation including walls, floors, service penetrations and fire stopping.
Review of existing escape routes, travel distances, signage and emergency lighting against current requirements.
Detailed specifications for remediation works, supporting procurement and contractor management.
We understand the challenges of applying current standards to older buildings and finding practical, proportionate solutions.
Not every building needs the same level of intervention. We recommend what's necessary and proportionate to the risk.
Beyond the report, we support you through the remediation process with specifications, tender support and project oversight.
Our strategies consider the requirements of the Building Safety Act 2022 and the Higher-Risk Buildings regime.
