Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the designated responsible person – typically the property owner, landlord, facilities manager, or employer – must ensure all fire safety systems are appropriately maintained and tested at regular intervals, so they perform as intended in the event of a fire. Beyond active fire protection, such as fire alarms and detection devices, this duty accounts for passive fire measures including fire doors, fire dampers, compartment walls and floors, plus firestopping and service penetrations. With more than three decades of experience working in live, occupied environments, we help clients evaluate these essential components with minimal noise, dust, and disruption throughout, before reporting on risk-rated recommendations to guide informed and cost-effective remedial decisions.
