Specialist Waking Watch Services in London
Following the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy, the need for reliable fire safety measures and robust building safety compliance became a national priority, particularly for high-rise residential buildings. Our London Waking Watch services provide continuous fire risk monitoring, fire patrols, and fire detection support to keep your buildings safe.
Every fire safety strategy we implement aligns with the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) and NFCC Waking Watch guidance, ensuring that fire emergency policies and evacuation strategies are carried out effectively. We assist building owners, property managers, and building management teams in meeting their obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022, the Building Safety Bill, and UK fire safety regulations.
Our trained firefighters and dedicated Waking Watch fire wardens patrol all floors 24/7, providing reassurance to landlords and tenants. In the event of a fire, they are ready to alert residents, contact emergency services, and manage safe evacuation procedures. This level of protection is particularly crucial for high-risk buildings, which often require specialist Waking Watch services to maintain fire safety readiness and prevent fire hazards from escalating.
