Social Housing Fire Safety
Fire Safety Specialists
In social housing, fire safety is about protecting communities — ensuring that every resident has a safe home they can trust. At Exit Fire Safety, we work with housing associations, local authorities, and property management companies across the UK to deliver robust, compliant fire safety solutions.
Our services include fire risk assessments, compartmentation surveys, fire door inspections, and ongoing compliance support designed to meet the unique challenges of multi-occupancy buildings and residential portfolios.
SUPPORTING RESPONSIBLE HOUSING PROVIDERS
With evolving legislation and heightened public scrutiny, maintaining fire safety across social housing stock is more important than ever.
Our qualified fire engineers and assessors bring together fire service experience, technical knowledge, and a deep understanding of the Fire Safety Act 2021, Building Safety Act 2022, and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
We help Responsible Persons and Accountable Persons ensure compliance, reduce risk, and protect lives — with practical, evidence-based solutions that stand up to regulatory inspection.
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
Every residential building must have a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment under UK law.
Our team carries out thorough assessments tailored to general needs, supported, and high-rise accommodation. We identify hazards, evaluate risks, and provide clear, prioritised recommendations to support compliance and long-term safety planning.
Our assessments cover:
- Building layout and occupancy profiles
- Fire detection, alarm, and suppression systems
- Escape routes, signage, and emergency lighting
- Fire doors and compartmentation
- Evacuation procedures and resident safety management
- Review of maintenance and record-keeping
All reports are concise, visual, and aligned with the latest legislation and guidance from the Home Office, NFCC, and BS 9991.
COMPARTMENTATION SURVEYS
Compartmentation plays a vital role in limiting fire and smoke spread between flats, corridors, and service risers — a key factor in resident life safety.
Our compartmentation surveys inspect fire-resisting walls, ceilings, floors, and service penetrations to verify that fire separation is effective and compliant.
FIRE DOOR SURVEYS
Fire doors are critical for protecting escape routes and containing fire and smoke in shared residential buildings.
Our trained inspectors conduct detailed fire door surveys to BM Trada and BS 8214 standards, assessing each door’s condition, operation, and compliance.
We deliver:
- Door-by-door inspection reports with photographic evidence
- Compliance grading and risk-based repair advice
- Support for large-scale door audit programmes
