For historic buildings there is a need to seek solutions to building regulation and fire safety requirements which ensure the health and safety of people without adversely affecting the unique character of the building. In such cases we take into account a range of fire safety features and set these against an assessment of risk, seeking the most simple, appropriate and sympathetic option.

We cover all aspects of disaster avoidance, using the five steps of emergency planning - anticipation, prevention, protection, response and recovery. We can undertake the writing of salvage plans, training, liaising with local fire service and your own conservators, or we have access to expert conservation colleagues.

Fire safety in churches and cathedrals are frequently the least understood by professionals who try and apply modern codes of practice to buildings designed and built centuries ago. We apply pragmatic advice ensuring the building, congregation and visitors are safe, whilst maintaining the historic fabric of these very special buildings.
