Fire Staircase Inspections
Fire escape staircases are critical life-safety features that require regular professional inspection to remain fit for purpose. We provide comprehensive fire staircase inspections using methodical assessment and extensive building-safety expertise to identify defects, confirm compliance and protect building occupants.
Techniques
Our comprehensive inspection
Our systematic inspections cover every critical element of the escape route:
- Structural integrity assessment of load capacity and stability
- Corrosion evaluation of rust and material degradation
- Connection-point testing of bolts, welds and fixings
- Handrail and balustrade safety, height and gap compliance
- Tread condition analysis for anti-slip and wear
- Access and egress checks for clear width and obstructions
- Lighting and signage audit for emergency provision
Why it matters
Why regular inspections matter
Fire staircases face constant exposure to weather and use, which leads to:
- Corrosion weakening structural members
- Loose or failed fixings
- Worn or slippery tread surfaces
- Damaged protective coatings
- Blocked or restricted access routes
- Non-compliant modifications
