Fire Safety Enforcement Notice Support and Consultancy
Specialist, time-critical support to help you meet enforcement notice requirements and restore full legal compliance
If your building has received an enforcement, alteration or prohibition notice from the Fire and Rescue Service, timely and competent action is essential.
Enforcement notices typically follow serious deficiencies identified during inspections by the Fire and Rescue Service, including inadequate fire doors, poor compartmentation, missing alarms, lack of maintenance or insufficient fire risk assessment content.
These notices legally require you to address specific fire safety issues, and failure to comply can lead to prosecution, closure of parts of the building or significant financial penalties.
What happens if you do not act:
Inaction can result in prosecution, restriction of building use, higher insurance premiums or even complete closure of premises. IPC ensures you respond correctly, promptly and with full documentation.
IPC provides specialist enforcement notice consultancy to help Responsible Persons understand the notice, prioritise remedial work and take the correct steps to bring the building back into compliance.
We provide:
- Detailed review of the enforcement notice
- Clear explanation of the issues raised and required actions
- Prioritised action planning
- Specification of necessary works
- Contractor sourcing and coordination
- Project management until all items are resolved
- Evidence and documentation for the Fire and Rescue Service
