Fire safety headlines

Regulatory expectations and enforcement stay in the news. Below are recent public headlines touching fire safety in the UK — refreshed each time you open this page, so you can situate your own duties in what others are discussing.

    Headlines are compiled from third-party RSS sources (including Google News and GOV.UK). Kene Fire Safety does not control or endorse external articles. Links open in a new tab.

    What we do

    Headlines aside, compliance is built in your building: here is how we turn the Fire Safety Order into a proportionate plan — fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, and advice that connects the two.

    Fire risk assessments

    Every proportionate programme starts here: a systematic review of your premises to identify fire hazards, people at risk, and existing measures — ending in a prioritised action plan to reduce risk so far as is reasonably practicable. We assess workplaces, retail, industrial and logistics, healthcare, education, hospitality, residential portfolios (including blocks and complex residential schemes), public buildings, heritage and change-of-use projects — in short, any premises where the Fire Safety Order applies.

    Fire door inspections

    Findings from your assessment often hinge on passive protection. These surveys give you a traceable record of fire-resisting doorsets and frames — checked against recognised guidance so maintenance and remediation stay aligned with the risk you documented. The same discipline applies whether you operate offices, shops, factories, warehouses, care or clinical settings, schools and colleges, hotels, flats and sheltered schemes, or mixed-use and converted buildings with varied occupancies.

    Practical next steps

    Assessments and door surveys only help if people know what to do next. We focus on what matters: proportionate recommendations, workable timescales, and plain-English clarity — whether you manage a single site or a diverse estate spanning offices, housing, industrial units, public or community buildings, and everything in between.

    • Follow-up questions welcome

    How we work

    We follow a structured methodology consistent with competent fire risk assessment practice: an agreed scope, an evidence-led physical survey, and a formal written outcome suitable for your fire safety management system, remedial programmes, and periodic review under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

    One consistent process for commercial, residential, and mixed-use premises — from instruction through survey to documented handover for responsible persons and duty holders.
    1. 1

      Instruction & scope

      We confirm the extent of work required — fire risk assessment, fire door inspection, or both — together with occupancy, relevant plans and history, and access arrangements. That ensures the survey is proportionate, achievable on site, and aligned with the duties the Fire Safety Order places on those in control of the premises.

    2. 2

      Physical survey

      We carry out a systematic inspection of the premises against the agreed scope, applying current statutory guidance and recognised good practice relevant to your building type. Observations are recorded so that risk, existing fire precautions, and passive measures (including fire-resisting doors where instructed) are assessed on the basis of what is actually installed and maintained, not assumption.

    3. 3

      Report & handover

      You receive a clear written report of findings and prioritised actions, with photographs where they support remediation or governance review. For fire risk assessments, significant findings and the action plan are presented so you can discharge your responsibilities, brief contractors, update your emergency arrangements, and evidence progress to insurers or enforcing authorities as required.
