Questions
About deficiency notices.
What is a fire deficiency notice?
After a fire inspection, the inspector lists what needs fixing and gives a date to fix it by. Common items are overdue extinguisher service, emergency lights that fail their test, blocked exits and propped fire doors.
What happens if I miss the date?
Usually a follow-up inspection, and possibly an order with fines if things still aren't fixed. Book early: the deadline is the date it has to be done, not the date to start.
Can you fix everything on my notice?
We fix portable extinguishers, emergency lights, exit signs and kitchen suppression service. Fire alarm and sprinkler items need those companies; the reader tells you which items are which so you can line everyone up at once.
Do I get proof it's fixed?
Yes. You get a signed report listing what we did, item by item, to show the inspector or your insurer.
