Fire evacuation plans for Hertfordshire buildings
Watford and Hemel Hempstead have absorbed a large volume of office-to-residential permitted development, much of it with no surviving fire strategy, while St Albans and Hertford add listed and conservation-area conversions.
A clear evacuation strategy your occupants can follow and your staff can rehearse, with the personal plans, resident notices, signage guidance and drill routine that turn a document into something that actually works on the night.
Strategy that suits the building
Simultaneous, phased or stay put, with the reasoning recorded rather than assumed.
PEEPs for those who need them
Person-centred plans where a resident or member of staff cannot evacuate unaided.
Notices and signage
Print-ready resident and staff action notices, plus a signage schedule keyed to the layout.
Drills you can evidence
Scenarios, frequency and a recording template so your team can run and prove drills themselves.

Fire safety enforcement in Hertfordshire
Enforcement of the Fire Safety Order here sits with Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which audits premises and communal areas and can issue informal notification letters, enforcement notices or, in serious cases, prohibition notices restricting use of the building.
District and borough councils across the county hold parallel powers over residential hazards under the Housing Act 2004, and licence HMOs locally. If you have received correspondence from either, send it to us with your quote request and we will work to the deadline in it.
Information for guidance only. We are not affiliated with Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service or your district council.

Enforcement work is prioritised. Tell us the deadline when you get in touch and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can meet it before you commit to anything.

Fire evacuation plan questions in Hertfordshire
How much is an evacuation plan in Hertfordshire?
From £225 for a single premises or small block, and from £450 for a block with PEEPs up to 30 flats. There is no travel charge in Hertfordshire.
Do I need PEEPs for a block in Hertfordshire?
Where a resident cannot evacuate unaided, a person-centred plan is expected. We advise on what is reasonable and proportionate for your building and how to keep it current.
Is a stay put strategy still acceptable?
It depends entirely on the building, because stay put relies on compartmentation performing as designed. If the assessment casts doubt on that, the strategy has to be revisited and we will say so plainly.
