The communal areas of residential blocks (stairwells, corridors, lobbies, plant rooms, and escape routes) need regular attention between formal assessments. Small issues such as a wedged fire door, combustible storage, or a fault on a panel can quietly undermine the safety of the whole building.
Everstone Fire & Security carries out routine block fire-safety checks across the North East, covering escape routes, combustible storage, wedged doors, visible damage, signage, panel faults, smoke vents, and general housekeeping. These are routine management checks to keep on top of day-to-day fire safety. They are not a fire risk assessment or a specialist fire-door survey, and we will always tell you when one of those is the right next step.
Each visit produces a clear written report with prioritised actions, giving block managers, freeholders, and housing associations an ongoing record that day-to-day fire safety is being actively managed.

Beyond the report
If anything needs fixing, we can manage that too
Where your report identifies repairs, upgrades, or remedial works, you don't have to source contractors yourself. As part of the Everstone group, we work with a network of trusted third-party contractors and manage works across our portfolios every day. We'll arrange the right trade, oversee the job, and keep you updated, end to end.

Is this the same as a fire risk assessment?
No. These are routine management checks of communal areas. They are not a fire risk assessment or a specialist fire-door survey. We will tell you when a full assessment or survey is the right next step.
What is covered on each visit?
Escape routes, combustible storage, wedged doors, visible damage, signage, panel faults, smoke vents, and general housekeeping, all recorded in a written report.
How often should routine checks happen?
Frequency depends on the building and its use. We can recommend a schedule that keeps communal areas actively managed between formal assessments.
