What are my responsibilities for fire safety?

You play an important part in keeping your apartment & the wider building safe from fire.

Your main responsibilities

• Read & follow your development’s fire safety instructions.
• Keep your apartment’s entrance, corridors & all escape routes clear.
• Do not prop open fire doors or damage door closers.
• Never cover, remove or disable smoke or heat detectors.
• Follow the supplied instructions for checking domestic alarms.
• Report faulty fire safety equipment immediately.
• Use electrical appliances & charging equipment safely, including e-bike or scooter batteries.
• Follow the rules for smoking, balconies, cooking & barbecues.

Our developments have shared facilities, but only use open-flame equipment where explicitly provided & permitted. For example, having a designated BBQ at Westferry Wharf does not authorise personal barbecues on balconies.

We arrange inspections & maintenance of safety systems for which we are responsible. Do not attempt electrical or fire safety repairs yourself.

If you notice an immediate fire danger, move to safety & call emergency services. Report other concerns through your building contact details.
