Afternoon,

I am looking for someone to undertake a full compartmentation survey on a care home. It has been extended over the years and is currently subject to improvement notice from the fire service. It is a 48 bedroom home over 3 floors. It is based near Swindon Wiltshire.

If this is something you can help provide a quote for then please get in touch.

Fire extinguishers are only useful if they are ready to use when needed.

A simple monthly user check can help spot obvious issues before they become a problem. It does not replace annual servicing by a competent person, but it is an important part of good fire safety management.

Basic user checks should include:

✅ Is the extinguisher in the correct place?
✅ Is it visible and easy to access?
✅ Is the safety pin fitted and tamper seal intact?
✅ Is there any damage, corrosion or leakage?
✅ Is the hose or horn in good condition?
✅ Are the instructions clear and readable?
✅ Is the pressure gauge, where fitted, in the green zone?
✅ Does it appear full and unused?
✅ Is the service label present and in date?

These checks should be carried out monthly, after any use, and if an extinguisher has been moved, knocked or tampered with.

If you find a defect, report it and arrange for it to be checked.

At White Horse Fire Safety, we can help with fire safety checks, staff training and practical fire safety support for your business.

Fire detection is one of those things you hope you’ll never need — but when you do, it has to work.

Having the right fire detection in place gives early warning, protects people, and helps businesses meet their fire safety responsibilities.

But it’s not just about having alarms fitted. They also need to be tested, maintained, and recorded properly.

Regular checks can help identify faults early and give you confidence that your system will work when it matters most.

At White Horse Fire Safety, we provide practical fire safety advice and support to help businesses stay safe and compliant.

Can everyone safely evacuate your building in an emergency?

A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan, or PEEP, is there to make sure people who may need extra support can leave safely if there is a fire or other emergency.

This could include people with:

Limited mobility
Hearing or sight impairments
Temporary injuries
Medical conditions
Neurodiverse needs
Any other reason they may need assistance

If your workplace, premises, or managed property doesn’t have suitable PEEPs in place, we can help.

White Horse Fire Safety can support you with practical, clear and proportionate PEEP advice, helping you protect people and meet your fire safety responsibilities.

Get in touch if you need help reviewing or putting PEEPs in place.

Not sure whether your premises need a fire risk assessment?

In most cases, if you are responsible for a workplace, commercial premises, shared areas of flats, or other non-domestic premises, the answer is yes.

A fire risk assessment is not just about ticking a box. It helps identify hazards, protect the people who use the building, and make sure suitable fire safety measures are in place.

If you are a responsible person, landlord, employer, or managing agent, it is important to understand your duties and make sure your assessment is suitable and up to date.

If you are unsure what applies to your premises, feel free to get in touch.

A fire alarm is not just another box on the wall — it is a vital part of protecting life, property, and business continuity.

Having a suitable fire alarm system means having the right level of detection and warning for the type of premises, the people who use it, and the risks present. A system that is poorly designed, outdated, or not fit for purpose can lead to delayed warning, confusion during an evacuation, and increased risk to everyone in the building.

As part of any fire risk assessment, the fire alarm should be considered carefully. Is it appropriate for the layout? Does it provide adequate warning? Is it being tested, maintained, and understood by those who rely on it?

Early warning saves lives. It can also reduce fire spread, limit damage, and support a faster, safer evacuation.

Fire safety is not about having “something in place” — it is about having the right measures in place.
If you are unsure whether your current fire alarm system is suitable for your premises, it may be time to review it.

Fire safety isn’t just a tick-box — it’s about protecting people, keeping your business running, and staying on the right side of the law.

If you’re a Responsible Person, a current fire risk assessment (done properly) helps you stay compliant, reduce liability, and give your insurer less reason to question a claim if the worst happens.

If you’re not sure when yours was last reviewed (or what it actually covers), drop me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction.
