Fire Marshal Services
Fully trained fire marshals across London and the UK — providing fire safety supervision, evacuation support and workplace compliance.
Fire Marshal, Fire Warden & Waking Watch Services
Protecting People and Premises From Fire Risk
Our fire marshal, fire warden and waking watch services provide professional fire safety monitoring for residential, commercial and construction sites across London and the UK. This essential cover is designed to prevent fire risks, protect lives and support compliance with UK fire safety regulations.
We supply fully trained officers who remain alert throughout every shift, conducting regular patrols and responding immediately to any sign of fire or emergency.
Fire marshal cover is often combined with construction site security or manned guarding services, so a single team covers both site safety and site security.
What Is Fire Marshal, Fire Warden & Waking Watch Cover?
A fire marshal or fire warden is responsible for fire prevention, routine fire safety checks and managing a safe evacuation if a fire is detected.
Waking watch is a 24-hour fire watch service, commonly used in high-rise and residential buildings, where officers stay awake throughout the night to detect early signs of fire and raise the alarm without delay. This cover is often needed when:
- Fire alarm systems are faulty or under repair.
- Buildings have an increased fire risk.
- Temporary fire safety measures are needed.
Our Fire Marshal & Waking Watch Services Include
A complete fire safety cover built around your building's layout, occupancy and risk profile.
24/7 Fire Watch & Patrols
Continuous internal and external patrols identify fire hazards, monitor high-risk areas, and ensure escape routes remain clear at all times.
Early Fire Detection & Prevention
Officers actively look for smoke, heat, unusual smells and unsafe conditions, stopping incidents before they have a chance to escalate.
Immediate Emergency Response
If a fire risk is identified, our team raises the alarm, contacts the emergency services, and follows your site-specific fire emergency procedures.
Evacuation Management & Support
Our fire wardens guide occupants calmly and safely to designated assembly points, reducing panic and confusion during an evacuation.
Cover During Fire Alarm Failure
Waking watch is provided whenever a fire alarm system is temporarily disabled, offering constant monitoring and reassurance to residents and occupants.
Fire Safety Reporting & Compliance Logs
All patrols, observations and incidents are logged clearly to support fire safety audits, insurance requirements and regulatory compliance.
Where Our Fire Marshal & Waking Watch Services Are Used
- High-rise residential blocks.
- Blocks of flats and housing developments.
- Construction and refurbishment sites.
- Hotels and student accommodation.
- Commercial offices and retail premises.
- Buildings with defective or non-operational fire alarm systems.
Fire Risk Assessments and Legal Compliance
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, most non-domestic premises in England and Wales must have an up-to-date fire risk assessment and appropriate fire safety measures in place. Our officers support this duty in practice, checking that fire extinguishers, alarms, detectors, emergency lighting and signage are present, in date and working correctly during every visit.
Any fault, blocked escape route, overloaded socket or other hazard is reported and logged straight away, giving you documented evidence of ongoing compliance rather than a single point-in-time assessment.
Fire Safety Duties Our Officers Carry Out
- Check escape routes and fire exits remain clear and unobstructed.
- Inspect fire extinguishers, alarms and emergency lighting.
- Identify and report hazards such as blocked exits or flammable storage.
- Lead evacuation drills and brief staff or residents beforehand.
- Liaise with the emergency services if an incident occurs.
- Maintain compliance documentation and incident logs.

Combining Fire Marshals With Site Security
Fire safety and site security often go hand in hand, particularly on construction sites and in occupied buildings. Our fire marshals can work alongside your existing security team, or officers can be dual-trained to cover both fire safety duties and general site security under a single contract.
For residential blocks or commercial premises that also need a visible security presence out of hours, fire marshal cover can be paired with our manned guarding services or mobile patrol security.
