When a building has no clear way out in a fire

Without a documented procedure, occupants hesitate or head for blocked exits. A written plan removes that confusion by setting out exactly where people go and how they leave safely.

  1. 1

    No posted escape routes

    Corridors and stairwells lack directional signs or maps showing the nearest safe exit from each room.

  2. 2

    Unclear assembly point

    Nobody knows where to gather outside after leaving, so people drift or block access for emergency vehicles.

  3. 3

    Locked rear doors

    Secondary exits are bolted shut during working hours, leaving only one usable way out of the building.

Questions about getting a plan drawn up

These points come up regularly when arranging written procedures for a site.

Smaller or simpler sites

Mixed-use building contents
Shared stairs and separate alarm zones need documenting individually.
Single staircase buildings
A written procedure is still expected even with one shared exit.
Rear exits into private yards
Route agreements must be secured before the plan is finalised.
Updating after changes
Any layout alteration or new tenancy means the plan needs review.

Larger or mixed-use sites

Mixed-use building contents
Requires coordination between commercial and residential occupiers.
Single staircase buildings
May also require a PEEP plan Surrey specialists can advise on.
Rear exits into private yards
The specialist notes any access restrictions on the drawings.
Updating after changes
Frequency of fire drills should follow current guidance.

A specialist confirms the exact requirements once they have seen the premises.
