Retrospective Fire Strategies
Fire strategy reviews and documentation developed for existing buildings where original fire strategies are unavailable or incomplete.
Why do I need a Retrospective Fire Strategy?
If your building doesn’t have an original fire strategy, or the existing one is outdated, you may lack a clear understanding of how fire safety measures work together. A retrospective fire strategy provides a structured review of the building and outlines how it should perform in the event of a fire.
When is a Residential PEEPs Service suitable?
✓ The original fire strategy is missing or unavailable
✓ The building has been altered since construction (e.g. layout changes, refurbishments)
✓ Fire safety information is incomplete or inconsistent
✓ You need clarity on how fire safety systems align across the building
✓ You are preparing for external review, audit, or assessment
✓ There are concerns around compartmentation or means of escape

How Retrospective Fire Strategies Support Compliance
A retrospective fire strategy helps demonstrate that your building has been assessed in line with current fire safety expectations. It provides a structured overview of fire safety measures, supporting compliance with legislation such as the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety regulations, and helps ensure a consistent approach to managing fire risk.
