Fire safety in Slough

Slough has one of the most varied building stocks in the Thames Valley. The town centre has seen a wave of new apartment buildings and office-to-residential conversions, alongside older blocks of flats, HMOs and mixed-use buildings with shops below homes. To the west, the Slough Trading Estate is one of the largest business parks in Europe, with warehouses, offices, laboratories and data centres.

Fire safety in Slough is enforced by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which carries out audits under the Fire Safety Order, while Slough Borough Council deals with housing standards, including fire safety in HMOs and rented homes.

What Slough clients ask us for

  • Fire risk assessments for blocks of flats, HMOs, offices, shops and industrial units
  • Fire door inspections for residential buildings over 11 metres, including the quarterly and annual checks required by the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
  • Compartmentation surveys – particularly in converted office buildings, where service risers and ceiling voids were not originally designed for flats
  • Retrospective fire strategies where conversions or alterations have left no reliable strategy on file
  • FRAEWs and EWS1 forms for newer blocks with cladding, balconies or rainscreen systems

Office-to-residential conversions

Converted office buildings can be well built, but the fire safety design of the original office doesn't automatically suit flats. Escape routes, compartmentation between flats, smoke control in common corridors and alarm systems all need checking against how the building is now used. If you manage a converted building in Slough and don't have a fire strategy that reflects the conversion, a retrospective fire strategy and a compartmentation survey are often the right starting point.

Commercial and industrial premises

For employers and landlords on the trading estate and in the town centre, we arrange fire risk assessments that reflect the real use of the space – storage, processes, occupancy and shift patterns – with practical, prioritised actions.

FAQs

Fire safety questions in Slough

Who enforces fire safety law in Slough?

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Fire Safety Order for non-domestic premises and the common parts of blocks of flats. Slough Borough Council deals with housing standards, including HMOs.

Do you carry out fire risk assessments on the Slough Trading Estate?

Yes – for offices, warehouses, workshops and other commercial units, as well as residential buildings across the town.

Our building was converted from offices – what should we check?

Make sure there's a fire strategy that reflects the residential use, and that compartmentation between flats and around risers is intact. A compartmentation survey and a retrospective fire strategy are common next steps.
