Who Needs This

Is This You?

If any of these sound familiar, we need to talk. The regulation applies now and the consequences of non-compliance are serious.

🏢
Building Managers
You've been handed responsibility for fire safety compliance in a residential block. You're not sure exactly what's required, who to ask, or whether what you have already is sufficient.
"I know I need to do something but I don't know where to start."
🏘️
Housing Associations & RSLs
You manage a portfolio of residential buildings across multiple sites. You need evacuation plans for each one, maintained and updated, with resident PEEPs tracked and reviewed regularly.
"We have 40 buildings and no consistent process for any of this."
🔥
Fire Safety Consultants
You're writing fire risk assessments and your clients need accurate evacuation plans to accompany them. You need a reliable survey partner who delivers to your standard and your deadlines.
"My client needs plans in 5 days and I need someone I can trust."

The Regulation

What Changed.
When. And Why
It Matters Now.

Nobody truly understands every detail of the regulations — including us. But we understand what your building needs to produce, and we help you produce it.

The Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) Regulations 2025 build on the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022. Together they require responsible persons for qualifying high-rise residential buildings to have documented evacuation plans in place — and to make them available to residents and the fire service.

May 2021
Fire Safety Act 2021
Extended the scope of the Regulatory Reform Order to include the structure and external walls of multi-occupied residential buildings.
April 2022
Fire Safety Regulations 2022
Required responsible persons to provide fire safety instruction to residents and update fire safety information regularly.
April 2023
Building Safety Act 2022 — In Force
Established the Building Safety Regulator and new duty holder responsibilities for higher-risk buildings.
April 2026 — Right Now
Evacuation Plans — Legal Requirement
The Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) Regulations 2025 came into force. Responsible persons for qualifying buildings must have documented GEEPs and PEEPs in place.
● You Are Here — Act Now
Ongoing
Review & Update Obligations
Plans must be kept up to date as the building changes. Resident PEEPs must be reviewed when circumstances change.
What is a PEEP?

A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan is an individual document for a resident who may not be able to self-evacuate in an emergency. It sets out how they will be assisted, by whom, and via which route.

PEEP — Personal
For an identified individual with a known mobility, sensory or cognitive impairment. Specific to that person and their flat.
GEEP — General
A building-wide general plan covering all residents — the baseline document for the whole building.
EPEEP — Estimated
Used when a specific resident hasn't engaged with the process — an estimated plan based on their flat location and building data.
Who Gets a PEEP?

Anyone Who
Might Need Help.

PEEPs aren't just for wheelchair users. Any resident who might need assistance evacuating in an emergency should have one.

🦽Mobility impairment
👁️Visual impairment
👂Hearing impairment
🧠Cognitive impairment
🏥Temporary injury
👴Frailty / age-related
🤰Pregnancy
👶Care of young children

We produce the survey data and the floor plan framework. PEEPs are then populated and managed digitally via our EvacPlan platform — so they stay current as residents and circumstances change.

Call 0330 174 2926
Does my building actually need evacuation plans?
If you manage a high-rise residential building (18m or over, or 7+ storeys) in England, yes — the regulations are already in force. Medium-rise buildings and other residential premises may also have requirements under the FSO 2005. If you're unsure, call us — we'll tell you honestly.
What's the difference between a PEEP and a GEEP?
A GEEP (General Emergency Evacuation Plan) covers the whole building — routes, exits, assembly points. A PEEP (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan) is specific to an individual resident who may need assistance evacuating. You need both. We produce both.
How long does the survey take?
Typically a few hours for a standard residential block — we'll give you an accurate estimate once we know your building. We work efficiently to minimise disruption. Plans are delivered within 48 hours of the survey date.
We already have some floor plans — can you use them?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If your existing plans are accurate and to scale, we can work from them and save survey time. If they're rough or outdated, a fresh survey is faster and safer. We'll assess your existing plans and advise honestly.
What happens if my building changes?
Plans need to stay current. Minor changes (new residents, layout adjustments) can be updated digitally via EvacPlan. Significant structural changes may require a re-survey. We'll advise on what triggers a review.
We manage a portfolio of buildings — can you do them all?
Yes — and portfolio clients get a consistent approach, consistent document format and consistent pricing across all sites. We work with housing associations and property managers who need the same standard across dozens of buildings. Get in touch to discuss a portfolio package.
