Fire Safety Remedial Action Reviews — Post-Works Verification and Sign-Off in Glasgow and Across Scotland

Fire Safety Remedial Action Reviews provide independent verification that the passive fire protection defects previously identified have been reinstated as per the manufacturer's guidelines.  Our specialist surveyors access completed works to confirm compliance with the manufacturer's guidelines and Scottish Fire Safety Legislations.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What Are Fire Safety Remedial Action Reviews?

A Fire Safety Remedial Action Review is a formal inspection carried out after remedial fire safety works have been completed.


These reviews confirm whether actions identified within fire risk assessments, compartmentation surveys, fire door inspections or enforcement notices have been implemented correctly and in line with recognised guidance.


The review does not replace the original survey. Instead, it provides documented assurance that the required corrective works now meet expected fire safety standards.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

Why Remedial Action Reviews Matter

Remedial works alone do not guarantee compliance. Incorrect installation, unsuitable materials or incomplete repairs can leave buildings exposed despite apparent improvements.


For Responsible Persons, this creates uncertainty.


A Fire Safety Remedial Action Review provides:

  • Independent confirmation that works were completed correctly

  • Evidence of active compliance management

  • Assurance for insurers, landlords and managing agents

  • Reduced risk of enforcement action

  • Confidence that life safety measures will perform as intended


Without verification, remedial works may fail inspection or be challenged during audits.

COMPLIANCE

Associated Fire Safety Legislation and Standards

Fire Safety Remedial Action Reviews support compliance with:


  • Fire (Scotland) Act 2005

  • Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006

  • Scottish Fire Safety Guidance for Non-Domestic Premises

  • BS 9999 – Code of practice for fire safety design

  • BS 8214 – Fire door assemblies

  • ASFP Technical Guidance Documents (where applicable)


Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may request evidence that identified defects have been adequately addressed.

THE RISKS OF INACTION

What Happens Without Verification

If remedial works are not independently reviewed:


  • Defects may remain unresolved or incorrectly repaired

  • Fire protection systems may not perform during an incident

  • Enforcement authorities may reject completed works

  • Insurance cover may be compromised

  • Duty-holders may remain legally liable

  • Further costs may arise from rework or repeat inspections


In the event of an incident, lack of verification can be viewed as a failure to manage fire safety duties
