Waking Watch in Romford.
For freeholders and building managers in Romford, Essex, waking watch offers temporary fire patrols while longer-term improvements are under way. Our trained fire wardens support residential blocks, managed buildings and student or hostel accommodation with early fire detection, alarm raising and evacuation support.
For managed blocks in Romford, the patrol arrangements take account of communal corridors, entrances and the information residents need about raising the alarm and leaving the building. The arrangements are shaped around your Essex property's layout and the works taking place.
Cover can run 24/7 or overnight only, depending on the building's assessed needs. We work with landlords, residents' management companies, managing agents and freeholders while cladding remediation, fire alarm installation or upgrades, or building works are being completed.
