What is a waking watch in Winchester?

A waking watch is a temporary fire-watch arrangement for an occupied building. Trained fire wardens patrol to detect signs of fire early, raise the alarm and support residents' evacuation using the building's agreed procedures. Cover in Winchester can be 24/7 or overnight only, according to the building's needs.

When might a building in Winchester need a waking watch?

A waking watch may be needed where a building's fire-safety assessment identifies a need for temporary patrols while cladding remediation, fire alarm installation or upgrades, or building works are under way. Freeholders, managing agents, residents' management companies and landlords in Winchester can discuss the building's requirements with us.

How quickly can you start a waking watch in Winchester?

We can often arrange waking watch cover at short notice. Availability and the start date depend on the building, the cover required and the site briefing. Call 07539 041003 to discuss your Winchester building and confirm what can be arranged.
