🌡️ Hot weather reminder: please don’t prop open fire doors.

We understand buildings can become uncomfortable during warmer days, but fire doors are there to save lives — not just meet regulations.

A fire door that’s wedged open cannot:
🚪 Stop smoke and flames from spreading
🚪 Protect escape routes
🚪 Compartmentalise a fire effectively

In the event of a fire, even a few minutes can make a critical difference.

If ventilation or airflow is an issue, consider approved hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm system rather than wedges or makeshift props.

Stay safe, stay compliant. Contact us if you need your fire doors inspecting or require a Fire Risk Assessment.

☀️🔥 BANK HOLIDAY MODE: ON 🔥☀️

The sun’s out, the BBQs are firing up, and the office group chat has officially gone quiet… 😎

But while you’re enjoying the long weekend, your fire doors should still be doing their job properly 👀🚪

A friendly reminder from your local fire safety team:
✔️ Fire doors aren’t for propping open
✔️ Fire risk assessments shouldn’t gather dust
✔️ Compliance is cooler when it’s up to date 😉

Happy Bank Holiday from all of us at Howard Fire Inspections Ltd ☀️🔥

🚨 TEST IT TUESDAY 🚨

When was the last time you tested your smoke alarm or had your fire doors inspected?

Protect what matters most by making smoke alarm testing part of your Tuesday routine.

It only takes a few seconds to press the test button on your smoke alarm, but it could make all the difference when it matters most. A working smoke alarm gives you and your family the early warning needed to get out safely in the event of a fire.

✅ Press the test button
✅ Listen for the alarm
✅ Make it a weekly habit

And don’t forget your wider fire safety responsibilities:

✅ Book your fire door inspection
✅ Book your fire risk assessment

Working smoke alarms and compliant fire doors save lives.

Your safety is our priority.

We’re feeling very appreciative this week after receiving another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google review!
Thank you so much for your continued support — it truly means the world to us as a small family-run business. 💛

"Hello I had the pleasure of dealing with Mr D.Howard recently. I won't say his first name just in case.

He was extremely knowledgeable and experienced, he gave me really great cost effective advice and support.

I had a tonne of questions and I'm disabled and have quite a few challenges, but Mr Howarf was very patient and communicated everything to me in a no-nonense not technical manner.

Plus I only learned today that it's a family business too. Which just makes it better, and I now better understand why it was such a polite and positive exchange.

I would thoroughly recommend this business, very professional and with a personal touch.

Thank you very much"

📚 **Back to school for Darren!** 🔥
For the next two days, Darren is on site completing a **Fire Risk Assessment** and **Fire Door Inspections**.

💡 **Fun fact:** before joining the fire safety world, Darren used to be a **science teacher** — so safe to say he knows his stuff when it comes to attention to detail and asking the right questions!

Keeping buildings safe, compliant, and a little more educated along the way 👨‍🏫➡️🔥

More great advice from HWFR 🔥🚪

Happy Friday everyone! How about a bit of weekend shopping with safety in mind?
Now’s a great time to test your smoke alarms—or replace them if needed. A small check can make a big difference.

Stay safe and enjoy the weekend 👏
