Enforcement Notices
Have you received an Enforcement or Prohibition Notice from the Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service? Immediate action is essential. Contact our team directly for expert guidance through the compliance process.
Our enforcement response specialists recognise the critical nature and technical requirements of addressing formal fire safety enforcement actions. With enhanced enforcement capabilities under the Fire Safety Act 2021, expert consultation is crucial for achieving compliance and preventing additional penalties.
Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs)
Adequate provisions must be established to ensure disabled individuals can safely access and evacuate your premises. We collaborate with you to develop detailed Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs), ensuring all staff and visitors have appropriate evacuation procedures.
Our PEEP development considers individual requirements, support availability, and emergency routes to establish customised evacuation protocols. We guarantee adherence to the Equality Act 2010 and applicable fire safety regulations, delivering comprehensive documentation and personnel training for successful implementation.
Planning & Building Design Consultation
We partner directly with clients and their architectural teams to ensure design proposals meet compliance standards for Building Control submission. Through proactive planning, we establish streamlined, cost-effective processes that optimise time and resource allocation.
Our design consultation encompasses fire safety planning, fire compartmentation specifications, and more. We coordinate with architects, developers, and regulatory authorities to ensure developments satisfy Approved Document B and contemporary fire safety requirements.
Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service Enforcement Register
The Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service maintains responsibility for fire safety enforcement across the county under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Data shows that Hertfordshire ranked in the bottom three regions for enforcement notices issued between May 2023 and April 2025, indicating relatively low formal enforcement activity during this period. However, this highlights the importance of proactive compliance, as property owners and businesses remain legally obligated to maintain fire safety standards.
Enforcement Notices are submitted to the NFCC National Enforcement Register. Entries on the Public Register remain public for at least three years from the date the Enforcement Notice’s issue date. If you launch a successful appeal, you may be able to avoid inclusion on the register.

FAQs
If your building contains individuals who require additional assistance to evacuate the premises in the event of an emergency, you are required to have a PEEP.
The government updated PEEP regulations on 4 July 2025, and the changes come into effect on 6 April 2026. New PEEP legislation impacts all buildings containing two or more sets of domestic premises and which are either (a) at least 18 metres tall or have at least seven stories or (b) are more than 11 metres tall and have simultaneous evacuation strategies. The new legislation requires:
- The Responsible Person (RP) is to identify any building residents who need a PEEP.
- A personal Fire Risk Assessment for each resident who requires a PEEP. This should involve a conversation between the RP and the resident to determine individual evacuation needs.
- A statement outlining what the resident should do in the case of an emergency evacuation.
- The RP must provide information to the relevant Fire and Rescue Authority to inform them of any operational response requirements for the individual requiring a PEEP.
- Ongoing reviews of personal Fire Risk Assessments and evacuation statements to ensure they’re still suitable.
If you receive an Enforcement Notice, it’s critical to act quickly to avoid inclusion on the Enforcement Register (along with other penalties). You have the following three options when you receive an Enforcement Notice:
- Make the changes requested in the Enforcement Notice
- Appeal the Enforcement Notice
- Contact a professional, such as Florian Fire Safety, for assistance with the Enforcement Notice
You have 21 days to appeal a fire-related Enforcement Notice. You must appeal to your local magistrates’ court. Contact Florian Fire Safety if you need help with an Enforcement Notice appeal.
