WHEN AN EXISTING ESCAPE ROUTE NO LONGER MEETS REQUIREMENTS
Fire escapes rarely become a priority until something forces the issue. A fire risk assessment identifies a deficiency, a change of use introduces the need for a second means of escape, an insurer raises a query at renewal, or an ageing external staircase begins to show corrosion at its fixings and stringers. Older structures were frequently installed to standards since superseded, and remedial work is seldom as straightforward as replacing like for like.
BESPOKE FIRE ESCAPE FABRICATION FOR CONSTRAINED ELEVATIONS
D J Hill Engineering Services Ltd approaches every escape stair as a bespoke structure rather than a catalogue item. Enclosed courtyards, restricted vehicle access, listed elevations, and irregular door openings all influence how a staircase must be configured, and dimensions are taken on site rather than assumed from existing records.
​
Specification also depends on the environment and the expected service life. Galvanised mild steel remains a dependable choice for most installations, while stainless steel fabrication is frequently specified where appearance matters or where coastal exposure would otherwise accelerate deterioration.
STRUCTURES THAT REMAIN COMPLIANT AND SERVICEABLE
A correctly specified escape stair satisfies the inspecting authority and withstands sustained weathering. The objective is a structure that performs quietly for decades rather than one that returns as a maintenance liability.
