Fire Watch / Waking Watch
Our Waking Watch service is ideal for buildings that have been identified as high-risk due to cladding or other fire safety issues. We can provide a cost-effective and reliable alternative to installing temporary alarm systems, while ensuring the safety of your residents and complying with the latest guidance from the government and the NFCC.
Our waking watch officers are not only trained in fire detection and prevention, but also in customer service and communication skills. They will patrol your building 24/7, checking for any signs of fire or smoke, and alerting your residents in case of an emergency. They will also act as a point of contact for any fire safety queries or concerns that your residents may have, and liaise with the local fire and rescue service if needed.
We understand that every building is different, and we tailor our waking watch service to suit your specific needs and requirements. We will conduct a thorough risk assessment of your premises, and design a bespoke fire safety plan that covers all aspects of your waking watch, such as:
- The number and location of waking watch officers
- The frequency and duration of patrols
- The equipment and tools required
- The fire evacuation routes and procedures
- The record keeping and reporting system
We will also provide you with regular updates and feedback on our waking watch service, and make any adjustments or improvements as necessary. Our goal is to provide you with a professional, efficient and transparent service that gives you peace of mind and reassures your residents.
At Kings Guarding Solutions, we pride ourselves on our quality and standards. All our waking watch officers are fully trained, vetted and licensed by the SIA (Security Industry Authority). They are also equipped with uniforms, radios, torches, fire extinguishers and other essential items. We are accredited by various industry bodies, such as SafeContractor, CHAS, Constructionline and ISO, and we follow the best practices and codes of conduct of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA).
