Fire Safety

A hard-wired smoke detector that has a battery back-up is located within each property. There is also a hard-wired heat alarm that has a battery back-up fitted within the kitchen of each property.

You should regularly test the detectors by pressing the button on the device and also ensure that the batteries are changed regularly to allow for the detectors to work to their optimum. For your own safety, smoke detectors and heat alarms should not be removed from their fixtures or covered and also need to be well maintained.

There is a full sprinkler system installed into the whole building and within each property. The sprinkler system is designed to activate with the presence of high levels of heat from a fire. The heat from the blaze would then melt the sensor which in turn would activate the sprinkler, discharging water at a rate to contain the fire. Should there be a fire that is affecting the whole building, then the sprinkler system will activate throughout.

The information board located within the reception will provide you with information on where the emergency exits are, as well as the fire emergency procedure for the development. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with this information. For further information, please contact the Managing Agent, Centrick.

The lift is located on every floor of the development near the reception area.

Lift doors must not be wedged open or held for any period of time, as this can cause them to malfunction. Please take the appropriate precautions when transporting large and bulky items such as furniture within the lift, in order to prevent damage from being caused. In the event of a fire, please do not use the lift.

If you experience any issues within the lift, then please dial the emergency number using the internal lift alarm instructions or contact the Managing Agent, Centrick without delay. Any general maintenance issues with the lift should be reported to the Managing Agent, Centrick.
