Commercial fire protection across Gloucestershire

Cheltenham’s commercial stock is largely office space, much of it in Regency-era buildings now used by technology, financial and public-sector employers. Stroud carries the legacy of its mill-building industry in its commercial premises, Cirencester has a historic core of independent shops and offices built on Roman foundations, and the wider Cotswolds towns, Tetbury, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, Northleach and Chipping Campden, are largely small-scale commercial centres in stone-built, often listed premises. Tewkesbury combines a historic centre with modern trading estates near the M5, and the Forest of Dean has a more rural, dispersed commercial base around Cinderford, Coleford and Lydney.

Most work starts with a fire risk assessment, followed by the relevant combination of fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting and fire doors. Where a building’s compartmentation has been compromised by later alterations, our fire stopping and passive fire protection work addresses that, and we cover commercial intruder alarms for clients who want fire and security handled by one contractor.

Cirencester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds towns all carry a genuine concentration of historic and listed commercial premises, where a standard installation isn’t the right approach. Our heritage and listed building fire safety page covers how we work with buildings like these. Rural and converted premises in the Forest of Dean and around the county’s smaller towns bring a different consideration: buildings that were never purpose-built as commercial space, and where fire safety history may need establishing from scratch.

If you manage a premises anywhere in Gloucestershire, get in touch with a few details about the building and location, and we’ll set out the right next step. See our locations page for the full list of areas we cover.
