Understanding Enforcement Action

What enforcement action
means for you.

Fire enforcement notices are issued by local Fire and Rescue Services when they believe the Fire Safety Order is not being complied with. The consequences of ignoring them are severe. Act immediately.

Improvement Notice

An improvement notice requires you to take specific action to comply with the Fire Safety Order within a stated timeframe. Timescales vary but are typically 28 days or more. You can appeal to a tribunal, but the notice remains in force during the appeal unless suspended by the tribunal.

Prohibition Notice

A prohibition notice can restrict or prohibit the use of all or part of your premises immediately if the inspector believes there is a risk to life from fire. This can mean your business premises are closed until compliance is demonstrated. This is the most serious form of enforcement action.

Prosecution

Failure to comply with an improvement or prohibition notice is a criminal offence under the Fire Safety Order. Penalties include unlimited fines and up to two years imprisonment. Do not ignore enforcement notices.

If you have received a notice

Email hello@firecertificates.co.uk now. The sooner an assessment is in place, the sooner you can demonstrate compliance to your Fire and Rescue Service.

Common Questions

Questions answered.

I have received a fire enforcement notice — what should I do?+
Contact FireCertificates immediately at hello@firecertificates.co.uk. Include your notice details, premises location and the deadline specified. We will arrange an emergency assessment with an assessor experienced in enforcement situations. Do not ignore the notice or delay.
What is the difference between an improvement notice and a prohibition notice?+
An improvement notice requires you to take specific action within a stated timeframe (typically 28 days or more). A prohibition notice can immediately restrict or close premises if the inspector believes there is a risk to life. Both require urgent action. A prohibition order is the most serious and immediate form of enforcement action.
Can I appeal a fire enforcement notice?+
Yes, you can appeal an improvement notice to a First-tier Tribunal. However, the notice remains in force during the appeal unless the tribunal suspends it. You cannot appeal a prohibition notice in the same way, although you can apply to the tribunal for it to be lifted. FireCertificates recommends arranging an assessment and beginning remedial works immediately rather than relying on an appeal.
How quickly can an emergency assessment be arranged?+
FireCertificates confirms an emergency assessor as quickly as possible for urgent enforcement situations. Contact us immediately with your deadline and we will do everything possible to accommodate your timeline.
