Get a waking watch quote Fire safety

Trained waking watch cover that keeps residents safe while longer-term fire safety works are completed.

Where temporary fire safety measures are required, Nexo9 provides trained waking watch fire marshals to monitor the building, patrol key areas, check escape routes and support evacuation procedures, liaising with emergency services when needed.

Assignment instructions are agreed for every building before deployment, patrols run at agreed intervals day and night, and cover is reviewed as building safety measures change.
