Lewes's buildings and what they mean for fire safety

Historic buildings in the county town

Lewes has an exceptional number of listed buildings, from timber-framed medieval houses to Georgian town houses, many hidden behind later fronts. These buildings can have hidden voids, connected roof spaces and winding staircases that let fire and smoke spread in unexpected ways.

Shops and offices on the High Street and Cliffe

The High Street and Cliffe High Street are lined with independent shops, professional offices and galleries, often with flats or storage above and narrow twittens behind. We assess how people escape and how fire could spread between buildings.

Flats above shops and converted houses

Many older buildings have been split into flats over the years. We check that the shared stairs and hallways are properly protected and that residents know what to do in a fire.

Holiday lets for visitors

With the South Downs and nearby events drawing visitors all year, holiday cottages and flats let to guests need a written fire risk assessment.
