Student Accommodation

The Cotswold Fire Company is committed to providing our customers with a safe environment. We provide fire safety surveys and installation services for Universities, Colleges, PBSA's (Purpose Build Student Accommodations) and Schools in the area because we know that even small adjustments can make all the difference when it comes to safeguarding your students' lives.

Keeping students safe is the priority at Cotswold Fire. Whether we provide a survey or installation work, everything we do within university and colleges helps protect people studying there from fires.

The challenge

Working with students presents a number of varied and exciting challenges for the Cotswold Fire team, who are adept at ensuring solutions comply while being delivered on-time.

Working in and around people’s homes or places of study has its benefits, including the ability to offer our best service at a time that is convenient for you. We often take advantage of half-terms and summer breaks when not as many customers are using their services during these periods.

Fire defence is a common issue in PBSA. It's common to find poorly protected penetrations travelling between floors and across corridors where services enter above flat entrance doors on the ground level, leading into apartments or living quarters.

Passive fire challenges are an issue in PBSA, as it’s common for ill-protected penetrations traversing plant rooms through risers with no protection. These lead off of one floor onto another at great risk of catching alight before they can even be noticed by occupants nearby.

The importance of passive fire protection

The first time living away from home is often what many can only imagine the most exciting world. The excitement of independent study and independence in general begins to sink into those who experience this for the very first time, but it's important not forget about safety either! In order to provide our student population with safe accommodation at least as good as their homes, we make sure that a level of care accompanies them through any new challenges they might face along life's journey.

Cotswold Fire has a wealth of experience in the area and have helped providers to update and maintain PBSA buildings UK wide. They've supported universities with facilities as well private student accommodation services around England.
