Fire Safety Works Decant in London

Fire safety remediation including compartmentation, fire door replacement and sprinkler installation may require residents to be temporarily relocated.

As the UK's largest city, London handles a significant volume of residential insurance incidents. From high-rise evacuations in the City to terraced house fires in the suburbs, temporary accommodation demand is consistently high across all London boroughs.
