Sorry, I missed an important point. For the vertical escape, we can't have a permanent staircase. It needs to be of a folding/sliding type. This is due to the fact we don't own the land the stairs emerge on to

Hello I have a refurbishment project involving the conversion of the 1st and 2nd stories of a 3 storey building to apartments. For the 2nd floor apartments we have to provide a fire escape route horizontally across a stepped flat roof then vertically down a flank wall. We own the flat roof, and there are no opening in the flank wall. We will need to provide fire-resisting construction as well as edge protection to the flat roof. Could anyone please point me in the direction of a specialist/supplier/manufacturer that could assist in the design and supply of the system, especially the vertical escape? The project is based in Cornwall. Thank you for any contributions.
