[2nd Floor Fire Escape Route / System]

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

[2nd Floor Fire Escape Route / System]

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.
