Stay safe

Your safety is of utmost importance to us. That’s why we have a security team onsite 24/7. You can contact them at any time with any concerns and they are always happy to help.

The property is also only accessible with a key fob so you don’t have to worry about nasty intruders.

FIRE ALARMS AND EVACUATION

Please be aware that the fire alarms are tested at all of the CODE blocks every Wednesday after midday. There is no need to evacuate the building, however, should the alarm continue to sound for more than approximately 2 minutes please assume that a real fire alarm is in progress and evacuate according to your own policy.

Tampering of any fire safety equipment or false call outs will incur a charge.

  • Replacement or misuse of smoke/heat detector £100
  • Replaced fire blanket £30 Resetting of fire alarm £75
  • Tampering of any fire safety equipment £75

LIFTS

Our blocks have lifts to help you carry those heavy bags but should you be unfortunate enough to become stuck in a lift please press and hold the alarm button for 3 seconds, this will connect you directly to the emergency call centre, they will advise you of a response time for an engineer to attend and release you.

Please note due to Health & Safety precautions CODE staff cannot release you from the lift as this needs to be done by a qualified lift engineer.

Do call us though and we will help keep you calm.

In the event of fire do not use the lifts at all.

Look after each other

CODE COMMUNITY WATCH

Here at CODE we look out for one another. If you see anything suspicious we encourage you to share it with our security team or the main office. You can act as our very own community watch.

We want your stay to be as comfortable and safe as possible. We’ll make sure to deal with any reports in a discreet and prompt manner.
