The signs you look after
- Block names, numbers and entrance signs
- Fire safety signs and fire action notices in communal areas
- Floor and flat number signs
- Car park, bin store and estate signs
- Notice boards and resident information signs
What gets in the way
- Many buildings and estates, with signs added piecemeal over decades
- Damaged or missing signs in communal areas reported without details
- Evidence needed of what's installed in communal areas
- Rebrands after mergers that need a count of every sign carrying the old name
How Signcensus helps
- Survey each block's communal areas from a phone
- Use sign types for fire safety, wayfinding and resident information
- Filter for damaged and missing signs and brief the contractor with photos
- Export the schedule after a merger or rebrand
Every sign is pinned to its plan with photos, a sign type, a status and your own fields, and every change is logged with who made it and when. See all features.
Where to start
Start with your highest-priority blocks and agree sign types for communal areas. Read the UK safety signage guide.
Questions
- Can we record fire safety signs separately?
- Yes. Give them their own sign type and filter by it. Signcensus records what is there; what each building needs is set by its fire risk assessment.
