As part of the re-furb we're starting to think about how to escape a
fire if the staircase is impassable.

Smoke alarms should get you out before that stage, but you could also consider sprinklers over the escape route.
Smoke alarms are fitted but it's not big enough to justify sprinklers.

Has anyone here been through the same process
and come up with a smart solution?

Fixed and rigid ladders, so not dangly like rope/chain ladders. Also you step out sideways from the window rather than clambering over the sill.
Thanks, I hadn't seen those and they look interesting.
