Challenges & Opportunities

Fire safety upgrades in occupied homes call for respect, clear communication and the least possible disruption.

Keeping Up with the Rules

Fire safety law keeps changing. We make sure all our work meets the latest requirements for compartmentation and residential fire doors, including the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 and Building Safety Act duties.

Budget and Resource Limitations

Housing providers often work to tight budgets, so fire stopping has to be cost effective without compromising on quality or compliance.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We work with local authorities, housing associations and managing agents on planned programmes and on remedial work following fire risk assessments.

All work is carried out to current Building Regulations and British Standards and is certified, so it can be evidenced to the Building Safety Regulator, Building Control and insurers.

We price programmes to the provider’s budget and prioritise the highest risk breaches first, so the money goes where it reduces risk most.

Yes. Every project comes with photographic evidence, certificates and marked up plans for the golden thread of building information.
