Regulatory & Legal Updates
A detailed breakdown of 2026 BSR mandates, Section 161 liability, and PEEPs. The Building Safety Act 2022 remains the most significant overhaul of building safety legislation in the UK since the 2005 Fire Safety Order. It was born from the Grenfell Tower tragedy and fundamentally changed who is responsible for building safety, how that responsibility is enforced, and the consequences for getting it wrong.
What Is Passive Fire Protection? A Practical Guide for UK Buildings
A practical breakdown of passive fire protection: what it is, how it works, what UK law requires, and what competent installation actually looks like. Passive fire protection is built into every occupied building in the UK, yet it remains one of the least understood elements of fire safety compliance. This guide covers the components, the legislation, and the installation standards responsible persons need to know.
What Is Fire Compartmentation? A Guide for UK Building Owners and Managers
A practical breakdown of fire compartmentation: what it is, how it works, what UK law requires, and who’s actually responsible for checking it holds up. Compartmentation underpins nearly every fire safety strategy in the UK, yet most guidance stops at the definition rather than the compliance obligation behind it. This guide covers the physical components, the legislation, the height-based duties under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and what a proper survey involves.
FD30 Fire Door Requirements: Specification, Frame Rules, and What the Law Requires
A practical breakdown of FD30 fire door compliance: what the specification actually covers, how the frame and doorset factor in, what UK law requires, and who’s responsible for checking it holds up. FD30 compliance underpins nearly every fire door installation in the UK, yet most guidance stops at the door leaf rather than the full doorset obligation. This guide covers the physical specification, the legislation, the checking and maintenance duties under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and how to verify whether an existing door is genuinely compliant.
