  • Defects prioritised by risk

Key checks for Westminster projects

Fire risk assessments

Surveys often follow a fire risk assessment action. We address the specific items raised.

Re-survey after works

We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.

What a survey can and cannot show

A visual survey records marks, materials and visible defects. It cannot prove a frame's rating without evidence, so we flag unknowns clearly rather than guessing.

England regulations that shape the job

England Which rules apply?

Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Yes. We survey and install in Westminster and across Greater London, including the SW1 district and nearby Pimlico.

How quickly can you survey in Westminster?
