Passive Fire Protection for Social Housing
Social housing providers are operating in an environment of increased scrutiny, evolving legislation and heightened resident expectations. Effective passive fire protection is no longer simply a regulatory requirement — it is central to protecting lives, maintaining trust and safeguarding long-term building performance.
Delivering Compliance in Occupied Residential Buildings
Social housing portfolios often consist of buildings constructed across different decades, with varying construction methods, undocumented alterations and legacy penetrations. Ensuring effective compartmentation in these environments requires detailed assessment, controlled remediation and clear documentation.
At the same time, works are typically delivered in occupied homes and communal areas, where sensitivity, communication and resident safety are critical. Programmes must be phased carefully to minimise disruption while maintaining fire safety standards throughout.
