Fire, security & ventilation
for Residential & Social Housing.
Social housing fire safety is the post-Grenfell sector where the regulatory bar has moved the furthest. Awaab’s Law, the Building Safety Act and the Fire Safety Act 2021 have made the Responsible Person’s duties more granular, more time-bound, and more enforceable. We work across the residential and social housing portfolio, from low-rise estates to higher-risk buildings, with named clients including FirstPort, Newlon Housing, Moat Homes and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.
