The Social Housing Regulation Bill
With concerns expressed in the Social Housing Regulation Bill about safety standards in some homes, the ability to offer reassurance about protection from the spread of roof fires should be a key factor in building specification choices.Read our blog about fire safety

 

 

Minimising the dangers

 

According to the government, fire services attended over 40,000 fire-related incidents at homes or primary dwellings over the last 12 months, highlighting the ongoing and obvious danger fires in home spaces – including the roof – present to lives and property. Current building regulations stipulate that any newly constructed home needs to be specified with fire protection measures in place to delay the spread of fire and allow crucial time to escape.
