Fire door installation and remediation in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Residents are told the day their door will be replaced, and the work is planned so the flat is secure at the end of each visit.

Which rules apply in the Isle of Wight?

Under the Building Safety Act 2022, building work in higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with at least two homes) needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt; most repairs and like-for-like replacements are exempt, but heating systems, fuse boxes and glazing units are not. Approval can take up to eight weeks for existing buildings, so we build it into the programme.
