Which rules apply in the East Midlands?
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.
What does it cost in the East Midlands?
We price fire stopping and compartmentation works in the East Midlands after a survey rather than from a guide range, because the number and type of penetrations, access to risers and voids, and building height vary from block to block. Send us the details and we will arrange a visit.
How do we deliver it?
We match the system to the penetration: plastic pipes, metal pipes and cable bundles each need a different tested solution.

Do you label penetrations?
Where your specification asks, yes, with a reference that matches the penetration log.
