Compliance & Regulations

Building regulation in the UK has changed significantly, and the duties now placed on landlords, managing agents and building owners are stricter than they were a decade ago. This category exists to explain those duties in plain language, from the perspective of the people who inspect and repair buildings from the outside.

Here you’ll find articles on Awaab’s Law and the response times it sets for damp and mould, on building safety and fire-related duties for higher-risk residential blocks, on cladding requirements, and on the Work at Height Regulations that govern how any contractor on your site should be operating.

We also cover the practical documentation side: inspection records, condition reports, before-and-after photographs and the evidence trail that shows a duty has been met.

These articles are general guidance rather than legal advice, and regulations continue to develop. Where a duty applies to your building, we recommend confirming the current requirements with your professional advisers.
