A new chapter in UK fire safety
The UK’s fire safety landscape continues to evolve. Since the Grenfell Tower tragedy, reforms have been steadily introduced to close gaps in accountability, raise building standards, and strengthen enforcement.
Now, 2025 brings the next phase of these changes, with updates expected to impact building owners, developers, and facilities managers across the country.
According to the British Safety Council and other trade bodies, this year’s updates will place even greater emphasis on:
Accountable Persons
Ensuring someone is legally responsible for fire safety throughout a building’s life cycle.
Competency and maintenance
Verifying that fire protection systems are designed, installed, and maintained by qualified professionals.
Transparent records
Requiring up-to-date information on fire protection measures to be easily accessible to regulators and residents.
Building safety cases
For high-rise or complex properties, requiring a detailed, evidence-based demonstration that fire risk is being effectively managed.
These developments aren’t just about compliance... they signal a wider cultural shift: from reactive safety to proactive prevention.
👇🏼 What it means for your business or property 👇🏼
For those responsible for commercial, industrial, or residential buildings, the changes mean fire protection systems will face closer scrutiny than ever before.
Regular inspections, functional testing, and proper documentation will be key to avoiding penalties - and more importantly, to protecting people and property.
For businesses, this may mean:
Reviewing existing sprinkler systems to confirm they meet current British Standards (such as BS EN 12845).
Ensuring wet and dry risers are not only installed but tested and serviced regularly.
Verifying that maintenance partners are accredited and that work is properly logged.
