Housing Associations & RSLs
Portfolio fire risk management, cladding remediation, and BSA 2022 compliance for registered social landlords.
Regulatory Pressures
Housing associations managing residential portfolios face an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. The Building Safety Act 2022, Fire Safety Act 2021, and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have significantly expanded the obligations on responsible persons. For many housing associations, the challenge is not awareness of these obligations — it is securing the specialist expertise needed to discharge them.
How Apex Helps
Apex Fire Engineering supports housing associations with systematic, portfolio-level fire safety programmes. We deliver fire risk assessments across housing stock of varying age, construction, and risk profile — from post-war concrete tower blocks to timber-framed modern developments. Our FRAEWs under PAS 9980 provide proportionate external wall risk appraisals that avoid unnecessary remediation costs while addressing genuine risk. For higher-risk buildings, we prepare building safety case reports and retrospective fire strategies that meet BSR expectations.
Every instruction is led by the same senior practitioner from initial instruction through to report delivery. This consistency of approach across a portfolio ensures coherent, comparable findings and enables strategic prioritisation of remedial works.
