Same regulations. Very different problems.
A student block and an NHS trust are both subject to the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Almost nothing else about their fire door problem is the same. Pick the one that looks like yours.
Student Accommodation
High density, high churn, twenty-four hour occupancy and a wedging culture no inspection cycle will ever catch.
Sector detail BTRBuild to Rent
Institutional capital, due diligence packs and amenity spaces the original fire strategy never modelled.
Sector detail Social housingHousing Associations
Thousands of flat entrance doors, no-access rates that never fall below 20%, and a regulator with real teeth.
Sector detail Extra careRetirement Living
Residents who cannot self-evacuate, and doors propped open for reasons nobody could reasonably object to.
Sector detail HealthcareNHS & Healthcare
Progressive horizontal evacuation, constant physical damage, and no quiet window in which to inspect anything.
Sector detail PartnersInstallation Partners
Fitters and inspectors who want recurring revenue on estates they already service, without building hardware.
Partner with usWhat every sector has in common
Different buildings, different residents, different regulators looking over your shoulder. One structural problem underneath all of it.
A duty that is continuous
The obligation applies every day. The evidence is collected twice a year.
Failures nobody reports
The most common fire door failure is one no resident thinks to mention.
Evidence in four systems
And a regulator who wants it as one record, per door, on request.
Cost that only grows
Every defect found late is more expensive than the same defect found early.
Not sure which one you are?
