Liverpool FAQs

Can you price remedial work in Liverpool from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Liverpool, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Liverpool?

Liverpool is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

What records do I get?
