Fire strategy

Fire strategies that clear Building Control and protect your programme.

For new build, conversions and change of use, written to the latest Approved Document B and, where the project calls for it, BS 9991:2024 and BS 9999:2017.

  • New build residential, including the second staircase provisions in force from 30 September 2026
  • Commercial to residential and mixed use
  • Flat and HMO conversions
  • Retrospective strategies for existing buildings

Now in force in England

Approved Document B changed on 30 September 2026.

The second staircase amendments now apply to new blocks of flats with a storey 18 m or more above ground level. Schemes already in the system may still qualify for the previous guidance, but only if they pass the transitional test.

What changed and where your scheme stands
18 m
More than one common stair in new blocks of flats with a storey this high or higher, measured to the floor of the top storey.
1,100 mm
Minimum clear width for each of those common stairs.
18 months
For an application made before 30 September 2026, work must be sufficiently progressed within 18 months for the previous guidance to apply.
