Fire Remediation Services
Bringing Buildings Up to Safety Standards
The landscape of building safety has changed considerably since Grenfell
What was once acceptable is now under scrutiny. Buildings across England need urgent attention, and the government's Remediation Acceleration Plan has set clear deadlines. By 2029, buildings over 18 metres must have unsafe cladding removed. Buildings over 11 metres face the same deadline. The penalties for non-compliance are severe.
​
This isn't just about meeting regulations. It's about protecting lives.
​
The Challenge Facing Building Owners​
​
Perhaps you're a building owner wrestling with fire safety compliance. Or a developer trying to navigate PAS 9980 requirements. Maybe you're a housing association facing enforcement action.
The regulations are complex. The deadlines are tight. The cost of getting it wrong extends well beyond financial penalties.
​
Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls (FRAEWs) must now follow strict protocols. Materials must meet BS EN 13501 standards. Life-critical fire safety defects demand immediate action. And the Building Safety Regulator is watching closely.
​
Finding a contractor who understands both the technical requirements and the urgency isn't straightforward.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
RMR's Fire Remediation Capabilities
​
We've built our reputation on facades. Over 50 years of combined experience sits within our team. Our Technical Director brings a structural engineering background and four decades of industry knowledge. That expertise now extends to comprehensive fire remediation services.
​
Our approach is end-to-end. We don't just install solutions designed by others.
Assessment & Appraisal
​
We conduct thorough fire safety assessments of existing buildings. Our team identifies life-critical defects in external wall systems, cladding configurations, and fire break installations. We understand PAS 9980 requirements and work with certified fire risk assessors to provide accurate FRAEWs that meet regulatory standards.
Design & Engineering
​
Our in-house design team develops remediation solutions tailored to each building's specific challenges. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Our designers work closely with fire safety experts to balance compliance requirements with aesthetic considerations and budget constraints. Having everything in-house means faster communication and better outcomes.
​
Installation & Upgrade
​
Our installation teams deliver the solutions we've designed. This integration matters. When the people installing the work understand the engineering behind it, problems get solved on-site rather than escalating into delays. We hold ISO 9001 certification for quality management, which means robust processes underpin every project.
​
Materials & Compliance
​
Fire-resistant materials must meet current standards. We work with manufacturers whose products comply with BS EN 13501 classifications. Our specifications align with Building Safety Act requirements and Fire Safety Order obligations. Documentation is thorough because regulatory compliance demands it.​​
Why Building Owners Choose RMR
Integrated Service
​
When assessment, design, and installation sit under one roof, accountability is clear. There's no passing responsibility between contractors. Our project managers stay on-site, working directly with installation teams. Problems get addressed immediately.
​
Technical Expertise
​
Fire remediation requires specialist knowledge. Our team includes structural engineers who understand how remediation work affects building integrity. We've navigated complex facades on high-rise buildings, transport hubs, and residential estates. That experience counts when specifications need adapting on-site.
​
Regulatory Understanding
​
Building safety legislation continues evolving. We stay current with requirements from the Building Safety Regulator, changes to Approved Document B, and updates to testing standards. Our clients don't need to become regulatory experts. We translate complex requirements into practical solutions.
​
Quality Assurance
​
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications aren't just badges on our website. They represent systematic approaches to quality management and environmental responsibility. Every project follows documented processes. Regular audits ensure standards are maintained.
​
Uk Wide Coverage
​
Headquartered in Norwich, we effectively serve projects across East Anglia, Cambridgeshire, Essex, the Midlands and the M25 area. Regional presence means faster response times and better site oversight. Our management teams visit regularly, not just when problems arise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The RMR Process
​
Initial Assessment
​
We visit site to understand your building's specific challenges. Our team reviews existing fire risk assessments, examines external wall construction, and identifies compliance gaps. This initial consultation is free and involves no obligation.
​​
Detailed Survey & Specification
​
Following initial assessment, we conduct detailed surveys if required. Our design team develops comprehensive specifications for remediation works. These include material selections, installation methodologies, and compliance documentation.
​
Project Planning
​
Method statements and risk assessments are prepared before any work commences. We coordinate with building occupants to minimise disruption. Our dedicated contracts manager oversees communication between all parties.
​
Installation & Quality Control
​
Work proceeds according to agreed schedules. Our site management teams maintain close oversight throughout. Quality checkpoints ensure standards are met at each stage.
​​
Completion & Documentation​
​
Upon completion, we provide comprehensive documentation including material certifications, test results, and compliance records. This paperwork is essential for Building Safety Regulator submissions and insurance purposes.
​
Time Is Running Out
​
The 2029 deadline might seem distant. It isn't.
Remediation contractors are already seeing capacity constraints. Material lead times are extending. Buildings requiring complex interventions need time for proper design development.
​
Early action provides options. Delayed action leads to rushed decisions and compromised outcomes.
