A Trusted Partner in Residential Fire Protection
With over 35 years of experience, we’ve worked across a wide range of residential settings, including apartment blocks, social housing, mixed-use developments, student accommodation, and private residential schemes. Our deep knowledge of residential building layouts, construction types, and occupancy patterns allows us to create systems that are practical, scalable, and highly reliable.
We understand the legal obligations placed on building owners and managing agents under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Building Safety Act 2022, and the updated Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Our systems and services are designed to keep residents safe and clients compliant.
Fire Protection Solutions Tailored to Apartment Blocks
No two buildings are the same, which is why Spectrum delivers bespoke systems based on the building’s construction, occupancy type, and fire risk assessment findings.
