What the Fire Safety Act 2021 actually changed, and what it didn’t
A plain-language breakdown of what the Fire Safety Act 2021 did and didn't alter, and why it is so often confused with the Building Safety Act 2022.
Clear Fire is an owner-led UK fire safety practice. We deliver Type 1–4 fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, PAS 9980 external wall reviews, multi-site compliance programmes and insurer audit support, for offices, hospitality, residential blocks and complex multi-tenant portfolios.
Clear Fire is run by two independent owners, Kevin and Jon. Every site visit, every finding and every signed report is theirs, never a junior, never a subcontractor. The result is faster, defensible documentation that holds up with insurers, fire officers and responsible persons under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021.
Every assessment is carried out, walked and signed off by Kevin or Jon themselves, two independent, Level 4 qualified owners with decades in construction. No juniors, no subcontractors, no upselling.
"We're independent, so the only thing we're selling is honest advice. I'll always talk you through the key actions and the most sensible way to tackle them."
Thirty years in construction, fire-rated windows and doors, curtain walling and facades, now brought to fire safety. Kevin works with office managers, operations directors and...
"Solid, clear advice and a workable route through fire safety compliance, and someone you're confident picking up the phone to."
Forty years in construction, facades, fire-rated systems and high-specification building envelopes, behind every assessment. Jon helps everyone from short-term-let owners to large businesses: offices, warehouses,...
Whether you need a single assessment or an embedded fire-officer relationship, every engagement starts with a clear scope and ends with documented compliance.
