IKO PLC

Fire safety has been in the spotlight since the Grenfell tragedy in 2017. New regulations and changes to guidance has seen areas in the construction industry, including flat roofing and waterproofing, to change their way of working.

In 2018, Dame Judith Hackitt’s report outlined the first major steps towards raising standards even higher by outlining recommendations relating to all areas of construction – and roofing was no exception.

Here, IKO explain the most up-to-date fire safety regulations, what fire testing consists of and how to ensure safe performance on site.
