Key legislation includes:
- Building Safety Act 2022 – structural and high-rise building safety

Why should I hire a UK building compliance expert like Axis?

Benefits include:
- Preventing hazards such as fires, gas leaks, or electrical faults
- Avoiding fines, legal action, or building closure
- Extending asset lifespan through regular M&E inspections and testing

How does building compliance affect residents?
Compliance creates safer, more efficient homes and workplaces. Vital services – cooking, heating and water – are safe to use.
For residents, UK building compliance ensures:
- Fire, electrical, and gas safety compliance
- Reliable heating, plumbing, and ventilation systems
- Clean, safe water supply through Legionella control
- Lower utility bills thanks to energy efficiency upgrades
For Social Housing landlords, are the UK Government Net Zero targets legally required? Or just nice to have?
Yes – especially for landlords and social housing providers.
By 2030, all social housing must achieve an EPC rating of C or higher.
This requires investment in energy-efficient measures such as:
- Solar PV panels
- Air source heat pumps
- Low-carbon heating systems
Meeting these targets supports Net Zero compliance while lowering tenant costs.
What is TrustMark accreditation and why is it important?
TrustMark is the UK Government-endorsed quality assurance scheme.
It guarantees that contractors meet the highest standards in building regulations, fire safety compliance, and customer service. As a TrustMark-accredited contractor, Axis provides:
- Fully compliant and certified work
- Technical expertise and proven quality
- Full warranties and guarantees
What M&E compliance inspections does Axis provide?
We deliver full statutory mechanical and electrical inspections across the UK.
Our M&E compliance services include:
- Electrical safety inspections
- Gas safety checks
- Fire safety compliance testing
- Air and ventilation system inspections
- Plumbing, drainage, and water hygiene assessments
All services are completed by qualified and accredited engineers.
How does Axis help clients achieve greener driving and EV charging compliance?
We deliver OLEV-approved, fully compliant EV charge point installations.
Our installation teams are trained to the highest standards, working to the 18th Edition wiring regulations and ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System to ensure every EVSE meets UK safety and compliance requirements. We adhere to:
- BS-EN-61851-1:2019 and BS EN 61851-1:2011
- Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016
- Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations 2016
- IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671:2018+A1:2020
- IET Code of Practice for EVSE installation
We source sustainable materials and recommend emission-free energy suppliers for low/zero-carbon installations. While no UK-wide law mandates EV charging provision, local authorities such as the London Plan require charge points in certain developments.
What are the latest UK cladding compliance regulations?
Stricter cladding safety laws now protect residents and set higher fire safety standards.
Under the Building Safety Act 2022, building owners must register high-rise properties with the Building Safety Regulator and rectify unsafe cladding at no cost to leaseholders. Compliance now requires:
- Full cladding assembly testing, including insulation and substructure
- Use of materials with A2-s1, d0 or A1 fire resistance ratings
- A ban on combustible materials for high-rise residential buildings
A government consultation is underway to extend the combustible materials ban to buildings over 11 metres.
