Fire Safety Standards: What Every Balcony Project Must Deliver

Modular balcony installation by Wiltech Engineering

In today’s regulatory climate, fire safety isn’t a feature — it’s a legal and ethical requirement. Every balcony system installed in the UK must meet stringent Building Safety Regulator (BSR) standards, particularly under Gateway review processes for Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs).

At Wiltech Engineering, we don’t just follow the rules — we build balcony systems around them. Fire safety begins with compliant design and continues through to certified fabrication, tested materials, and traceable coatings. That’s how we ensure full alignment with BS EN 13501-1, EN 1090-2, and Approved Document B.
