Big Building Regulation Changes Coming in 2026 — What London Homeowners Need to Know
The UK construction landscape is shifting in 2026, and it affects anyone planning a renovation or new build.
New Fire Safety Rules (April & September 2026)
Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) come into force in April 2026, improving fire safety in residential buildings. From September 2026, amended Building Regulations introduce stronger fire safety requirements for taller buildings.
Future Homes Standard
The new standards introduce mandatory solar PV as a core requirement for new residential developments — great news for energy bills and the environment.
Building Safety Levy
From October 2026, a new Building Safety Levy comes into force in England, designed to raise funds for the remediation of unsafe buildings.
