Building regulation enforcement has no time limit - which is pretty

Similarly if fire requirements are ignored not having yet had a fire
doesn't mean they can safely be left as they are.


Might be worth pointing out that they are not retrospective. So there is
no need to bring a building up to current standard if it was done to the
correct standard in force at the time.
