What is building fabric maintenance?

Rules that apply in England
For leased premises, fabric condition matters at lease end: keeping a maintenance record and photos can reduce dilapidations claims against the tenant. In England, fire safety in non-domestic premises falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, workplaces have had to separate recycling under Simpler Recycling since 31 March 2025, and the Building Safety Act 2022 adds duties for higher-risk residential buildings.
