How AliDeck Ensures BSR Compliance at Every Project Stage

The introduction of the Building Safety Act and oversight from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) has fundamentally changed how balconies must be designed, built and maintained in the UK. Compliance now needs to be demonstrated not just at completion but across the full lifecycle of a project — from initial design to long-term management.

At AliDeck, we’ve developed our systems, documentation and customer support with this evolving regulatory landscape in mind. We go beyond product supply — we help project teams demonstrate full balcony BSR compliance at every stage.

Specification Stage: Getting Compliance Right from the Start

At the earliest stages, our technical team works closely with architects and specifiers to ensure that balcony designs meet the core principles of the Building Safety Act — particularly around non-combustibility, structural integrity, drainage, and guarding.

Every AliDeck system is made from non-combustible aluminium and tested to Euroclass A2-s1, d0, suitable for use above 11 metres. Structural testing ensures our boards and components meet British Standards for imposed loading, while drainage solutions are engineered for performance and safety.

To support this stage, we provide technical datasheets, product certifications, fire testing results, CAD and BIM files — making it easy for designers to evidence BSR-aligned decision-making.

Installation: Training and Guidance for a Safe Build

Once products are on site, ensuring safe and consistent installation becomes a crucial part of compliance. That’s why AliDeck offers installation training, both in-person and digitally, to fabricators and contractors. This ensures our systems are assembled and fitted correctly, avoiding issues that could result in failed inspections or costly rework.

Our Approved Installer Scheme adds an extra layer of assurance for developers, as they can trust that balcony systems have been delivered by teams with hands-on product knowledge and proven competence.

Completion and Post-Handover: Supporting Your Golden Thread

Under the BSR framework, it’s vital to maintain a clear “golden thread” of information. We assist by providing clear handover packs that document all relevant compliance data — from fire testing and warranty documents to installation guidance, maintenance schedules and drainage reports.

This level of transparency helps duty holders manage risk throughout the building’s lifespan and supports regulatory engagement with confidence.
