Absolutely yes anything that causes a hazard, Gas fires and cookers have to be inspected every year. If the window sills are below a certain height they have to be toughen glass. Get a copy of the regs you will be amazed at what is there

Polystyrene Tiles Illegal
2017-01-12 04:53:03 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
I have polystyrene tiles on my living room ceiling and the council hasnt said they are illegal. I think if they are gloss painted they constitute a fire hazard, we paint over ours with emulsion paint.

They only constitute a fire hazard if they've been gloss painted. If they have, get your landlord to remove them.
Don't think it's actually illegal, no.

Yes, they are illegal! They constitute a very strong fire hazard!

my landlord took them out as they can be a fire hazard, produce toxic fumes when burnt, and can damage the plaster on the walls and ceilings.
