Mr. Glenn Horton

A significant portion of my workload is comprised of numerous cases involving the use of combustible materials in the build-up of external walls, alongside other alleged fire safety deficiencies.

My instructions generally involve compliance with guidance, regulations and contracts, organising fire tests for systems and materials. 

I specialise in the application of Part B of Building Regulations, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005& the design and installation of fire fighting systems in England and Wales.

I also take instruction in relation to the cause, origin and spread of fire and have worked on a number of significant matters in this field.

I have extensive experience including the preparation of reports under CPR for Civil and Criminal cases.

I have an extensive CV of cases and formal instructions, as well as attendance at court, adjudications and mediations

I have worked throughout the UK (including the Channel Isles & Scotland), Asia, Europe and Africa.

I specialise in working with clients who have fire safety issues, whether they be civil or criminal matters.

Recent cases include: Provision of expert support arising out of construction defects, exposing our client to potential prosecution due to alleged non-compliant external wall build-up; expert reports following post-fire prosecution; application to have a formal notice withdrawn, contractual disputes between landlords and tenants.

I have been involved in fire safety since 1981, initially as fire officer, then subsequently as a fire consultant and engineer. I have worked throughout the UK (including the Channel Isles & Scotland), Asia, Europe and Africa.
