Testing body the Building Research Establishment (BRE) has confirmed it is no longer accepting new work from insulation firms Kingspan and Celotex.

The decision by BRE to end its relationship with the two firms is a direct result of the evidence heard at the Grenfell Inquiry, Housing Today understands. It means BRE will no longer test or audit the firms’ products.

Both firms were accused of acting in a misleading way regarding its products that were installed on Grenfell Tower.
