FIRE REMEDIATION
In the wake of the demand driven by Government and the Developers Remediation Contract, we have experience and growing expertise in best methods of how to best achieve your EWS1 and regulatory sign off.
Working as either principal contractor or subcontractor, we carry out the following:
​
​​​We understand that in most cases the buildings are occupied, and that the work must be carried out in accordance with full regulatory approval, yet also the most cost effective method.
INVESTIGATIONS
Either under a PCSA, or as a stand alone order, we help conduct intrusive surveys to help identify non-compliant materials and fire-stopping failures. With the help of the fire engineer, we ensure we only strip and replace what is absolutely necessary to minimise costs for the FRAEW report to be produced.
Our works can include:
​
Access/Scaffold Strategy
Methodology of Delivery
Pre-condition Surveys
Scaffold Licence
Highway License

EXTERNAL WALLS
Leveraging our facade expertise, we safely strip combustible materials, replacing them with fully certified, non-combustible systems. Our approach ensures minimal disruption to the building fabric while maximising thermal and fire performance.
​
These works can include:
​
Combustible material strip-out and safe disposal
Rainscreen cladding and EWI replacement
Cavity barrier installation and inspection
Insulation replacement (A1/A2 rated)
Weatherproofing and structural backing board replacement

​
Balcony condition surveys
Strip-out of combustible decking and joists
Installation of A1/A2 rated aluminium decking
Non-combustible subframes and adjustable pedestals
Drainage and waterproofing integration
​
INTERNAL WALLS
In accordance with the fire plan, and if deemed necessary, we can restore crucial fire compartmentation that is essential to building safety. This can include fire-stopping to service voids, risers, and internal partitions to prevent the spread of smoke and flame between apartments and communal areas.
Compartmentation surveys and reporting
Fire-stopping of MEP service penetrations
Riser shaft remediation
Intumescent sealing and batts
Upgrades to structural compartment walls
FIRE DOORS
Whether for flat entrances or communal corridors, we install the components deemed necessary to achieve the upgrade and certificate. All components are installed and rigorously checked, and signed off to meet current regulations upon handover.
​
These works can include:
​
FD30S & FD60S door installations
Flat entrance door replacements
Linear seal replacements.
Communal corridor and stairwell door upgrades
Upgrades to ironmongery, intumescent strips, and cold smoke seals
