Fire safety in high rise buildings has become a major point of discussion recently, becoming more prevalent following the Grenfell Fire which occurred largely in part due to combustible cladding being retro fitted onto an existing building.
The Government introduced a myriad of regulations to improve upon the fire safety of all buildings with cladding over 18 meters in height. All cladding and balcony materials on buildings over 18 metres in height will have to be fire resistant and will need to achieve a class A1 fire rating.
Listed below are some of services we are currently offering to our clients:
- Detailed design
- Control of condensation
- Integrity, performance and continuity of insulation
- Prevention of water penetration and provision of adequate drainage
- Reducing the risk of spread of fire
- Methods of installation
- Cleaning and maintenance strategies
- Timber cladding
- Rainscreen cladding
Invariably the issue both residents and managing agents alike are facing include not being able to inhabit their flats, high costs for maintaining fire 24 hour fire watches and the inability to sell or rent their homes until their buildings comply with the new fire safety regulations.
The implications of doing nothing can be summarised below:
- Loss of wealth
- Effects on mental health and well being
- Material loss to property
- Loss of life!
The above makes for uncomfortable reading and essentially means that as industry professionals we have a duty to our clients and homeowners to act effectively and proficiently on their behalf to make their buildings as safe as possible in a timely manner.
With our decades of combined experience we can assist our clients needs at any stage of their project, be that pre-construction or through to on site delivery of their preferred cladding solution all the while ensuring we are adhering to the new fire safety regulations.

- All our rainscreen systems are CWCT (centre for window and cladding technologies) certified and have been safety and quality assured in tested conditions to ensure they comply with current regulations.
- Another key benefit of certain rainscreen systems is their ability to provide year-round desired climate conditions whilst reducing the on set of condensation and humidity within buildings.
- Ease of installation is also one of the reasons why rainscreen cladding is preferred amongst many contractors as their go to solution.
- On installation, require limited on going maintenance thereby reducing buildings running costs and ultimately increasing energy efficiency.
