Bolanachi Building - building safety

Latest update - 16 October 2024

Experts and fire engineers from both Hyde and Rooff have met and discussed the proposed plan for remediation works at Bolanachi Building. The meeting was positive, and there are now just a few points which we’re hoping to resolve soon.

We appreciate your continued patience and we’re sorry that we can’t provide you with a detailed timeline or programme of works as yet.

We’re working with all parties to resolve the remaining points, and will provide you with a further update in November unless we’re able to provide one before then.

S20 Notice for completed Timber Replacement Works

We can confirm that we’re not recharging leaseholders for the timber replacement works that were completed following the S20 Notice we issued dated 25 March 2021. We’ll be issuing a retraction for this notice.

Building Safety Fund applications and current position with Rooff Ltd

We’ve made two applications to the fund. The first was in relation to the completed timber replacement works, which was denied, and on appeal the denial was upheld, meaning no funding was received for them. The second one for the brick works has been accepted based on a proposed solution made to resolve the identified issues. This application has been accepted in principle, remains in place and could be progressed should we need to.

EWS1

A fire engineer will be involved throughout the project to ensure a favourable EWS1 form is issued within six to eight weeks after the work is completed.

If you start the selling, remortgaging or staircasing process before we have an updated EWS1 and lenders require confirmation from us about the position, please email us at [email protected]. 

We’re sorry for the delay with the EWS1 form for your building. We understand the uncertainty this may cause and thank you for your patience.
