Latest update - 3 April 2025
Thank you all for your continued patience as we continue working towards fixing the remediation issues at Bolanachi Building.
Effective 1 April 2025, we’ve reached an agreement with Rooff and are now working on getting the agreement issued and signed by all parties.
Once the agreement has been signed, we’ll share all the details with you and confirm a start date.
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.
What to do in the event of a fire
The evacuation strategy is ‘simultaneous evacuation’. This means that if you're alerted to a fire, you must evacuate the building immediately.
