Bolanachi Building - building safety

Latest update - 24 July 2024

We’re sorry to have to tell you that we’re still waiting on confirmation from our fire engineer for the proposed remediation works for Bolanachi Building.

We’re sorry for the delay and understand how frustrating this might be. Unfortunately, this process is taking longer that we’d expected. Please be assured that we’re in regular contact with our fire engineer and doing all we can to get confirmation. We’ll provide you with a more detailed update once we know more.  

Thank you for your continued patience.

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.
