EWS1 Certificate
The EWS1 certificate for phase 4 has been emailed to all residents whose email addresses we have on our system.
If you haven’t received it, please email us at [email protected].
Health and Safety
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that you don’t smoke or have naked flames, flammable materials, or barbecue on your balconies while our remediation works are going on.
If you smoke, make sure you stub cigarettes out and don’t flick them off your balcony.
While we work on the scaffold, we kindly ask that you don’t use your balcony to avoid any risks. Please note that unauthorised persons are not to access the scaffold at any time.
Project summary
Render (EWI) – we’re inserting vertical and/or horizontal fire barriers and over-render with a new topcoat to all areas.
Zinc Cladding – we’re installing a horizontal barrier to the ‘shadow gap’ and a new perimeter barrier to the base to balconies and private terraces and a vertical barrier to the window reveal. Ventilation sleeves are also being renewed.
Spandrel Panels between windows will have the fire break behind the panel updated.
Balcony decking on balconies that interacts with the zinc cladding are being replaced with a non-combustible aluminium decking.
