Cladding & BSA Remediation

Cladding Remediation in London

London holds more residential buildings over 11 metres with unsafe cladding than any other part of England, and the boroughs with the most buildings are among the slowest to complete. We deliver remediation to the PAS 9980 appraisal, elevation by elevation, with residents in occupation and the records the safety case needs.

In London

One team,
county-wide.

The July 2026 government data puts the scale in plain numbers. Tower Hamlets alone has more than 400 buildings under monitoring for unsafe cladding, with 35 percent complete. Southwark has between 201 and 400, with 28 percent complete. Greenwich and Hackney each have between 101 and 200. Across England fewer than four in ten identified buildings are finished, and the mid-rise stock between 11 and 18 metres is lagging the tall buildings by 17 points (MHCLG Building Safety Remediation data, July 2026). Much of that mid-rise stock is in London: docklands and riverside developments of the 2000s, estate regeneration blocks, student accommodation and build-to-rent towers that were re-clad once already. We work for housing associations, managing agents, resident management companies and developers discharging their remediation obligations, and we start where London remediation most often stalls: an intrusive survey that shows what is actually in the wall.

What we deliver

Self-delivered,
accountable.

Scope

  • Intrusive fabric surveys to give the PAS 9980 assessor opened-up evidence, not drawings
  • Cladding and rainscreen replacement to the specification set by the fire-risk appraisal of external walls (FRAEW)
  • Removal of combustible insulation and installation of cavity barriers and remedial fire-stopping
  • Occupied-building phasing with resident liaison, protected escape routes and waking-watch coordination where one is in place
  • Interfaces with balconies, walkways and podium decks, which on London blocks are often part of the remediation scope
  • Golden-thread records and a handover pack formatted for the building's safety case and, for higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator
  • Coordination with Building Safety Fund and Cladding Safety Scheme funding milestones and their evidence requirements

Standards & compliance

  • PAS 9980 (remediation delivered to FRAEW outcomes; the appraisal itself is signed by a fire engineer)
  • Building Safety Act 2022, higher-risk building duties and golden-thread records
  • Approved Document B and BS 8414 / BR 135 evidence for replacement systems
  • CDM 2015 and permit-to-work discipline for occupied buildings
  • Section 61 (Control of Pollution Act 1974) consents and out-of-hours working where boroughs require them

FAQs

Your questions,
answered.

Do you carry out the PAS 9980 appraisal or the EWS1?

No. Those are signed by a suitably qualified fire engineer or assessor. We provide the intrusive survey evidence they need, then deliver the remediation the appraisal calls for. Keeping that line clear is what makes the record stand up later.

Can you work on higher-risk buildings registered with the Building Safety Regulator?

Yes, as the remediation contractor. On a registered higher-risk building the accountable person's safety case, the change-control process and the golden-thread records set the framework we work inside, and our handover pack is built to slot into it. Where a building control approval application is needed for the works, we support the principal designer and the accountable person with the technical evidence.

How do you keep an occupied London block safe during recladding?

Elevation-by-elevation phasing, fire-rated temporary protection where the wall is opened, escape routes and fire-service access kept clear and recorded daily, and a resident communication plan agreed before the first scaffold lift goes up. Decanting is the exception, not the default.

Do you work with the Building Safety Fund and the Cladding Safety Scheme?

We work to the milestones and evidence those schemes require, from the pre-tender estimate through to completion certification, alongside the building owner's project manager or monitoring surveyor. The funding application itself is the owner's, and we provide what the application needs from the contractor.
