Cladding for flats and multi-storey buildings

Cladding on multi-storey residential buildings has faced the most scrutiny of any building type since 2017, and remediation projects on flats now follow a specific, well-defined process.

Who's usually involved

Cladding remediation on flats typically involves the freeholder or managing agent, an external wall fire review (often a PAS 9980 assessment — see our dedicated guide), a fire engineer, and funding routes such as the Building Safety Fund or developer-funded remediation schemes, depending on the building's history.

What the process usually looks like

1. External wall system (EWS1) or PAS 9980 fire risk assessment
2. Remediation strategy agreed with fire engineer and Building Control
3. System specification and tender
4. Installation, with cavity barriers and fire-stopping as a core focus
5. Handover documentation for the building's fire safety case

Our role

We work as the installer within this process — fitting the specified system to the agreed detail, coordinating with the appointed fire engineer, and providing full photographic and material handover records that feed into the building's fire safety documentation.
