Building Safety at our high rise buildings
Monthly block inspections are carried out by one of our surveyors, in line with the Building Safety Act for high rise buildings.
What's checked:
- Corridors and stairwells: To ensure all communal hallways, corridors, and protected stairwells are completely free from obstructions, storage, rubbish, and personal items (such as bicycles and prams).
- Walls, ceilings and riser cupboards: Are inspected for unsealed penetrations through fire-resisting walls and ceilings.
- Roof spaces and plant rooms: Are check for leaks, water ingress, or unsecured hatches that could compromise safety.
- Active systems: Alarm systems are tested on a weekly basis.
