Hawley Court
Building safety in our blocks
After engaging with customers living in our tall buildings to understand your needs better and to make sure we know how best to share important information about your building with you, we've produced a Building Safety Customer Engagement Strategy for each high-rise block.

Update — October 2025
We previously wrote to customers to say that we were working to resolve some queries with part of the works specification.
This still hasn’t been resolved and we’re sorry for the further delay.
We’ll be back in contact by 14 November to give a further update.
If you’ve got any queries or concerns, please feel free to contact us on building.safety@goldinghomes.org.uk and we’ll respond within 5 working days.
What are we doing?
As a result of intrusive building surveys, we've identified some areas where improvement works may be required. This includes ensuring disused gas flues are correctly sealed and installing an automatic smoke ventilation system to the communal areas. We'll also be looking at areas within service cupboards throughout the building. We're working with consultants to develop a schedule of works and will share this with you once it’s been completed. All customers will be able to remain in their homes while any works take place.
Evacuation plan for Hawley Court
The current fire strategy is stay put. If you're alerted to a fire, there are different actions you should take depending on the location of the fire:
- Fire in your flat: Leave your flat, closing all doors behind you and call 999
- Fire in common areas: Only leave the building if you are in that area
- Fire in another flat or another part of the building: Stay in your flat.
If you’re not directly affected by the fire, you can stay in your flat unless directed otherwise by the emergency services.
If at any time you feel under threat, you're of course still free to leave the building.
What is a Personal Escape Plan?
A Personal Escape Plan is what you would follow in event of a fire in your building. For your own safety, it’s important you and your family all know what to do in the event of a fire. If there's anyone in your household who in the event of an emergency, may not be able to quickly reach a place of safety unaided, or may need additional support in the event of a fire, please email building.safety@goldinghomes.org.uk so that we can work with them to make sure they remain safe.
Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)
A fire risk assessment is an inspection of a building and its use, structure and the occupants. It identifies any potential fire safety hazards and risks present and provides recommendations on how those risks can be managed to keep the people living in the building safe.
