Our building safety programme

We’ve developed our building safety programme to make sure that the buildings and homes we own and manage are safe for our residents. We currently have fire risk assessments in place for all our buildings but we will be rolling out more intensive phased building safety inspections to all our blocks regardless of their height.

We have over 1400 buildings so we will be looking at a range of factors including height, number of vulnerable residents and what the existing evacuation policy and fire safety measures are.

Phase one

Is already underway – this is looking at our 44 buildings over 18 metres tall and completing EWS1 forms for each of them. This phase will continue until all our tall buildings are complete.

Phase two

Will run this year and look at the next highest priority buildings. We anticipate about 100-150 buildings will be included in this phase.

Phases three onwards

The subsequent phases will follow each year with buildings being assessed on a priority needs basis.
