Barnet's fire safety landscape is shaped by the Colindale regeneration, which has introduced a significant number of new high-rise residential buildings to the borough. Alongside established social housing towers in Grahame Park, West Hendon and Dollis Valley, these developments create substantial demand for fire safety assessment services across a range of construction types.
The Colindale and Beaufort Park developments feature modern external wall systems including rainscreen cladding and curtain walling, while the borough's existing social housing stock includes post-war towers with concrete panel and rendered insulation systems. Each requires a different assessment approach under PAS 9980:2022.
We provide fire safety consultancy across Barnet for developers, managing agents, housing associations and leaseholders, covering the full range of assessment and compliance services.
Barnet's residential towers, from Colindale regeneration developments to Grahame Park estate blocks, require FRAEW assessment of their external wall systems under PAS 9980:2022, covering rainscreen cladding, rendered insulation and concrete panel construction.
EWS1 certificates are in high demand across Barnet's regeneration areas, particularly Colindale and Beaufort Park, where leaseholders need certificates for mortgage and remortgage purposes. We provide timely assessments signed by qualified RICS professionals.
Fire compartmentation surveys in Barnet cover both new developments where compartmentation must meet current standards and older social housing towers where decades of alterations have compromised fire-resisting construction.
Fire door inspections across Barnet's residential buildings ensure compliance with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations. We deliver inspection programmes covering all communal and flat entrance fire doors with clear prioritisation for replacement.

View ServiceYes. New residential buildings above 18 metres in the Colindale regeneration area are subject to the Building Safety Act 2022. These buildings require registration with the Building Safety Regulator and may need FRAEW assessment where external wall systems require verification. We provide proportionate assessments to PAS 9980:2022.
The Grahame Park estate regeneration includes fire safety assessment of existing towers as part of the redevelopment programme. Our FRAEW assessments provide the proportionate external wall appraisal needed for buildings remaining in use during phased regeneration, ensuring resident safety throughout the process.
Yes. We advise building owners and managing agents across Barnet on all aspects of Building Safety Act compliance, including building registration, safety case preparation, mandatory occurrence reporting and the appointment of building safety managers. Our services cover new developments and existing buildings alike.
We can typically commence desktop assessment within one week of instruction and arrange physical inspection within two to three weeks. For a typical Barnet residential tower, the complete FRAEW assessment process from instruction to final report takes three to five weeks, depending on the need for intrusive investigation or material testing.
