Ealing's residential building stock includes post-war tower blocks across social housing estates in Acton, Southall and Northolt, alongside growing numbers of new mid-rise and high-rise residential developments in Acton and Ealing town centre. The Crossrail effect has accelerated residential development in the borough, introducing modern towers that require fire safety assessment under the Building Safety Act 2022.
The borough's social housing towers, many built in the 1960s and 1970s, feature external wall systems that now require proportionate assessment under PAS 9980:2022. Meanwhile, new developments around Ealing Broadway and Acton stations present modern fire safety challenges with curtain walling and rainscreen cladding systems.
