Enfield's fire safety requirements centre on the borough's social housing tower blocks across estates in Edmonton, Enfield Highway and Ponders End, alongside emerging residential development in the Meridian Water regeneration area. The borough's post-war towers include buildings above 18 metres that fall within scope of the Building Safety Act 2022.
The Meridian Water development at Edmonton is introducing new high-rise residential buildings to the borough, subject to Building Safety Act gateway requirements from the design stage. Meanwhile, the borough's existing tower blocks require proportionate fire safety assessment under PAS 9980:2022 to address external wall systems installed decades ago.
We provide fire safety consultancy across Enfield for the local authority, housing associations, developers and managing agents, covering FRAEW assessments, EWS1 certificates, compartmentation surveys and fire door inspections.
Enfield's residential towers, from Edmonton estate blocks to Meridian Water developments, require FRAEW assessment of their external wall systems under PAS 9980:2022, covering concrete panel, rendered insulation and modern cladding systems.
Leaseholders in Enfield's residential towers require EWS1 certificates for mortgage and remortgage purposes. We provide assessments and certificates signed by qualified RICS professionals.
