Haringey's fire safety requirements are shaped by its significant social housing stock, including the Broadwater Farm estate in Tottenham, one of London's most recognisable post-war housing developments. The estate's concrete towers, built in the 1970s, have undergone extensive fire safety review and remediation, and the borough's wider housing stock includes numerous tower blocks requiring assessment under the Building Safety Act 2022.
The Tottenham Hale regeneration is introducing new high-rise residential development to the borough, adding modern towers with complex external wall systems alongside the existing social housing stock. Meanwhile, the borough's Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Muswell Hill, Crouch End and Hornsey present different fire safety considerations, particularly where converted to flats.
We provide fire safety consultancy across Haringey for the local authority, housing associations, developers and managing agents, covering FRAEW assessments, EWS1 certificates, compartmentation surveys and fire door inspections.
Haringey's residential towers, from Broadwater Farm estate blocks to Tottenham Hale developments, require FRAEW assessment of external wall systems under PAS 9980:2022, covering concrete panel, rendered insulation and modern cladding systems.
Leaseholders across Haringey frequently require EWS1 certificates for mortgage purposes, particularly in buildings above 11 metres with external wall systems. We provide assessments and certificates signed by qualified RICS professionals.
Fire compartmentation in Haringey's social housing towers, including the Broadwater Farm estate, requires detailed survey to identify breaches from decades of service upgrades and tenant alterations. Our surveys provide complete mapping of deficiencies.
Fire door compliance across Haringey's residential estates is a significant requirement under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations. We inspect fire door sets to current standards and provide prioritised replacement programmes.

View ServiceBroadwater Farm has been subject to extensive fire safety assessment and remediation work. The estate's concrete towers have undergone structural and fire safety review, with ongoing programmes to address external wall systems, fire compartmentation and fire doors. Our FRAEW assessments to PAS 9980:2022 can provide current, independent appraisals of external wall fire risk.
Yes. New residential towers above 18 metres at Tottenham Hale are subject to the Building Safety Act 2022 gateway requirements. These buildings require registration with the Building Safety Regulator and may need FRAEW assessment to verify external wall system fire performance.
Yes. Victorian and Edwardian houses converted to flats across Muswell Hill, Crouch End and Hornsey can present fire safety challenges, including inadequate compartmentation between flats, non-compliant fire doors and insufficient escape routes. While these are typically below the Building Safety Act threshold, landlords have fire safety duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
We apply a risk-based prioritisation framework considering building height, external wall system type, fire safety provisions, occupancy vulnerability and compartmentation condition. This allows housing providers to direct limited resources to the buildings presenting the greatest risk, consistent with the PAS 9980:2022 approach.
