FRAEW / PAS 9980 in Kennington

FRAEW / PAS 9980 across Kennington

FRAEW and PAS 9980 work in Kennington is evidence-led. We review available external wall information, identify gaps and coordinate competent professional input where the building scope requires it.

PAS 9980 is the risk-based methodology used for external wall appraisals. Our role is to support the evidence review, site investigation scope, reporting brief and next-step advice for buildings in Kennington, linking findings to EWS1 requests, facade investigations and remediation planning where appropriate.

Common Building Issues in Kennington

A Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls applies to flatted buildings, so in Kennington it is the blocks of flats among its Georgian terraces, Victorian houses, social housing estates and mansion blocks - not the houses - where one is considered, and then usually only where height or external materials put a building in scope.

Planning and Conservation in Kennington

Where a FRAEW does lead to external works on a Kennington block, the borough's conservation and design controls apply to the remediation: replacement render, cladding or windows can need consent, and we specify to answer the fire strategy and the local position together.

Getting to Kennington

Our surveyors cover Kennington and the surrounding Lambeth area. The area is accessible via Kennington (Northern line), Oval (Northern line), and our team carries out regular inspections across Kennington SE11.

Kennington sits inside our London coverage, so an instruction here is quoted on the same published scale as the rest of London rather than on a separate local rate.

Typical fees: FRAEW / PAS 9980 instructions in London typically start from £5,000 plus VAT; we confirm a fixed fee after scoping the building and the brief.

The FRAEW & PAS 9980 External Wall Fire Risk Appraisal London page sets out the full scope behind that figure.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning and conservation sources, together with the statutory and professional framework FRAEW / PAS 9980 appraisals sit in: Lambeth conservation area profiles; Lambeth Article 4 directions; Building Safety Act 2022; Fire Safety Act 2021; Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. These sources support the area context; they do not replace inspection of a named building or a fire-risk assessment, and the exact building-safety and planning position should be confirmed for the address.
