FAQs

FRAEW / PAS 9980 FAQs for Ladbroke Grove

What is a FRAEW for a building in Ladbroke Grove?

A FRAEW is a Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls. It reviews the external wall system under PAS 9980 and helps duty holders understand risk and proportionate next steps.

Is PAS 9980 always required in Ladbroke Grove?

Not always. Whether PAS 9980 is appropriate depends on the building, external wall construction, existing evidence and the question being asked by the client, lender or duty holder.

Who completes the appraisal?

The appraisal must be completed by a competent professional for the specific building and scope. Where specialist fire engineering input is required, we coordinate it rather than implying it is automatically covered.

Ladbroke Grove has Victorian terraces with communal gardens. That local stock can affect opening-up strategy, access, heritage constraints and the likelihood that external wall records are incomplete.
