Common Building Issues in Lewisham

Much of Lewisham's flatted Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, 1930s properties and new-build apartments sits below the heights where a FRAEW is routinely expected; our first job is deciding whether a specific block genuinely needs one, so leaseholders are not committed to an appraisal a lower-rise building does not warrant.

Planning and Conservation in Lewisham

For the blocks of flats in Lewisham, the local design controls shape what a FRAEW-led remediation can look like, and we specify systems acceptable to the fire engineer and the case officer alike.

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, conservation and geological sources, together with the statutory and professional framework FRAEW / PAS 9980 appraisals sit in: Lewisham conservation areas; Lewisham Article 4 directions; BGS Geology of Britain viewer; 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.
