Is my building cladding and façade safe?

Do you need to change the cladding on your building?

For buildings over 18m with combustible materials, clients are recommended to replace cladding systems and at the same time review the whole of their building to ensure appropriate fire strategy.

For buildings under 18m and buildings without combustible façade systems, some of our clients have opted to review their fire strategy, remove panels and ensure the correct cavity barriers, fire-stops and exit strategies are in place.

Do you have concerns that fire breaks and fire prevention installed below existing façades may not comply with building regulations?
