How a remediation package reads on site, from the as-found elevation to the recorded handover.
ExistingThe as-found elevation: weathered cassettes, open joints, the survey zone marked for opening-up. OpenedPanels drawn back under controlled opening-up: membrane, insulation, carrier grid and cavity barrier datums exposed for the assessors. - Breather membrane
- Mineral-wool insulation
- Carrier grid and brackets
- Cavity barrier on the floor datum
RebuiltThe specified assembly reinstated as one system, barriers seated on the floor datums, new skin closed out. RecordedEvery concealed layer photographed and referenced before cover, by bay, level and datum, into the handover file.

Tender pricing record
Evidence states are shown as recorded. Tender and award records show scopes we have priced, designed or secured; they are not presented as completed installation. Records without public imagery are held in the project archive.
Investigation and opening-up.
Controlled opening-up so assessors can record the as-built condition. Positions are protected, kept weather-tight and reinstated, and the findings are recorded for the design team.
Opening-up
Controlled opening-up so the appointed assessors can record the as-built condition. Each position is protected, kept weather-tight and reinstated.
Produces an opening-up schedule and location records.
Design team coordination
Buildability and interface input to the remediation specification that the project’s designers and fire engineers produce and own.
Produces agreed details and sample sign-offs.
Strip, rebuild and fire barriers.
The existing system comes off in sequence and the specified assembly goes back as one system, with every elevation closed and weather-tight at the end of the day.
Controlled strip
Sequenced removal of the existing system, planned so every elevation is closed and weather-tight at the end of each working day.
Produces a strip sequence and daily closure records.
Specified rebuild
Barriers, insulation, membranes, carrier grid and the new skin installed strictly to the issued specification, as one buildable system rather than separate trades.
Produces installation QA sheets per bay and level.
Fire and cavity barriers
Remedial works to existing cladding systems, built to the remediation specification issued by the project design team, with barrier lines reinstated and recorded at floor zones, openings and compartment boundaries.
Full recladding
Full strip and recover of elevations, including complete cladding replacement: new support grid, cavity barriers, insulation, membranes and panels rebuilt as one system, sequenced so occupied elevations are closed and weather-tight between shifts.
Recladding, cladding remediation and investigation are delivered today as packages from this page. Dedicated service pages will follow.
What gets recorded before it is covered.
Every stage produces something the project team can hold: a record, a sign-off, a file. If it gets covered, it gets recorded first.
Opening-up record
Position, build-up found, protection and reinstatement, one sheet per opened bay.
Kept with the opening-up schedule and location records from investigation.
Cavity barrier photo record
Each barrier line photographed on its datum before cover, referenced by bay, level and datum.
Every layer is photographed and referenced before it is covered, so nothing concealed is unrecorded. Together these make the concealed-works photo register.
Stage QA sheet
Works signed off stage by stage against the specification, tied to the commercial record: the stage QA and valuation sheet.
Installation QA sheets are kept per bay and level.
O&M file
The record set compiled with O&M input into the handover file, ready for the project’s own assessment and certification route.
The compiled handover pack goes to the project team for the project file.
These are the formats a package is documented in. The records themselves stay with each project’s file.
Who does what.
We deliver the works: opening-up, strip, rebuild, fire and cavity barriers, and the records, built to the issued specification.
The appointed design team and fire engineer produce and own the remediation specification and the test regime. We give buildability and interface input.
Assessors and statutory authorities carry out the assessment and certification. EWS1 and fire-engineering sign-off stay with them, and we say so before anyone asks.
The responsibility matrix.
Five activities, three parties, stated before anyone asks.

What stays with the assessors.
- We do not issue EWS1 certificates. Those remain with qualified assessors.
- We do not provide independent fire-engineering sign-off. Packages are built to the specification that fire engineers and designers produce.
- Water and fire testing is coordinated with qualified specialists where the project requires it.
- CHAS and Constructionline support contractor credibility. They are not a substitute for fire engineering, EWS1 or statutory assessment.
