Why does work need to be done to Evenlode?

  • Cladding regulations

    There have been several significant changes to cladding regulations for high-rise buildings in recent years, primarily driven by the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. 

  • Building Safety Act 2022
    Building Safety Act 2022: This act mandates that owners of residential buildings over 18 meters tall must register their properties with a Building Safety Regulator by October 2024. It also requires building control professionals to be assessed and certified by April 2024
  • Refurbishment project
    The scheme was originally built in the 1960’s and comprises of seven linked blocks, each three storeys high. The homes suffered from poorly insulated external walls, leading to challenges regarding heating of the individual homes.  As a result we commissioned a refurbishment project to overclad the blocks with several different external wall systems to improve the insulation and appearance.
