Last month's key steps:

  • We have completed removing all the current external cladding system and installed new fire-rated system to match the existing look of the block
  • Completed the Y boards and insulation works, including the EPDM water and fireproofing works

Next month's key steps:

  • We are commencing with installations of the new claddings in all elevations, including the abseiling on the northeast elevation
  • We are currently in the process of fire remediation works on all external gas flues, kitchen and bathroom extracts fans and flexy ducts
  • Continuing with the installation of all Cavity and Fire Barriers as well as the Duo Slab Insulation behind the new cladding

Questions:

Q: When will the external works finish?
A: We continue with the facade work, thank you for all of you who have allowed access to isolate your boilers so we can work safely around the flues, we cannot emphasise enough how important this is. If we can't shut your boiler off so our operatives can work round your flue safely then we cannot progress, so thank you for your understanding. As stated, we will need further shutdowns so we will be in touch over the course of the coming weeks, once more thank you for making this a relatively painless experience.

We expect to see more noticeable change over the next month, a long time coming we appreciate but it should start looking like the building you knew in no time at all.

Q: Are you still planning to finish this project by the end of July?
A: Hopefully, we are hoping to be finished by the end of July 2024. A special thanks to the entire team and Site Manager, John Loftus for their dedication and efforts in pushing the completion date to July 2024.

Q: I have seen a couple of workmen smoking around the site.
A: There is a designated smoking area marked on site for the convenience and safety of everyone.

Q: When are you going to start work on the balcony?
A: Balcony works will commence towards the end of the project timeline.

Q: When you are mentioning fire remediation works, what do you actually mean?
A: Fire remediation works involve external enhancements, fireproofing measures, and the replacement of extract ducting to ensure the safety and security of our residents.
