Before installing the new cladding system, our Design and Build contract saw us co-ordinating specialists and experts to deliver a suitable cladding design. Detailed intrusive surveys helped diagnose the original substrate and structure of each block. This ensured the new cladding would be compliant and protect the building and residents in the event of fire and against the elements and noise pollution.
What we did
Award-winning 18,000 m2 cladding replacement programme ensures safety of 440 families in 5 high rise towers.

Compliant and safe, our new cladding system met BR 135 classification (tested and certified to BS 8414), addressed the risk of rapid fire spread (to enable suitable means of escape for 440 families) whilst providing thermal and acoustic insulation and weather-proofing against the elements of the Solent river. It also offered maintenance-free envelopes aesthetically sympathetic to the original block designs.
