Hampstead includes residential buildings with external wall systems requiring assessment and potential remediation under the Building Safety Act 2022. Leaseholders and building owners in affected properties can access government funding through the Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) and Building Safety Fund (BSF) to cover the cost of necessary remediation works.
We provide independent cladding remediation advisory services across Hampstead, guiding building owners through CSS and BSF funding applications, technical assessment, procurement of remediation contractors and ongoing contract administration throughout the project.
Our RICS regulated practice ensures that building owners and leaseholders in Hampstead receive independent professional advice at every stage of the cladding remediation process.
We prepare and manage Cladding Safety Scheme and Building Safety Fund applications for Hampstead buildings, handling eligibility assessment, documentation and liaison with the scheme administrators to secure government funding for remediation works.
Our technical assessment of external wall systems in Hampstead follows PAS 9980:2022, identifying the extent of remediation required and developing specifications for replacement cladding systems that meet current fire safety standards and Building Regulations.
We manage the competitive procurement of specialist cladding remediation contractors for Hampstead projects, preparing tender documentation, evaluating submissions and recommending appointment to ensure value for money and technical competence.
We administer remediation contracts across Hampstead from commencement through to practical completion, managing variations, certifying payments, monitoring quality on site and ensuring that works are completed to specification and programme.

View ServiceEligibility depends on the building's height, the type of external wall system and whether unsafe cladding has been identified. Residential buildings above 11 metres with unsafe cladding may qualify for the Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS), while those above 18 metres may access Building Safety Fund (BSF) grants. We assess your building and prepare the application documentation.
The process begins with a FRAEW assessment under PAS 9980:2022 to identify the scope of remediation required. We then prepare CSS or BSF funding applications, develop remediation specifications, manage the procurement of specialist contractors and administer the construction contract through to completion and sign-off.
Timelines vary depending on building height, complexity and the funding route. A typical CSS-funded project takes 12 to 24 months from application to completion of works. BSF-funded projects may be shorter where funding is already approved. We provide realistic programme estimates at the outset and manage the process to minimise delays.
The government's CSS and BSF schemes are designed to protect leaseholders from remediation costs for qualifying buildings. Where buildings are eligible, the full cost of cladding remediation is covered by government funding. We help building owners establish eligibility and prepare compliant applications to secure funding, ensuring leaseholders are not left to bear the cost.
