Smithfield, Burlington and Venerable House – Fire Safety Works

We're working in partnership with the original developers of these three blocks to remove cladding from each block. We're waiting for approval of Gateway 2 Building Regulation Approval applications for the works from the Building Safety Regulator for Smithfield and Burlington House. A similar application for the works on Venerable House is due to be submitted shortly.

Whilst work to remove the flammable cladding is implemented, waking watches were implemented within all three blocks to manage fire safety risks. In the case of Smithfield and Burlington House, these waking watches have ceased as the new fire alarm has been installed and the fire strategy for both blocks has changed from “stay put” to “simultaneous evacuation.”

 A waking watch remains in place on Venerable House whilst we complete the work to install a fire alarm and change the fire strategy of the block. Work is due to finish soon and residents will be notified.

  • Timescale: Current estimate for cladding remediation works to commence on site Mid 2026
