Frequently asked questions

Eligibility depends on factors including the building's height, its use, the nature of the external wall system, and who is responsible for repairs. Rather than guess, complete our free enquiry form and we will give you a straight answer based on the current scheme rules.

Our initial eligibility review is free and carries no obligation. If you proceed, we agree a transparent fee before any work begins.

Yes — that is exactly who we built this service for. Your directors make the decisions; we do the technical and administrative work and report back in plain English.

A Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls (carried out under PAS 9980) is the specialist assessment that determines whether your external walls present a fire risk requiring remediation. It is central to any funding application. We commission FRAEWs from qualified, independent fire engineers on our clients' behalf.

Very often, yes. Many BSF applications stalled for want of information or follow-up, and a large number have been transferred into the Cladding Safety Scheme. We can review where your application stands and take over its management.

The funding schemes are designed to protect leaseholders from the cost of fixing unsafe cladding, and the Building Safety Act provides additional statutory protections for qualifying leaseholders. Every building's circumstances differ, and we'll explain what applies to yours. (We are consultants, not solicitors, and where legal advice is needed we will say so.)

That has changed. A new grant scheme for buildings under 11 metres opens for applications between 17 August and 9 October 2026. The window is short, so preparation matters — get in touch now.

It varies with the building and the quality of evidence available at the outset. What we can promise is that your application will never sit idle on our watch: chasing progress is a core part of what you pay us for.

Absolutely. We regularly work under instruction from managing agents, and we're flexible about how visible we are to your client — full partnership or behind the scenes.
