Inside EWS1 Remedial Works: What Happens After the Inspection?

---

For many building managers and leaseholders, the EWS1 process can feel overwhelming — especially once issues are flagged. But what actually happens after the inspection?

Here’s a straightforward breakdown of the next steps, and how R2R helps get things back on track.

Understanding the Defects

EWS1 inspections can uncover a range of fire safety issues, including:

• Missing or poorly installed cavity barriers

• Combustible materials in the external wall

• Defective firestopping around service penetrations

• Unprotected voids and breaches in compartmentation

  
  

Each of these can affect a building’s fire risk rating.

Planning the Remedial Work

Once defects are confirmed, R2R work with Fire Engineers to:

• Scope the remedial work

• Provide costed, practical solutions

• Minimise disruption for residents

We tailor the plan to the building’s needs — whether that means internal firestopping works or full external wall remediation.

Specialist Installation

Our trained operatives install third-party certified systems, ensuring:

• Correct reinstatement of fire barriers

• Full traceability of materials used

• All works meet Approved Document B and manufacturer guidance

We don’t cut corners, because safety doesn’t allow it.

• Detailed photographic records
