Keeping you safe in your home: our Fire Safety Programme

As part of our work to continually improve your homes and provide high quality, safe places for you to live, we’re carrying out a range of fire safety work in our blocks of flats over the next 18 months.

New fire doors; work to contain and stop any fire spreading, should it occur in our homes, plus sprinkler systems; new bin chutes; and upgrades to bin stores are among the things that you will benefit from.

We’re investing £5.6m in eight key areas. This will pay for:

• New communal fire doors in our blocks with three or more storeys and new flat entrance doors where needed. 
• Fire stopping work to contain any fire and stop it from spreading.
• Improving fire detection within customer’s homes (flats within communal blocks)
• Sprinkler system installation in high rise tower blocks to control any fire and reduce damage to homes.
• Bin chute and bin store refurbishments to help control any fires
• Increased ventilation in communal areas in blocks to help manage smoke
• Surveys to external wall insulation systems on our blocks to confirm its condition
