Compliance, documentation and the Building Safety Regulator
For high-risk buildings under the Building Safety Act, documentation is as important as the works themselves. RAIL produces the pull-test certificates, fixing records, fire-stop installation evidence and photographic surveys your building safety case requires.
Our remediation teams work to current BS 8000 standards and the relevant manufacturer’s installation manuals, supervised on site by an IRATA Level 3.
Awaab’s Law, social housing and resident care
A significant share of cladding remediation sits on social housing. Where high-level damp, condensation or water ingress is being driven by cladding defects, RAIL’s rapid mobilisation and minimal-disruption working pattern supports your obligations under Awaab’s Law.
We notify residents in advance, establish suitable working hours, keep balconies and parking accessible wherever possible, and report progress weekly.
Aligned with our broader commercial and residential service
Cladding remediation rarely happens in isolation. Most projects need windows checked, mastic renewed, balconies inspected and roof edges reviewed at the same time.
RAIL folds those works into the single rope access programme, so you don’t pay for repeated mobilisations and your building comes back as a complete, properly remediated envelope.
Discuss your remediation programme with RAIL
If your building is subject to a remediation order, a fire risk appraisal of the external wall (FRAEW) or a Building Safety Regulator review, contact RAIL today. Our rope access specialists will design the access plan, deliver the remediation safely, document the works to the required standard and minimise disruption to the people living and working below.
