EWS1 Form Signed Certification

The External Wall System 1 (EWS1) form is a critical document in the UK, particularly for residential buildings. Introduced after the Grenfell Tower fire, it plays a vital role in ensuring fire safety by assessing the external wall system’s ability to meet fire regulations.

Buildings exceeding 18 meters or six storeys with external wall systems containing combustible materials, like Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding, typically require an EWS1 form. Having a valid EWS1 form offers numerous benefits. It provides peace of mind to residents, lenders, and valuers, assuring them the building adheres to fire safety regulations. A valid EWS1 form can significantly improve a property’s marketability, especially for high-rise buildings. Most importantly, it demonstrates compliance with current fire safety regulations.

EWS1 Surveyors Limited offers a comprehensive EWS1 form assessment service. Our highly qualified fire safety professionals will conduct a thorough inspection of your building’s external wall system, meticulously assess the combustibility of materials used, and evaluate the fire safety of the cladding system. Following this, a detailed report outlining the findings is prepared. If the external wall system meets regulations, a signed EWS1 form will be issued.
