Update 22.08.2025

Thank you for your continued patience, regarding the delays at Banstead Road. We still awaiting some key items to be closed out relating to the building safety works, and there is still some building safety documentation needed before we can submit to our internal Building Safety Team for sign-off. These items include:

Recommended for fire safety signage to be installed in the communal areas.
To receive the fire stopping reports and review these.
Proof of servicing from Thornsett for the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Thornsett have confirmed that servicing has been completed and have committed to providing a service report, which we will use for submission to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR).
The Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) identified a low-risk issue due to the riser cupboard keyholes. We are seeking confirmation that either:
a) no further action is required, or
b) installing a blanking plate inside the riser cupboard will sufficiently mitigate the risk.
Lift Witness Testing Report – This is pending following the completion of some identified snagging items.

Taking the above into consideration, below is an anticipated timeline to occupation:

W/C 8^th September –Technical team to check all received documentation and prepare the final building safety pack for sign off

W/C 29^th September –Building Safety team to review building safety pack for sign off
