Capital PCC was appointed by Barnet Homes to support cladding remediation and fire safety upgrades across a series of mid-rise residential buildings at Coppies Grove, Stewards Holte Walk, Oakleigh Road South and Moss Hall Grove. The programme was initiated following a significant fire incident at one of Barnet’s properties, prompting a reassessment of similar building types.

The works are focused on identifying and resolving construction risks related to façade materials, insulation integrity and fire compartmentation. Capital PCC led weekly inspections and live site reporting to support timely defect escalation, ensure quality assurance, and provide clear oversight to the client throughout delivery.

The scope of this project includes upgrades to fire barriers and vapour control layers, new insulation and a mix of rainscreen cladding and EWI. The project also includes new flat roof coverings, new egress windows and new front doors as part of SHDF funded works that are taking place in tandem with fire safety remediation. Inconsistencies in legacy detailing have been addressed in real-time, supported by continuous coordination with contractors, the retrofit coordinator, fire engineers, and site teams.

The project highlights the importance of detailed on-site forensics following serious safety incidents. Capital PCC’s methodology- rooted in photographic evidence, annotated reporting, and continuous site engagement- has helped Barnet Homes maintain pace while ensuring that remediation decisions are grounded in regulatory compliance and real-world conditions.

Capital PCC’s methodical and responsive approach has enabled Barnet Homes to maintain progress while strengthening fire safety and regulatory compliance. The tailored design has also created warmer and healthier homes that have been, in part, funded by SHDF. The programme supports long-term resilience across the estate and reflects the client’s commitment to proactive remediation following a critical safety event.
