Information for residents at Bakersfield

Higgins have been selected by Notting Hill Genesis / Folio to obtain the missing information by scanning every property in the estate, investigate what remediation measures are required and subsequently deliver these works. At this stage, we know that works are required to the window panels (spandrels) and fibrous material (wood wool) on the ceilings of car ports and walkways.

Due to the fire in November, a phase of the project has been brought forward to address the key concerns of the Fire and Rescue Service (London Fire Brigade) and our fire assessor (Savills). These are securing the escape route to the main entrance so that the balcony and internal escapes can be officially removed. Work is also required to ensure separation between flats within the risers (a shaft which travels the height of the building which contain water pipes, electrical wiring and waste pipes), mainly leading to kitchens and bathrooms.
