At Trident Facades Surveys, every EWS1 assessment is carried out by fully accredited professionals, including Chartered Fire Engineers (IFE, CEng) and Chartered Surveyors (RICS, CABE, CIOB) with full professional indemnity cover, ensuring your assessment is compliant, recognised, defensible, and delivered in line with RICS, UK Finance, and PAS 9980:2022 standards.

Everything needed to get your EWS1 Completed

EWS1 work only causes problems when it is not properly coordinated. We manage the process end-to-end so that intrusive works, inspections, and fire engineer review all happen in the correct order, without delays or repeated site visits. This ensures less disruption for residents, fewer delays on site, no coordination gaps between trades and engineers, and a clear, efficient route through to final sign-off.

Where inspection is required, we carry out controlled, careful opening-up to expose key parts of the external wall, including cladding and façade build-ups, fire barriers and cavity protection, and internal junctions and wall interfaces. All areas are fully reinstated afterwards, leaving the building safe, tidy, and compliant.

This ensures a clear, fully managed EWS1 process that delivers fire engineer sign-off, lender-accepted EWS1 documentation, a compliant and structured route to completion, and minimal disruption to residents.
