EWS and FRAEW Support

We provide specialist support for fire engineers, surveyors, and consultants — safely exposing inspection points, coordinating access, and reinstating walls in line with PAS 9980 methodology. Minimise disruption, avoid repeat visits, and get inspection-ready openings every time.

Trident Facades Surveys is a specialist service operated under Trident Facades Ltd  – a nationwide façade remediation specialist 

Our Surveys team provides specialist intrusive survey services, facilitating the Opening Up of Walls to give fire engineers and surveyors safe and efficient access to key inspection points.

All work follows PAS 9980 methodology, and areas are reinstated using matching materials, ensuring safety, compliance, and accurate data to support FRAEW assessments and EWS1 sign-off.

By combining remediation expertise with intrusive surveys, our integrated approach delivers more accurate, PAS 9980-compliant inspections. Clients can trust that façades are assessed in context, risks are reduced, and projects remain on schedule.

Some of our recent clients include Martin Arnold, Stantec, Osborn Associates, Persimmon Homes, Wain Homes, Tilia Homes, and Clarion Housing, reflecting our experience across both residential and commercial projects nationwide.

 

If an application for BSF or CSS funding is required, our reports are designed to meet Homes England’s criteria. This prevents costly repeat surveys and delays caused by non-compliant documentation.

Let's Work Together

We work alongside fire engineers, surveyors, and consultants to deliver PAS 9980 opening-up works in support of EWS1 and FRAEW projects. If you have upcoming or ongoing inspections and would like to understand how we can support your site investigations, please get in touch. One of our directors will be happy to discuss your requirements and how we can work together.
