INTRO

As societies advance, the demand for more secure buildings is on the rise. Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, both local authorities and private property owners must address noncompliant safety risks posed by facades, necessitating recladding efforts. Leveraging our robust construction industry background and strategic supply chain partnerships, we bring significant expertise to recladding projects, ensuring strict safety compliance and adept navigation of complex project environments. GSIM offers a comprehensive track record in specialist cladding and façade solutions, providing Developers, Housing Associations, and Main Contractors a streamlined source for non-combustible recladding projects.

What is Recladding and why is recladding a legal requirement if required?

Recladding, the process of replacing a building's external facade, involves creating a ventilated space between the original wall and the new facade. This design allows for improved airflow, effectively removing moisture from the building and enhancing its thermal performance.

The tragic events at Grenfell Tower were primarily attributed to the composite panels with a polythene core used for cladding the building. The specific cladding material played a pivotal role in the rapid spread of the fire, bringing significant attention to the importance of recladding projects. This underscores the crucial need to rigorously adhere to safety protocols in any recladding construction endeavour. It is estimated that there are still numerous buildings, both in the public and private sectors, where extensive efforts are required to remove and replace non-compliant cladding, emphasising the urgency of addressing this issue.

GSIM has combined management experience of over 100 years of business in façade and building management sector, which we are immensely proud of. Being committed to client satisfaction has enabled us to put our heart into making buildings not just houses, but also homes. We adhere to all relevant fire and safety standards, whilst working in complex and restricted environments, in the most challenging densely-populated buildings in our city centres.
