Following a slow reaction to the government ban on the use of combustible materials in the external wall structure of new high-rise builds, the External Wall Fire Review (EWS) was launched a year later in December 2019. With the aim of de-risking high-rise residential buildings, the EWS Review, and accompanying EWS1 form, involves the assessment of a property to determine the extent of refurbishment required. With many people trapped in dangerous properties whilst waiting for a completed ESW1 form, EnviroBuild strive to aid the nation-wide refurbishment of balconies so that homeowners are able to sell or insure their flats, and finally move on.

EnviroBuild’s market-leading aluminium decking and paving ranges can be directly retrofitted onto existing timber or WPC decked balconies, offering an efficient and hassle-free solution. With options for clipless systems, built-in drainage, traditional or continuous surface aesthetics, as well as a range of neutral colours, EnviroBuild can supply the perfect fire-rated external flooring system for any balcony retrofit project.
