Abstract

This research investigates the current exterior refurbishment strategies for high- rise council estates with the aim to enhance fire regulations and reduce risk of fire in buildings. This research outlines the main causes of the catastrophic Grenfell Tower fire and the current Building Regulations that were enforced during the time of its exterior refurbishment (i.e. replacement of fabric/cladding). Potential recommendations/enhancements made subsequent to the Grenfell Tower fire, proposed by the relevant institutions and its professionals, are analysed. A case study based in the borough of Westminster is then analysed in order to assess its proposed exterior refurbishment strategy in relation to compliance with the building regulations and safety requirements. The results reveal that although the refurbishment strategies have improved, there are some defects in the enforcement of the regulatory systems that should be addressed.
