Urgent Fire Risk Assessment of External Walls (FRAEW) Replacement Programme

The scope includes the review, replacement and

completion of FRAEW assessments for identified residential properties where previous

assessments have been found to be inconsistent, incomplete, or unreliable. Works

include, but are not limited to:

• Desktop review of existing fire safety documentation, drawings and historical

FRAEW reports

• On site inspections of external wall systems, balconies, attachments and

associated interfaces

• Review and interpretation of intrusive investigation findings, where available,

including cavity barrier provision, fire stopping and material composition

• Assessment of fire spread risk, combustibility, and mitigating factors in line with

PAS 9980 methodology

• Preparation and issue of compliant FRAEW reports, including clear risk

conclusions and recommendations to support risk management and remediation

decision making

• Engagement with internal stakeholders to support urgent risk queries and

regulatory assurance requirements

The service also includes prioritisation of urgent FRAEW requests, leveraging existing

building knowledge gained through previous investigations and completed assessments

to expedite report delivery and avoid duplication of surveys. The outputs will provide

Peabody with consistent, evidence based FRAEW documentation to support statutory

compliance, enforcement readiness, asset management and life safety decision making.
