Improving fire safety measures at Doughty’s Court

Making sure our customers are kept safe in their homes is our top priority. As part of this, we’re pleased to say that we’ll be carrying out a series of fire safety improvement works within your building and individual flats.

We’re carrying out these improvements as part of our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of safety and security for all our customers.

We do want to reassure you that our current fire safety measures are robust and effective, but as part of our proactive approach to safety, we’ve identified opportunities to further improve these measures to give you even greater peace of mind.

Some of the work we’ll be doing includes:

• Replacing fire doors to your home.
• Enhancing the fire resistance of walls and floors by adding fire-resistant materials or constructing fire-rated partitions.
• Improving ventilation systems.

We’re currently working to appoint a contractor to carry out this work, and we expect it to begin in the summer of 2024. We’ll keep you updated once we’ve chosen a contractor and when we know when work will start.

We’ll also provide you with more information about the specific work that is going to be done to your home, and answer any questions you may have.

During the work, we’ll do our best to minimise any disruption caused to you.
