The Guardian speaks to us on fire safety issues

Our CEO Matt Hodges-Long explained to The Guardian that fire safety issues in mid-rise* blocks were overlooked due to the post-Grenfell focus on the risk assessment and remediation of high-rise* buildings.

For years after Grenfell, industry professionals and government policymakers have debated the relationship between risk and building height.

*Residential building heights in England
High-Rise (Over 18m in height or over 6 storeys)
Mid-Rise (11m – 18m in height)
Low-Rise (below 11m in height)
