From September 2026, we will begin a schedule of improving the façade and installing cavity barriers in various areas of the building, including:
- Replacement of external wall insulation and cladding across the building's façade with new, fire-safety-compliant materials, which will require scaffolding to be erected around the building for the duration of the works.
This process will serve to complement our existing comprehensive building and fire safety management systems, which include:
- Fire and smoke detection systems installed throughout the building, which is tested regularly and connected to a centralised fire panel that enables immediate pinpointing of any activation.
- Heat and smoke detection equipment fitted in every resident room, living and communal area.
- Fire blankets in kitchens and studios.
- Professional management teams on-site 24/7.
These installations will improve Canvas The Heights fire safety standards, helping to keep everyone safer.
