There is a total of 1,183 of these doors on Barnet Homes properties.<\/strong> All affected
\nresidents have been written to confirming the steps are being taken to replace the
\ndoor-sets, whilst also confirming the Governments advice that the risk posed
\nremains low.<\/p>\n26.In addition, Barnet Homes has arranged for the fire risk assessments to blocks
\ncontaining these doors be updated in light of this matter. This will be completed by
\n29th June 2018. These fire risk assessments will form the basis for prioritising the
\ndoor replacement programme.<\/p>\n
27.The estimated costs for replacing these doors is in the region of \u00a31.5m<\/strong>, however Barnet Homes are engaged in positive discussions with the contracted party that
\ninstalled the doors in order to mitigate any cost implications to the Council<\/p>\n

Worryingly, the same document details a fire at a block of 20 flats in Graham Park Estate.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n18.In early April 2018, a serious fire<\/strong> occurred at a small block on the Grahame Park<\/strong>
\nEstate.<\/strong> Although nobody was hurt, the whole block of 20 flats is now uninhabitable,<\/strong>
\nand residents have been provided with alternative accommodation. Following this
\nfire, Barnet Homes instructed an intrusive survey of the communal areas of the
\nblock which highlighted the need for some improvements to the fire separation<\/strong>
\nmeasures within areas not generally accessible through the Fire Risk Assessment
\nprocess, such as within enclosed riser ducts and suspended ceiling void spaces.
\nSurveys were undertaken<\/strong> to blocks of a similar construction on the same estate,
\nwhich highlighted the need for similar improvements<\/strong>. Arrangements have been
\nmade to implement works to address these matters.<\/p>\n19.Whilst the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 focuses on communal
\nareas, Barnet Homes have piloted some surveys which go over and above these
\nrequirements and include areas within dwellings. Within some properties areas for
\nfurther improvements have been identified of a similar nature to that of the highrise
\nproperties.<\/p>\n
20.It is therefore recommended that Barnet Homes extend its programme of fire safety\u00a0<\/strong>works to include all blocks of flats.<\/strong><\/p>\nThis would include;<\/p>\n
\uf0b7 Surveying of sample properties internally as part of an extended fire risk
\nassessment programme<\/p>\n
\uf0b7 The installation of enhanced fire detection and alarm systems within all
\ntenanted flats.<\/p>\n
\uf0b7 That measures identified as part of the extended fire risk assessment surveys
\nare undertaken through a programme of works to be developed as the surveys
\nprogress.<\/p>\n
21.Until the surveys have been undertaken to all blocks it is difficult to accurately<\/strong>
\nestimate the cost of undertaking the arising works.<\/strong> The next fire safety update to
\nthe Housing Committee will include more a detailed and costed programme along
\nwith proposals for funding these works.<\/p>\n22.Barnet Homes will make use of existing capital budgets to address any urgent
\nworks identified that need to be dealt with prior to the October 2018 Housing
\nCommittee up to a value of \u00a3200,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
