This information is for residents who are affected by the new building safety approach in the Government’s Building Safety Act 2022.

You will be affected if you live in a high-rise residential building – this is a building that either:

• Is 18 metres tall or higher
• Has 7 storeys or more

What Thameswey Housing Ltd (THL) must do to keep buildings safe.

As the Principal Accountable Person, THL must do the following:

• Prevent a building safety risk from happening. Building safety risks are defined as the spread of fire and/or structural failure.
• Reduce the seriousness of an incident if one happens.
• Register existing buildings with Building Safety Regulator (BSR)
• Register all new high-rise residential buildings before occupation.
• Prepare a Building safety Case to show we have assessed all building safety risks and taken reasonable steps to control them.
• Provide a Building Safety Case report to the BSR. This report identifies any major fire and structural hazards in the building. It shows how we are managing these risks correctly.
• Apply for a building assessment certificate when directed by the BSR.

Thameswey Housing Ltd is committed to:

• Providing residents living in our high-rise residential buildings with building safety information about their homes and how we are managing any safety risks. To protect residents, their homes, household members and visitors from potential risk to their health and safety from smoke and fire.
• Keeping residents informed of the steps being taken to keep their buildings safe.
• Working together with residents to keep them and their visitors safe through our resident engagement strategy.
