Question:Our building was given an EWS1 certificate with a B1 or A1 rating, but this has been downgraded, what can we do?Answer: Ask your managing agent for a copy of the Intrusive Survey Reports for your building which lead to both the previous and downgraded EWS1 rating. It will help you understand what new information came to light. Ask your managing agent for a copy of the Fire Risk Assessment for your building. It will help you see what risks have been identified and what actions have been recommended to address the risks. Ask your managing agent if they will be applying to the Building Safety Fund to pay for any remediation work needed.
