We are the specialist survey team for Trident Facades, managing the entire EWS1 certification process from start to finish. Whether you’re a property owner, developer, or managing agent, we ensure a smooth, compliant, and efficient assessment process, eliminating delays and unnecessary complications.
Our team takes care of everything—from initial surveys and intrusive investigations to access arrangements, permits, and final fire engineer sign-off. With a nationwide network of accredited fire engineers (IFE, RICS, CEng), we guarantee full compliance with PAS 9980:2022 standards and all current fire safety regulations.
Understanding external walls, complex cladding systems, and fire safety compliance requires more than just theoretical knowledge—it demands hands-on construction and engineering experience. Our group structure gives us a unique, end-to-end advantage across the entire lifecycle of a building.
Trident Facades (Façade Remediation Specialists): A leading nationwide building envelope and façade remediation specialist. The core business focuses on main contracting, specifically the removal and replacement of non-compliant building and cladding materials with safe, A1/A2 fire-rated products. This includes rainscreen cladding, external wall insulation (EWI) render, brickwork and brick slips, glazing, and curtain walling.
Trident Facades Surveys (The Investigation & Compliance Arm): Operating as our specialist surveying and compliance division, we act as the dedicated delivery partner for building owners, managing agents, and fire engineers. We manage complex intrusive investigations, PAS 9980-aligned opening-up works, and Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls (FRAEW), ensuring that every assessment feeds cleanly into the EWS1 certification process.
By combining hands-on remediation engineering with specialist façade surveying, we bridge the gap between inspection and practical construction reality.
Real-World Build Knowledge: Because our roots are embedded in actual façade building and remediation, our teams instantly recognize hidden construction defects, poorly installed fire breaks, and material deviations that standard surveying firms might miss.
Seamless Opening-Up & Reinstatement: Intrusive surveys require opening up external walls. We handle the entire process cleanly—from precise, targeted opening-up to exact material reinstatement.
Defensible, Accurate Assessments: From initial desktop reviews and invasive surveys to final fire engineer sign-offs and actual remediation work if a B2 rating is found, we provide a unified, friction-free route, eliminating delays and finger-pointing.
Every EWS1 survey is assessed and signed off by fully accredited professionals, including Chartered Fire Engineers (IFE, CEng) and Chartered Surveyors (RICS, CABE, CIOB), with full professional indemnity cover. Assessments are delivered in line with RICS, UK Finance, and PAS 9980:2022 standards, providing compliant, recognised and defensible reporting.
