This year we:

• Checked over 7800 smoke detectors and over 5,600 CO2 detectors
• Carried out over 482 fire risk assessments and began rolling out a 4-year project of
• compartmentation surveys and upgrades to our blocks of flats. Compartmentation means the many physical ways buildings are designed to stop flames, smoke and heat spreading from one part to another.
• Safety inspected and serviced over 4,500 gas boilers, tested all carbon monoxide detectors and carried out around 251 electrical safety inspections.
• Completed electrical and emergency lighting upgrades to 78 communal areas and electrical upgrades to 907 homes. 387 empty properties have also had their electrics updated in preparation for being let.
• Conducted 6-monthly safety inspections to over 200 passenger lifts, hoists and stair lifts and tested the smoke alarms in every property.
• Carried out asbestos re-inspections in over 400 communal areas and ensured every home with asbestos has had an asbestos survey completed.
• Where accessing properties have become problematic, appropriate legal steps have been taken.
• Ensured that just under 1,800 communal footpaths have been risk assessed and are periodically re-inspected.
