EWS1 Survey
In order to obtain an ESW1 form, you’ll need an EWS1 survey taking place on your property. An EWS1 survey, or an external wall survey, is an important assessment that helps identify potential fire risks in a building’s external wall system inclusive of balconies and other external projections. It’s a survey that is typically required by lenders or insurers as part of the building safety certification process.
At Appraise Fire Engineering (AFE Consultants), we understand that the safety of residents is of utmost importance to building owners, which is why we take the EWS1 survey process very seriously.
