Safe, Compliant, and Cost-Effective Cladding Replacement

OCL specialises in remediation works, providing full removal and replacement of non-compliant cladding systems. With a substantial focus on safety, compliance, and minimal disruption to residents, OCL’s remediation services ensure that buildings meet current safety regulations without compromising on aesthetics or functionality.

Our turnkey solutions cover every aspect of cladding remediation, from access and security management to project completion, offering clients a seamless and stress-free process.

What Are Remediation Works?

Remediation works involve the identification and removal of non-compliant cladding systems—often due to fire safety concerns—followed by the installation of approved, compliant alternatives.

These projects are essential for buildings that fail to meet safety standards, particularly following the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy, which led to stricter UK building regulations around fire safety and cladding materials.

What Are Remediation Works?

Our Remediation Process

OCL provides a comprehensive approach to cladding remediation, ensuring that all aspects of the project are handled by our in-house experts. Our process includes:

Initial Assessment

We conduct thorough assessments to identify any cladding materials that fail to meet current safety standards. This includes examining the fire performance of the cladding and determining the most effective remediation strategy.

Removal of Non-Compliant Cladding

Our fully qualified facade installation teams specialise in the 
careful removal of unsafe cladding materials. This process is carried out with minimal disruption to building occupants, especially in 
live environments.

Installation of Compliant Cladding

We replace the removed materials with high-quality, compliant alternatives that not only meet current safety regulations but are also cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing. Our solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring longevity and durability.

Access, Licensing, and Security

As part of our turnkey solution, OCL manages all necessary access equipment, such as scaffolding, hoisting, and cradles, as well as any required permits and licences. We also provide secure hoarding and on-site security to ensure the safety of both workers and occupants.

In-House Resident Liaison

We understand the importance of keeping building owners and occupants informed throughout the remediation process. Our dedicated resident liaison teams are on hand to communicate updates, handle queries, and ensure minimal disruption to daily life.

Expertise in Working in Live Environments

A key aspect of OCL’s remediation work is our expertise in working in live environments. This means that we can carry out complex remediation projects on occupied buildings with minimal disturbance to residents or business operations.

Our extensive experience allows us to effectively plan and execute recladding works without compromising on the safety or comfort of building occupants, whilst ensuring our communications with residents and businesses remain first class through our investment in a Resident Liaison Officer, who works across multiple sites.

Experience with Government-Funded Cladding Remediation Projects

OCL is one of the few contractors in the UK to have successfully completed cladding remediation projects funded by both the Building Safety Fund (BSF) and the Private Sector Cladding Remediation Fund (PSCRF). These funds were established to address unsafe cladding in high-rise residential buildings following the Grenfell Tower fire.

Our proven track record demonstrates our capability in handling large-scale, government-backed remediation projects, adhering to the strict guidelines and timelines set by these funding bodies.
