Owners and occupiers have a legal duty to ensure that their building fabric is maintained and safe.

If an injury or damage is caused to a 3rd party or property due to a fault in the facade then a liability arises which is unlikely to be covered by the owner or occupiers building insurance.

To comply with the terms and conditions of the policy you must be able to demonstrate that you understand the relevant maintenance requirements of the building.

Failure to maintain the facade and therefore meet the necessary requirements introduces a significant financial risk and also voids any manufacturer’s warranties in relation to new buildings projects.

Having a robust maintenance regime in place for your façade will provide substantial cost benefits over the life span of the building.
