Richmond House Residents

Residents have settled our legal claim against the developer & building owner of Richmond House. The terms are confidential. We hope our success in reaching a settlement will help other residents & leaseholders in buildings with similar building safety issues to Richmond House.

My sons building is having every fire door changed for a new identical one...because the old ones have a spy hole in. Rip off

"Uncertainty about the definition of a fire door... also no industry-wide standards for maintenance, servicing and refurbishment of fire doors in existing buildings, which creates a regulatory void." ➡️ which is exploited by co's charging a fortune for testing & replacing doors

Great to meet @RichParkerLab @WestMids_CA @WestMidsFire and @BhamCityCouncil yesterday to discuss the Local Remediation Acceleration Plan. Leaseholders and residents must be placed at the heart of remediation. @AngelaRayner @AlexJJNorris @EOCS_Official wmca.org.uk/what-we-do/hou…

The leaseholders, who live in a block of shared ownership flats..built in 2008, were told in 2012 service charges would rise to include 24-hour concierge& maintenance of the communal garden used by the luxury blocks next door, which they could not access. mylondon.news/news/south-lon…

‘Second-class citizens’? Finding out how tenants feel they are treated dlvr.it/TM6BfD #ukhousing

Just watched ‘Grenfell Uncovered’ on Netflix. Sad. Shocked. And very very angry. If you can, try to watch it. Those responsible - and there are many corporate and political figures - must face justice.

"An arsonist set a huge Nottingham block on fire. No one knew it was covered in combustible cladding." The freeholder is E&M, managing agent is RMG. Perhaps they can explain why residents apparently haven't been given information about their unsafe homes. nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

Quite shocking to hear fire safety remedial work is so slow due to combining it with other improvement works that aren’t life-critical. Good to finally see change of approach in Bristol to prioritise making homes safe. How many other councils nationally where this is happening?

🏚️ More than 8 years after Grenfell, there are 161 buildings in Wales with safety issues that developers are responsible for fixing. Work hasn’t begun on more than two-thirds of them.

We were called to this fire on Saturday in #Hanwell, which had been caused by the failure of an e-bike battery. Thankfully no one was hurt. Investigators found the bike had been overcharged and the incorrect charger was being used. #ChargeSafe⚡️ london-fire.gov.uk/incidents/2025…
