Cladding Remediation

At WHL Surveying & Engineering, we specialise in the assessment, design, and delivery of cladding remediation schemes, working in close partnership with clients across the UK to ensure buildings are safe, compliant, and aligned with current legislative and regulatory standards.

Whether acting for building owners, managing agents, developers, or freeholders, our role is to provide clear, practical, and technically robust advice throughout the lifecycle of your cladding remediation project. From initial investigations and risk profiling through to project handover and certification, we combine in-depth technical expertise with diligent project delivery to support every stage of the remediation journey.

We recognise the significant challenges presented by legacy external wall systems — particularly in the wake of the Building Safety Act 2022 and the heightened regulatory focus following Grenfell. Our team is experienced in navigating this complex environment, providing clients with confidence, transparency, and a structured route to compliance.
