check whether the wood had been appropriately treated and that the residents should be advised not to use barbecues on the balconies. The builders Bellway Homes claimed not to have seen that report before the fire. An investigation of other blocks post fire found ‘faulty fire doors, broken smoke alarms and combustible cladding’, while the original developer Bellway said fire protection measures inside ‘received all regulatory approvals’ and ‘ensured occupants were safely evacuated’. Also according to Inside Housing the material used for the cladding and decking was ThermoWood, which was banned for use on buildings over 18 metres high (these flats being 13.75m high) and has a class D rating. Inside Housing found twenty low rise developments where its use had been authorised. Aftermath As a consequence of the fire, the wooden balconies and elevation fragments have been replaced on both Samuel Garside House, and its twin block on the same estate, Ernest Websdale House. The event has featured in many reports and articles highlighting the lack of fire safety improvements and remediation following the Grenfell fire.
