Retrofit sprinkler systems

This comes after the council worked with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service and specialist contractors to retrofit sprinkler systems in its 19 high-rise blocks across the city.

In addition to the installation of a sprinkler system within the flats, the council is also undertaking a program of replacing the flat front doors and frames, replacing the corridor and staircase doors and screens and riser cupboard doors and frames.

It is undertaking fire stopping (filling holes with fire retardant material) both in the flats and communal areas together with the removal of any asbestos affected by the work.
