The building and the evidence
Quay Side House is on Abbey Road in Barking. The supplied project photograph and content are published with permission. The original inspection report was prepared by Awais Sarwar under Team EPC, the sister brand. The original figures come from that report; the later remedial outcome comes from Awais’s confirmation. These different kinds of evidence should not be collapsed into an invented final pass total.
First visit: identify and document
The original survey took place on 19 March 2026. It recorded 29 inspected doors, six passing and 23 failing the recorded checks. The work covered findings across flat entrance and communal doors. The count is a baseline for this instruction; it does not imply that the same proportion of all doors in London is defective or that the original inspection tested every assembly’s fire resistance.
| Original report measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Doors inspected | 29 |
| Recorded as passed | 6 |
| Recorded as failed | 23 |
What the findings concerned
The supplied account identifies issues involving gaps and alignment, intumescent strips and smoke seals, hinge fixings, self-closing action and a lockset. The report described findings door by door, supported by photographs and recommended actions. This enabled the management team to arrange work against specific observations rather than interpret an unexplained overall failure label. Do not infer additional defects or hidden construction problems beyond that supplied account.
