Housing association A2Dominion, in partnership with AD Construction Group and Bellrock, has finished a £2.1 million cladding remediation and improvement programme at the Union Wharf development in West Drayton.
The project, which began in January 2025 after fire‑safety inspections identified shortcomings in the external wall system, delivered essential fire‑safety upgrades across the 38‑home estate. Works included the removal of existing cladding, installation of new insulation, a steel support frame, cavity barriers and enhanced fire‑stopping. Additional upgrades comprised a roof overlay, remediation of projecting oriel windows and the replacement of balcony decking with non‑combustible A‑rated materials.
Crucially, the entire programme was completed while residents remained in their homes. A dedicated resident liaison service provided regular updates, minimising disruption throughout the construction phase.
Funding for the Union Wharf remediation was secured through Homes England’s Cladding Safety Scheme with AD Construction Group Ltd serving as Principal Contractor and Bellrock delivering project‑management and CDM services.
The successful delivery adds to A2Dominion’s broader commitment to building safety. In the 2025/26 financial year the housing association invested an additional £11.9 million in cladding and fire‑safety remediation, bringing total spending across its portfolio to nearly £50 million.
Jessica Ward, Head of Building Safety Projects at A2Dominion said: “The safety of our customers is always our top priority, and we’re pleased to have completed these important works at Union Wharf.
“This project has delivered significant fire safety improvements, while also enhancing the overall condition of the building. We’d like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation throughout the programme.”
