CTS provides the full statutory inspection and testing regime now required for higher-risk buildings in Bristol - independent, client-side, and acting solely for the building owner.
Bristol has growing high-rise residential development across the harbourside and city centre.
As an independent, client-side advisor with no contractor or supplier affiliations, CTS provides the full statutory inspection and testing regime now required, with findings recorded to a BSR-ready golden thread on the CTS BuildSafe platform.
This is the complete recurring regime, not just facades: fire door inspections (quarterly communal and annual flat-entrance), fire alarm and emergency lighting servicing, dry risers, lift (LOLER) inspections, water and legionella, electrical installation condition reports (EICR), gas safety, and facade, cavity-barrier and balcony inspections. Every inspection is scheduled and tracked against its statutory frequency and recorded to the golden thread on the CTS BuildSafe platform, with RAG status and due-date alerts across your whole portfolio.
As at 30 April 2026, 4,378 residential buildings 11m and over with unsafe cladding were being monitored in the government's remediation programmes across England - 55% had started or completed works and 35% were complete. Bristol sits within one of the largest concentrations of these buildings in the country.
