Robust, knowledgeable and experienced fire engineer.

Leaseholders at Centrillion Point, Croydon, instructed Gwen as an independent fire engineering expert witness to assist with the leaseholder's remediation order application (LON/00AH/HYI/2022/0012) against the freeholder for failing to repair significant fire safety defects about compartmentation and structural fire protection.

Gwen arranged an intrusive investigation of the building and provided a report on the findings following the inspection. During the inspection Gwen's thorough assessment found issues that fire risk assessors had failed to identify. The success of the remediation order came down to Gwen's findings and her robust report, which the freeholder eventually accepted in full.

Thank you Gwen on behalf of the leaseholders at Centrillion Point.

Hello Harry, Thank you so much for chosing GBFE for this project. I am so glad that the failures in fire safety were accepted in full by the freeholder and the court. This is an important step forward for the leaseholders for the remediation works. It was a pleasure to work with the client on this project. Thank you

We used Gwen Brewer's expertise in presenting a Fire Strategy to an Approved Inspector for an Office Use building in Hammersmith London W6. Her service was perfectly suited to responding to the Approved Inspector's questions and issues relating to Fire Strategy easily resolved in a reasonable budget and in a timely manner - 4* review
