About the project

Trident Point, Harrow, successfully completed cladding rectification works in 2024. The team took pride in ensuring that all current building fire and acoustic regulations were met, with resident safety remaining a top priority throughout the project. This was a logistically challenging scheme, positioned on a major arterial route through Harrow, Middlesex, adjacent to the TfL network.

The project involved the removal of all non-compliant materials from the building’s elevations, including existing timber cladding, Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) trespass panels, balcony timber decking, and phenolic insulation behind brickwork and render.

Façade rectification works included the installation of new cavity barriers and window and door cavity barriers across the property. The building was then re-clad with new A1-rated cladding panels, timber-effect fire-rated cladding, and new balcony decking.

The property comprises a nine-storey building with a Morrisons supermarket occupying the ground, first, and second floors, and residential flats above. Originally built in 2012 with a reinforced concrete frame on piled foundations, it combines brickwork, render, and ACM panels.

“I am pleased to recommend Vascroft for cladding replacement work. This is the second project of this type that we have used VCL for. The project was tendered on a design and build basis.

As with all projects this came with some unique challenges of access, keeping 170 Families who remained in situ calm, whilst working above a food store and adjacent to a busy London Underground Line.

VCL were thoroughly professional, kept the site clean/tidy and easily adapted to unforeseen issues, along the way. We largely hit program and budget.”
