Residential Fall-Safety Specialists
Identify fall risks. Complete the remedial works. Provide a clear digital record.
Wrightwood Consulting provides a coordinated window and balcony fall-safety service for housing providers, landlords and residential property managers.
We survey residential properties, identify potential fall risks, specify appropriate remedial measures and coordinate the works through to installation and final photographic sign-off.
Survey scope
Our surveys assess windows, balconies and guarding for potential fall hazards and defects.
Digital risk reporting
Survey results can be compiled into a digital property and portfolio record. Each inspected item is assigned a risk classification, giving clients a consistent way to review findings across a block, an estate or an entire portfolio.
Sample record shown for illustration only.
Remediation
Where issues are identified, Wrightwood coordinates appropriate remedial measures. Typical works may include:
Where possible, we specify repeatable and standardised window safety solutions — particularly valuable for larger housing portfolios, where consistency of product and installation simplifies procurement, maintenance and future stock records.
Remediation
Typical balcony and guarding remediation works may include:
Where significant structural alteration or full balustrade replacement is required, the works may require specialist design, structural assessment and project-specific technical review before installation. We identify where this applies and coordinate the appropriate specialists rather than proceeding without the necessary design input.

Regulatory context
Our surveys and remedial programmes can support landlords in identifying and managing fall risks associated with windows, balconies and guarding in the context of the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), the Decent Homes Standard and relevant Building Regulations and guidance.
A survey and remediation programme is one part of a landlord's wider approach to managing fall risk. Installing a window restrictor or completing a specific remedial item does not, by itself, guarantee compliance with any particular standard — outcomes depend on the individual property, the assessment undertaken and the wider context of the building.
Wrightwood Consulting coordinates the survey, specification, supply, installation and sign-off of remedial works. We do not provide legal or regulatory certification of compliance.
