What affects the cost of an EWS1 form
Every block differs in height, age and wall construction. These variables change how much time the specialist needs on site and what equipment is required to reach the upper floors safely.
| What it depends on | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Building height and access | Taller blocks need elevated platforms or rope access, which adds preparation time and changes the equipment the specialist must bring. |
| Wall construction type | A converted mill has different materials to a new riverside development, so the inspection steps vary between them. |
| Number of material types | More finishes and insulation types on the same block mean more samples and a longer review by the specialist. |
| Existing documentation | If building plans or previous fire risk appraisals are available, the specialist spends less time establishing the wall build-up. |
| Urgency of the request | A tight completion date may require the specialist to prioritise the booking over standard scheduling. |
The specialist explains the exact cost of the job before anything is agreed.
