Fire Safety Inspection

General Discussion

Hi I have a property that is managed by a housing association and I just had a letter from them about:

"Notice of intention for a qualifying long term agreement for a fire safety consultans framework"

It states that its in response to goverment guidelines and theres a couple of bits that I would just like to clarify please. In particular:

"This lot will be delivered by consultants that can meet the competency requirements established by Government and NHG eg members of the royal institute of chartered surveyors and royal institute of british architects."

"These contractors would be employed to undertake observational and invasive surveys of building components and systems (e.g, internal compartment walls, external walls); provide remedial advice relating to fire safety defects with building elements and systems ( (e.g, external walls expert witness services, design guardian services to oversee remedial works to meet quality requirements, site inspection services to meet quality requirements; and support with resident engagement related to fire safety remedial works."

"Observational and invasive surveys of building components and systems"
This means that they will come inside my apartment and inspect it?
Are they allowed entry into my apartment or can I stop them coming in?
This means that they are interested in the boiler and other elements such as light fittings?
I see expert witness services mentioned her so presumably they are preparing for court action if needed?

Thanks
