Details

The Grenfell Tower site is managed by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. It is the department’s job to keep the Tower secure and stable.

One of the things the department does is to keep the Tower enclosed in two layers of protective wrapping. The outside layer of the wrapping needs to be updated once a year. Here we explain why, and how the rewrapping process is managed.
