We own a family run sheet metal firm, we predominantly make cladding for buildings, in the UK since October 2023 the government bought in new legislation to make cladding safer (see Grenfell fire) however our cladding is not a fire hazard and BSR gateways (the new legislation) have created such long delays, we have tried to battle on without losing staff for over 2 years, we have diversified, tried to fill the whole left by the lack of cladding work and now it’s almost back we are in a very tight spot and could do with help from kind people so we can make it through to January 2026!!!
