Details

The Grenfell Tower site is managed by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. It is the department’s job to keep the site safe and secure until a decision is made about its future.

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.
