Residents of the Chalcots Estate in north London are in shock after newly installed windows were discovered to be fitted inside out. This follows years of construction to improve safety after dangerous cladding—similar to that used on Grenfell Tower—was removed. Camden Council acknowledged the mistake, noting it wouldn’t impact overall project costs and would be rectified promptly. Residents expressed deep concerns about the quality control of the work, voicing anxiety about potential further issues in future building projects. The incident highlights ongoing distress for residents already affected by the aftermath of the Grenfell disaster.
Maryan Nur expressed her frustration, saying, "Imagine waiting for all of these years and you think finally you'll come back to your room, your building, your flat and it's inside out."
Alketa Aykac questioned the oversight, stating, "It's unbelievable. Where is the quality control before handing over the flats? It gives me anxiety now due to thinking 'will it happen again to my flat.'"}],
