A spokesperson said: “While Siderise products were used in the Grenfell refurbishment, the Grenfell Inquiry report is clear that neither Siderise nor its products contributed to the tragic fire or its spread, and there is no suggestion that Siderise was not candid before the inquiry, and therefore this exclusion is unwarranted.
Siderise Insulation Ltd, which manufactured some of the cavity barriers used in the 2015-16 refurbishment, launched judicial review proceedings against Kensington and Chelsea Council on Tuesday (February 18), arguing the ban on their products was ‘unwarranted’.
The Grenfell Inquiry’s Phase 2 report found no evidence of Siderise acting dishonestly on its part but said some aspects of the company’s marketing materials ‘gave cause for concern’.
A survivor of the Grenfell Tower fire has said she is in ‘utter disbelief’ after discovering a contractor banned by Kensington and Chelsea Council (RBKC) is appealing the decision through the courts.
The company has previous said there was ‘no finding’ by the inquiry that its cavity barriers should not have been used in the refurbishment, nor any finding they had caused or contributed to the spread of the fire.
