Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPTB - A number of independent Property Maintenance Gas Servicing and Domestic Installation businesses were acquired by Spice plc during the late 2000's. The Companies acquired by Spice plc were established businesses with long standing and established relationships within the Social Housing Sector and included Apollo Heating, GMT, Gas Call, Pargas and Homerton Heating. Mono Services, an established Responsive and Voids Repairs Company were also acquired.
Spice amalgamated all the above named companies under one national brand name and in April 2009 the Liberty Group was formed.
In February 2010, Spice plc made the decision to concentrate on their core utilised base and as a consequence, the Liberty Group was sold in May 2010 to Booth Securities Limited. December 2012 saw a name change from Booth Securities Limited to Liberty Group Investments Limited.
The owners of Liberty Group Investments Limited have significant experience and knowledge of the Gas Repairs and Maintenance industry and working with Social Landlords, developed over a period of 40 years in the sector.
Liberty now operates via three divisions which are: Liberty Gas “ Liberty Energy “ Liberty Maintenance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KA4R7D - The office of the Housing Ombudsman is an executive non-departmental public body of the government of the United Kingdom, sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The Housing Ombudsman Service looks at complaints about registered providers of social housing, for example housing associations, and other landlords, managers and agents. The service is free, independent and impartial. The Ombudsman can also look at complaints about the handling of housing issues by local councils.
In June 2018, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Excellence in the Built Environment called on the UK government to expand the remit of independent UK ombudsman schemes to cover private house-builders. It recommended a single entry point for ombudsman services spanning the entire residential sector, which would cover the conduct of estate agents (covered by The Property Ombudsman) through to social housing. Within this overarching service, there would be either a number of specialist ombudsmen or specialist divisions “ one of which would cover new homes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1P03X - Gamesley is a residential area within the Borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, west of Glossop and close to the River Etherow which forms the boundary with Tameside in Greater Manchester. Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the ˜gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the ˜electric side'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJCKWC - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG07H - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team. The Metropolitan Police and London's Air Ambulance also assisted the rescue effort.

Five years after 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire, which broke out on June 14, 2017, the UK government has announced plans to ban the type of cladding used to cover the external walls of the North Kensington high-rise. These revised building regulations are to be put into effect in December 2022.
The inquiry into the disaster concluded, in its first report in 2019, that this cladding “ polyethylene-filled aluminium composite panels, to be specific “ was responsible for the fire spreading so quickly..

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG0CC - Green for Grenfell remembrance tree in North Kensington, London, decorated with handmade green hearts carrying words including strength, love, peace and grace. The image records a public act of community memory connected with the Grenfell Tower fire of 14 June 2017, when 72 people died in one of Britain's most significant modern housing and building safety tragedies. Green hearts became a powerful symbol of Grenfell solidarity, love, dignity and remembrance, appearing on trees, murals, marches and community displays around the area. This photograph has strong editorial relevance for the ninth anniversary in June 2026, as survivors, bereaved families, campaigners, housing professionals and residents continue to call for justice, accountability and safer homes. The tree is wrapped in bright green material, with heart shaped messages hanging among summer leaves against an urban leisure centre or community building backdrop. The visible handwritten words make the scene especially suitable for coverage of memorial events, grief, resilience, neighbourhood activism, social housing safety, cladding reform, public inquiry findings, community trauma and the continuing legacy of Grenfell. The picture also works as a visual metaphor for hope after disaster, grassroots remembrance, resident voice, public mourning and the long fight for truth in the built environment. It can illustrate articles about tower block safety, fire regulation, landlord responsibility, construction product failures, social inequality, London communities, disaster memorials and anniversary campaigning. The natural green canopy and homemade decorations give the photograph a human, local and compassionate tone, contrasting sharply with the scale of the tragedy it commemorates. No people are visible, allowing the memorial objects, words and colour symbolism to carry the emotional weight of the image while preserving a respectful documentary focus.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG0CM - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team. The Metropolitan Police and London's Air Ambulance also assisted the rescue effort.
