All those affected by the evacuation of a Brentford estate over fire safety fears have been found alternative accommodation.

More than a thousand residents were told on Monday morning to leave their homes immediately.

Housing association Notting Hill Genesis has apologised to those living in the six blocks at the Paragon Estate for the "huge disruption".

Safety experts have launched an investigation at the estate following concerns that residents' lives are at risk but no further details have been disclosed.

Most of the 1,059 flats are occupied by students from the University of West London (UWL).

Notting Hill Genesis announced a safety review to fully establish structural and fire safety issues that have been uncovered.

A UWL spokesperson said: "Since being informed of the situation, UWL's sole focus has been on identifying suitable alternative student accommodation and to put in place a comprehensive package of measures to support our students.

"All residents affected were communicated with directly at 11am today. Alternative accommodation has been secured for all those affected.

"Extensive support plans are in place to facilitate the smoothest possible transition to the new accommodation.

"The university and the Students' Union are working closely to ensure the well-being of our students and to ensure any disruption is kept to a minimum."

Aside from student accommodation, the blocks are also a mix of shared ownership leasehold homes and reduced market rents.

The Paragon Estate was developed by Berkeley First, part of the Berkeley Group, and initially owned by the former Presentation Housing Association. This became part of Notting Hill Housing – now Notting Hill Genesis, in 2009.

Hounslow Council leader Steve Curran, said: "We are pleased Notting Hill Genesis have taken such quick action to address the situation.

"The council is at hand to provide support should it be required, however we have been reassured by NHG about alternative accommodation being provided for residents including those that are self-isolating due to Covid-19.

"They are liaising with our Public Health team for advice and guidance.

"We realise this is very distressing news for residents during an already difficult time but this action is necessary to keep residents safe now and in the future."
