Understanding LPS Tower Block Construction In Brighton & Hove

Large Panel System buildings, commonly known as LPS, were widely constructed across the UK during the 1950s to 1970s. In Brighton & Hove, these tower blocks form part of the local housing stock and continue to provide essential accommodation. Built using prefabricated concrete panels, LPS construction allowed for rapid development, but over time the performance of these buildings can be affected by ageing materials and environmental exposure. The coastal location of Brighton & Hove adds an extra layer of complexity, as moisture and salt air can accelerate the deterioration of concrete and steel reinforcement. The strength of these structures relies heavily on the connections between panels, and any weakening in these joints can impact overall stability. At ASRS Ltd, we have a strong understanding of LPS construction and the specific challenges presented by coastal environments, enabling us to provide tailored repair and strengthening solutions.

Common Issues in LPS Tower Blocks

LPS tower blocks in Brighton & Hove can experience a range of structural issues as they age. One of the most critical concerns is the deterioration of panel joints, which are essential for maintaining the building’s structural integrity. These joints can weaken due to material degradation, environmental exposure or limitations in the original construction. Corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement is another common issue, particularly in coastal areas where moisture can penetrate the structure. Cracking in concrete panels, water ingress and structural movement are also frequently observed. In some cases, previous repair work may not meet current standards, meaning further strengthening is required to ensure compliance. If left unresolved, these issues can compromise both safety and long-term durability. At ASRS Ltd, we carry out detailed inspections to identify the root causes of these problems and develop repair strategies that provide effective and lasting solutions.
