British Iron and Steel Federation (BISF) houses were one of several designs of prefabricated houses constructed in Britain after the Second World War. These houses have had additional cladding to the upper floor to provide better insulation. However, as can be seen on the house in the centre of the picture this does not seem to be entirely successful as this and several other houses on the estate have cladding panels missing.
