Completed the following emergency renovations works after completing a condition report :
Emergency telephones in 6 of the lifts were not working. Three of them were not working because there were no active telephone lines.
Several communal doors needed repairs in order to comply with fire regulations. Doors not closing properly, fire intumescent strips.
Door entry systems were not working. There were at least 20 issues with the door entry systems.
A small leak from one of the apartments into the Under croft car park which existed for over 9 months.
Lots of issues with lights not working or staying on all the time.
Even though we are appointed by the Landlord, we are engaging with the residents to identify their priorities and explain to them what we are doing on the development. The response from the residents has been very positive. We are collaborating to bring the development back up to the standard expected.

As managing agent, Jennings and Barrett was instructed by the Residents Association to manage the work. They quickly got the process underway to inform leaseholders of the proposals, raise funds, and invite tenders for the work. Using their in-house RICS surveyor, John Shine, a specification for the works was soon drawn up.

To minimise disruption to residents and to make funding easier on lessees, one block was completed per year, with a period of six weeks required per block. Within three years, the whole estate had a revamped look and all residents felt the revitalising effects in their day-to-day life
