Managed by Jennings & Barratt
For the Shooters Hill estate, made up of 72 flats over three blocks
Completed a major works program
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

For a large purpose-built block in Wolverhampton
Full review of plumbing services and required repairs, review of all access control equipment and assessment and repairs to sprinkler system
Plumbing Issues / Escape of Water - Several occurrences of major escape of water from mains cold water system. On review it was found that due to the main riser pipes being fitted with compression fittings, the pressure from the booster pumps kicking in was causing the joints to vibrate and eventually fail.
To remedy this, we arranged for an inverter pump set controller to maintain a constant pressure and replaced all compression fittings on the main risers with soldered fittings to prevent any further issue. Following completion of the works no further occurrences of escape of water.
Security - Due to vandalism, access control systems to the block had been damaged and were not functioning.
A review was undertaken with a specialist access control contractor, repairs were completed, and anti-vandal equipment was fitted to ensure security going forward.
Fire Equipment Repairs - The block was fitted with a sprinkler system for all flats in the top 3 floors of the building which was not operational.
A specialist contractor was appointed to air test the system before refilling. It was found that a section of pipe had been installed externally by the developers that had not been lagged. When the system was originally commissioned the pipes had frozen causing them to split.
Sections of pipe were replaced, correctly lagged and the system was recommissioned.
