Works update - July 2023

Welcome to your resident's update from Equans. This is a great way for us to keep you up to date with all the work that has been going on so far and what we expect to achieve going forward.

If you have any queries about the works being undertaken by Equans, please direct your query to your appointed Resident Liaison Officer, Trevon Mengot by calling 07811704593.

As you will be aware, Equans has been appointed by Southern Housing to replace cladding and associated fire remediation works at Cygnus Court.

Since our last update:

We are pleased to inform you that the residents of two properties have agreed to have the new decking installed first as pilots, ensuring everything goes well prior to the full rout - thank you both for you help with this. After this process we will send out an update when all other balconies can be completed - the new decking sample remains available to view at your convenience.

On 24th July we will begin stripping all of your balconies of the existing cladding and old decking; please make sure your balconies are ready for these works. Our RLO, Trevon will be in contact to start booking these appointments, but feel free to call him for a date.

There is ongoing structural investigations to establish the integrity of the roof at Cygnus Court.

New hoarding has been installed to the front of the building for security purposes.

Further information:

Our pre-work surveys have been completed in whole, some properties remain outstanding - if you are one of these please contact our RLO, Trevon to book our attenance.

As we are carrying out works on the scaffold we advise all residents to close windows to prevent dust and debris from entering your flat during the works that may at times be dusty.

Monthly residents meeting: We would like to invite you to our next residents meeting taking place on 1st August on Microsoft Teams from 6pm - we will send you a link.
