New letter: September update on our works

This article has been summarised, a full copy of the letter is available within the documents library.

Following on from our last update we have now completed the appointment of the EWI and zinc replacement contractors. Below is some further information on progress and works.

During the re-appointment phase, to maintain some progress we utilised an existing contractor to complete the removal of all remaining zinc areas and associated insulation. The specialist zinc contractor received their order at the end of July resulting in commencement on site Monday 31st July, restarting the installation of the new zinc finishes and compliant insulation.

We fully expected our preferred contractor for the main render and cladding areas to have received their works order and have commenced on site in August. Unfortunately, due to several issues, this was delayed. These issues have now been resolved and the order signing was completed on 31st August. During the lead period the contractor's management team have been on site surveying and preparing for start on site which will allow commencement of the EWI works from 4th September.

We are now able to complete an accurate project completion programme. Once finalised and agreed with all the necessary stakeholders this will be shared with all interested parties.
