Seren Park - Cladding Replacement

This months issue of the newsletter is now available on the microsite HERE. This months issue covers a general update on works progress and some details on the scaffold works.

From the 5th of May we will begin the removal of the existing timber and render cladding from the 2^nd and 3^rd floors of section 1 part of section 4 (the section that faces the woodlands) and section 2. Properties 99-153, not included in these works. These works will be taking place within the broken line sections shown on the section of works plan HERE. We anticipate these works to be completed in approximately 8 weeks.

To facilitate these works access will be required onto your balcony if it faces the woodland or Leamington Court. We will be working directly on your balcony and around lounge and bedroom windows, for your privacy please keep curtains and blinds closed. Could you please ensure that all personal belongings i.e., bicycles, plants, garden sets, etc. are cleared to allow for works. Please be advised that EQUANS cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused to items that have not been cleared.

Under no circumstances and for your own safety no other persons should climb onto the scaffold, this also applies to children. We advise any unauthorised persons accessing the scaffolding outside of our normal working hours, which are Monday to Friday 8-5pm should be reported immediately to the Police.

Welcome to your first resident's update for Seren Park Gardens.

EQUANS has been appointed by Haus to undertake refurbishment works to six buildings at Seren Park Gardens. This will include the removal and replacement of the existing external cladding and introduction of internal compliance works. We expect to complete the works by September 2023.

As per Haus requirements, for each building the cladding panels will be removed and replaced in sections and instalments, ensuring each flat remains watertight at the end of each working day. Other associated works will be carried out over the duration of this scheme including electrical inspections and testing, balcony deck renewals and communal decorations including new carpets.

The EQUANS site office is based at the end of Restell Close by the entrance of the railway station (see picture below).

We are currently in the process of commencing exploratory works to the existing cladding required for the correct dimensions in preparation for the scaffold erection.
