Resident update - June

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 Whytecliffe Road.

Works update:

We are stripping off the remaining cladding around the gas flues, we need to carry out gas isolations to your boilers. The reason behind this is to ensure the safety of residents and operatives. We would also like to thank the residents who have given us access to isolate their boilers - RLO, Trevon will contact a few more residents for this process to be carried out.

We are re-hanging roof doors & mansard gates to rectify the damage to the roof door and gates as current ones are damaged - this is to ensure the roof can be used again safely.

We will be carrying out balcony slab surveys, to identify the following: Floor slab construction detail, reinforcement present (layers are present, to assess thickness and variation), voiding under the floor slab.

We also carried out rainwater hopper and downpipe survey to assess any cleaning needs, if the downpipes are clear, planning maintenance for any present/current damage.

We are removing the timber decking to investigate what is behind so we have a clearer scope of required works.

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

Reminder: Currently we are stripping, drilling and carrying out other work related matters, we advise all residents to close windows to prevent dust and debris from entering into your flat during working hours. We kindly ask for all residents to inform the site team of any contractors or deliveries during work hours (8am-5pm) to avoid any disruptions to the works.
