Works update - October 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, Sanusi Conteh by calling 07855 967 608.

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

Our progress so far:

• Stripping and replacement of incorrect monoflex is now complete
• Endoscopy investigation surveys around all doors and windows is complete - the report came back as inconclusive, therefore further opening up works are required and have been scheduled for 20th November
• Internal fire stopping surveys in communal areas only are complete - a return visit was carried out and the survey results are to be issued on 21st November now that Equans are in possession of new keys for the outstanding risers
• Complete external opening up works to review cavity barriers within the brickwork has commenced and started on 20th November
• Gas isolations on the remainder of cladding to be stripped on plots 8, 9 & 14
• Gas boiler isolations have all been completed for cage installations on unprotected gas flues situated on scaffold for plots 3,8, 10, 42, 54 & 55
• We now have access for cladding works and plans to the gable elevation
