Thank you for your patience whilst recent roof repairs have been going on.
The last part of the project has now completed and stained ceiling areas in communal areas have been repaired and decorated.
When we went out to tender last year we did consider replacing the whole roof membrane but he manufacturer was satisfied that this wasn’t necessary and that proper repairs would suffice. As you can imagine those repairs in total have come in at a fraction of the price of a new roof.
The repairs have been funded from the reserve fund so will not impact your service charge budget.
The final problem was a leaking area under a pedestrian safety walkway. That walkway had to be removed and the area underneath repaired, then a new walkway constructed.
The contractor is now satisfied that repairs are complete and in conjunction with the roof system manufacturer Sarnafil the repairs have a ten year guarantee.
Unfortunately in prior years before we assumed our responsibility under the head lease for maintaining the roof, any repair work was very much ad hoc and in some cases not fit for purpose. By working closely with the manufacturer and their recommended partner we now have a robust system for dealing with issues as and when they occur.
