Which rules apply in the East Midlands?
Where costs are recharged to leaseholders, landlords in England and Wales may need to consult under section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 before qualifying works start. We provide itemised costs per block to support that.
What does it cost in the East Midlands?
We price communal area refurbishment in the East Midlands after a survey rather than from a guide range, because the scope of floors, lighting, door entry and fire safety items varies from block to block. Send us the details and we will arrange a visit.
How do we deliver it?
We plan and phase works so residents can get in and out safely, and our method statements prohibit wedging fire doors open or leaving them off their closers.
