Cyclical and external decoration in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Each block gets a pre-paint survey, and repairs are agreed before decoration starts, so the paint goes onto sound material.

Which rules apply in Epping Forest?

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.
