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 Monmouthshire?

Where costs are recharged to leaseholders, section 20 consultation may be needed before qualifying works start. We provide itemised costs per block to support that.
