External redecoration
We have some information for you about our external painting scheme and how it could affect you. The work may vary slightly from what is stated depending on the type of property you live in and all works will be subject to an individual survey.
Why is the work being done?
The estate in which your property is located has been identified for external painting to be carried out as part of a programme of redecoration works helping to improve the visual appearance of your estate. You will be notified in writing by us if your area is scheduled for such works in the current financial year.
How long will the work take?
The work will normally take up to 3 working days to complete, depending on the weather and the extent of painting and pre paint repairs that are required. All works will be subject to survey. Works are not always continuous, there may be periods of time where no works are undertaken.
What should I do before the work starts?
For the works to commence, we ask that an area of approximately 2 metres away from the perimeter of the property is cleared prior to the works starting. This includes personal items around the home and attached to the external walls, any rubbish and any dog faeeces. Gates need to be unlocked during working hours to allow access and the welfare of your children and pets is your responsibility. We request that vehicles are not parked on driveways during working hours.
What choices will I have?
Our standard specification for external painting is to paint any pre painted surfaces which may include facias and soffits, downpipes and cills etc. The required works will be subject to survey prior to works commencing.
What disruption will there be?
At times the work may be noisy and dusty and you may not be able to use your gardens while the work is underway. Access to your home should not be affected but we do ask that cars are moved off the driveway during working hours and any personal items such as planters, pots, children’s toys etc are moved away from the perimeter of the building. If you feel that your personal circumstances, or health may prevent you from coping with this work and would like to discuss what options are available, please contact the customer liaison advisor.
