It's a date! 17th March 2014

 

Dear all,

 

You should by now each have received a letter from DM Hall (dated 3 Feb 2014) outlining some of the preparations we are required to attend to before our project finally gets started.  One of the most important of these will be for us to each contact our respective insurers to inform them of the work to be carried out and giving the dates.  (A separate letter from DM Hall will have been included to make it easy for you to simply send it on.) 

 

The letter also includes an outline timescale that confirms: 

• Proposed start date for erection of scaffolding  - 17th March 2014
• Proposed start date for works to commence - 24th March 2014
• Envisaged completion date - 16th May 2014

Please note that access to properties will be required by the contractors (James Breck) to make sure that the chimneys are appropriately blocked up etc.  This is to avoid any excessive soot coming in to our homes, although we must all be prepared for there to be at least some dust.  The letter also gives some guidance on what we can each be doing to seal window frames, and check that they all have locks fitted.

Access is likely to be required in the first week, i.e. week commencing 17th March 2014, so please be prepared to make suitable arrangements for this.

 

The work will generally take place between 0800 and 1630hrs, Monday to Friday, although there may be a requirement for a bit of Saturday work.


We've also been advised that as TV aerials and satellite dishes may have to be moved, this might mean a slight disruption to reception, so you have been warned!  This should be minimal and they will all be put back afterwards.


Key contacts are all included in the letter. 


If you are the owner, please make sure that your tenants are informed of all this.  We'll aim to keep you posted here, and if anyone has any other questions, please contact us on bsora@hotmail.com.  


Kind regards,


BSORA Committee
