Latest Update as at 2 July 2014 - Works Nearing Completion!

Dear all, 

I'm not sure quite when Peter at Breck's sent this update  to David at DM Hall, but please see below received from the latter on Wednesday 2nd July 2014.  

• Original instructed scope of works complete on programme as of today [NB, not sure exactly which day 'today' refers to]
• Chimney scaffold booked to be dismantled on Wednesday [2nd?] to facilitate roofing works below
• Sign off meeting took place on Monday 30/6/14, following meeting scaffold will be off hired to Brunswick Street elevation and Montgomery Street as far as the bay window below chimney G&H.  [presumably 'off hired' means the same as dismantled?]
• Cupola scaffold off hired [this was removed yesterday, Wed 2nd July 2014]
• Rear scaffold to remain until roofing works around Chimneys G&H complete
• Cupola glazing completed successfully last Saturday  
• Owners to be lettered regarding reconnections of gas appliances/ fire place un-blocking booked for Saturday 5/7/14 between 0800-12:00  [NB this really applies to the F3 properties mutual to Montgomery Street - if you are unable to be available then, please liaise directly with Breck's to arrange another more suitable time]

Not reported in the update, but mentioned by Peter in person on Tuesday: our windows have apparently all been cleaned at no charge as an additional service from Breck's. * (*If anyone wants to take advantage of the 'supported access' to undertake any additional cleaning or tidying up before it disappears, you are welcome to do so, but at your own risk).

So, based on this, there is still likely to be some activity over the next few days/weeks, but we will continue to keep you informed.  Please be aware of things falling etc and keep safe. 

Letters will soon be issued detailing the impact to each individual property of the variations to the scope of work, and we look forward to your co-operation with this.   

In the meantime, if you do have any questions, please contact bsora@hotmail.co.uk.

Maybe they took inspiration from our blog - it could barely be closer match if they tried!
