Progress Report
Hanging stage works dealing with cavity flashings, some spalling and paint works on the Northern elevation has been extended for this next week and vehicle restrictions and access limits around the clothesline area still apply (see newsletter dated 5 February). Weather permitting, painting of the northern balcony facades will also begin this week.
Week Ahead
Door removal will begin tomorrow for Units 34, 31 and 28. Affected residents are requested to move furniture, paintings and ornaments at least one metre away from their doors prior to the proposed start date of these works in their respective unit.
Affected residents are requested to leave their sliding doors AND hinged door unlocked for the duration of works scheduled for their unit.
Affected residents are also requested to remove blinds and curtains if possible. Please be aware that once removed, existing blinds and curtains may need to be altered to fit.
Once doors are removed, openings will be boarded up. Subject to any delays (weather, difficulties with particular doors), it is anticipated that each affected unit will take up to 7 days to complete the necessary hob rebuilding/waterproofing and door replacement work.
Work will continue from the top down, subject to the usual limitations of weather, access and degree of difficulty.
Following Weeks: Eastern (3-bed) Elevation
Please check the schedule below.
Note: Due to the additional work involved in removing affected 3-bed unit doors, it is possible that the schedule will be reduced to two balconies each week.
Balcony Tiling
Balcony tiling will not take place until the cleaning and painting of internal balcony (painted) surfaces is completed after doors are replaced. This is to avoid any damage to the new tiles. At this stage, the focus will be on continuing with door removal work first, so that residents are not boarded up for longer than is necessary. Thank you
