Heating & Plumbing for Blocks of Flats
A block brings communal plant, shared risers and multiple leaseholders into one job, where a single fault can affect several flats at once.
A block brings communal plant, shared risers and multiple leaseholders into one job, where a single fault can affect several flats at once. Work often has to be scheduled around residents and reported to a managing agent or freeholder rather than one occupant.
Communal systems affect several flats at once
A shared boiler, communal heating loop or riser fault is diagnosed with the whole system in mind, not just the flat where symptoms were reported.
Coordinating access across leaseholders
Notifying residents ahead of a visit and finding a window that suits enough of them takes planning, which we can help schedule with the managing agent.
What we need from you to quote
Whether the fault is in a communal system or an individual flat, a plan or list of affected units, and the managing agent or freeholder's authorisation for the work.
Questions we get asked
Do you deal with the freeholder or the managing agent?
Whichever holds the authorisation for the work; we take instruction from whoever you confirm is responsible for the contract.
Can a communal boiler fault be fixed without affecting every flat?
It depends on the fault and the system layout. We will explain what isolating one section would mean for the rest of the block before starting.
How do you notify residents of access needs?
We can provide notice wording for the managing agent to circulate, or work to whatever notice process the block already uses.
