Dear

Re: Eastlake and Tadema Houses heating and hot water upgrade works (Contract T262)

We are pleased to let you know that the heating and hot water upgrade worksis due to start onsite from Monday 23 January 2017.

What kind of work will be carried out?

The work includes:

  • replacement of the communal heating pipework in each block between the roof plant area and each flat
  • capping off of the main heating distribution pipework from the roof void area to each property
  • installation of Heat Interface Units (HIUs) to provide and control the heating and hot water supplies to each flat
  • replacement of in-flat heating pipework and radiators with local control valves
  • connecting HIU’s to the in-flat domestic hot water system
  • replacement of domestic cold water down service risers in each block
  • installation of cold water service booster pumps
  • conversion of in-flat cold water supply from tank fed to boosted fed system
  • removal of the existing aged expired in-flat hot water cylinders

Timescales

The work is planned to take 32weeks and we aim to complete the scheme in October 2017. There will be no cost implications to leaseholders if the work runs over the 32 weeks.

Contractor site office

Our contractor Watretwill be setting up a site office in a disused car park on Fisherton Street – map over page.There will also be a container next to the boiler house between the 2 blocks, this is to store the equipment for the boiler house and plant room. The compound will be securely locked at the end of each day.

In-flat surveys

To help us understand the extent of the work required Watret need to carry out an in-flat survey to all properties. The survey will take approximately 1 hour and you may be asked to move furniture. During the survey, Watret will take measurements for the new radiators they will be installing. They will also measure where they will be fitting the HIU.

Please contact Dan Howard, resident liaison officer on 07957 471 914 or Russell Jackson, site manager on 07535 357 683 to make the survey appointment. In order for the works to progress it is important these surveys are carried out.
