If you have already addressed your defective flat door and provided your Flat Door Certification to the Estate Office, we are still legally required to inspect your Flat Door, both externally and internally, hence why we require access, (only external inspection required, if your Flat Door opens directly to Open Air). If you have not addressed your non-compliant Flat Door or a defect is identified via our inspection on the dates listed below for each block, Wandsworth Borough Council will review all data provided to them pertaining to your non-compliant Flat Door and would then refer to SLLP and arrange a LBA (Letter before Action) and this legal process will also apply to residents who do not provide access to us to inspect the Flat Doors.
