Inspection Of Flats Doors – Block A Access Required

Inspection Of Flats Doors – Access Required To All Flats In Block A On Monday 3rd & Tuesday 4th November.

“The Regulator, via Wandsworth Borough Council, have issued a directive to Goulden House Co-Operative Ltd, to inspect all Flat Doors, both internally and externally, the deadline to have completed this work is by 30th November. The following dates are when we will be undertaking the inspection of the Flat Doors in Blocks A, B & C. Please note that once our findings are issued to Wandsworth Borough Council (30th November deadline), Wandsworth Borough Council will then provide our findings to the Regulator (Statutory Requirement). Assisting me with the Inspection of the Flat Doors, will be four members of the Goulden House Co-Operative Ltd Management Committee.

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.
