Wandsworth Communal Introductory Letter – Communal Electrical Installation Testing – 6th May 2025

Dear Residents of Block A, Goulden House, Bullen street, Battersea, London SW11 3HF

Re – Roof Communal Extract Fan Serving Block A – Out of Service Notice

Dear residents of block A, please be advised that following the breakdown of the extract
ventilation fan serving your property, it has transpired that the fan unit’s bearings have failed
and are in need of replacement/ Unfortunately, this fan unit is now obsolete due to its age
meaning replacement parts are no longer unavailable.

As a result, our term contractors will need to remove the fan from site and deliver to a
specialist where a replacement set of bearings can be fabricated. Due to logistic involved,
the earliest this can be done is the 6th May and as such has been arranged for this date. (I
have been advised that if an opportunity to bring this date forwarded arises then we will
remove the pump sooner).

Unfortunately, it is not possible to advise how long the repair will take until the unit has been
received and assessed by the specialist, but we anticipate it will take approximately 2 weeks
from receipt to reinstatement on the roof.

I am truly sorry for the disruption to your services caused as a result of this breakdown, and
the heating department will do all we can to carry out the repairs and reinstate your services
in the shortest possible timeframe.

Thank you for your patience and understanding

Kind regards
Peter Roberts
Head of Heating services
