Notice

YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PLACE THE PLANT POTS IN THE CENTRE OF THE 4TH FLOOR TERRACES; WITH THE HEAT AND THE EXCESSIVE WATERING, THEY HAVE DAMAGED THE TERRACE AND CAUSED INGRESS INTO THE FLATS BELOW.

Notice:

We are currently experiencing a heatwave; temperatures are expected to rise this week.

High temperatures commence tomorrow, Wednesday, predicted to be 32 degrees, Thursday, predicted to be 35 degrees and Friday predicted to be 30 degrees.

The opening of the Estate Office is determined by the temperature, when the temperatures rises to 30 degrees or is in excess of 30 degrees, the Estate Office is very difficult to work in, hence why, in high temperatures, office staff work from home, from a Health, Safety and Wellbeing perspective.

Please be assured that there will be no deviation from our business as office phones are diverted to the Estate Manager’s Mobile, please email as normal. Our Agency Cleaning Staff will be coming in earlier to undertake their duties and will be leaving earlier, due to the excessive heat, our Agency Staff will be supported on site by their supervisor.

PLEASE KEEP HYDRATED, ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, BUT ENJOY IT SAFELY

Notice:

WBC confirmed to the Estate Office today via Email,  Monday 10th August, that they have issued a briefing to all leaseholders and residents at Goulden House in the form of a Frequently Asked Questions document dated 3 August 2026.

Please note the following from Wandsworth Borough Council:

“The FAQ confirms that, following observations received during the consultation process and concerns raised at the resident consultation meeting held on 2 July 2026, the Council has extended the Section 20 consultation period by a further four weeks from 20th July 2026 until the 21st of August 2026.

The FAQ briefing also advises that the Council has formally instructed its consultant to undertake further feasibility work and provide a revised, costed assessment of the option to retain the existing communal ventilation system.

Considering the current situation, it would be sensible for any resident who has opted out to postpone any works until further notice”.

The Estate Office was advised today that the Fire Service was called out to Goulden House in the early hours of this morning (5 Fire Engines arrived on site at 1.40 am), to extinguish a lit cigarette end on a balcony, the prompt reactions of pro-active residents from the sighting of the smoke, to calling the Emergency Services, prevented the fire from taking hold. In these current temperatures, fires can take hold easily and the discarding of a lit cigarette end, could have caused serious damage to life and property. We have continuously advised residents not to discard cigarettes from balconies above and the last reminder was only issued on 23^rd July, when a lit cigarette end was discarded from a balcony above and caused damage to a patio table within a ground floor garden.

We will request a report from the Fire Service and if the location of the discarded cigarette is contained within that report, the appropriate action will be taken with the individual (s) concerned.

DO NOT DISCARD CIGARETTE ENDS/ASH FROM YOUR BALCONIES – THIS IS A CLEAR BREACH OF HEALTH, SAFETY, FIRE & SMOKE REGULATIONS AND COULD COST A PERSON/PERSONS THEIR LIVES.

Notice:

We are currently experiencing a heatwave; temperatures are expected to rise to 32 degrees tomorrow.

The opening of the Estate Office will be determined by the temperature, when the temperatures rises to in excess of 26 degrees, the Estate Office is very difficult to work in, hence why, in high temperatures, office staff work from home, from a Health, Safety and Wellbeing perspective. The temperatures will start to decrease towards the latter end of this week, and the expectation is that the Estate Office will be open on Friday of this week, for residents who wish to visit it in person.

Please be assured that there will be no deviation from our business as office phones are diverted to the Estate Manager’s Mobile, please email as normal. Our Agency Cleaning Staff will be coming in earlier to undertake their duties and will be leaving earlier, due to the excessive heat, our Agency Staff will be supported on site by their supervisor.

However, there is potentially good news on the horizon, we have submitted a SIB (Small Improvement Budget Fund) to Wandsworth Borough Council to purchase 3 x Air Con Units, we expect to hear shortly on whether the SIB has been successful.

PLEASE KEEP HYDRATED, ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, BUT ENJOY IT SAFELY
