Water Ingress Report

WATER INGRESS REPORT

27 January 2010

Dear Owners/Residents

ROOF SURVEY AND REPAIRS
I would like to inform you that A&K along with the Kingston Quay Residents Committee have successfully negotiated a deal with BARRATT to conduct a survey, and where required repairs to the roof. This will be followed by further negotiations to respond to other repairs required.
As you know this has been a long battle and all parties involved should be complemented for their commitment to Kingston Quay

GARAGE REPAIRS
It should also be noted that Morris and Spottiswood are conducting repairs within Kingston Quay’s car park to repair water ingress. In order for this work to be completed properly, Morris and Spottiswood staff will require entry to all flats to update water cisterns. The works being conducted are part of a 3-month project, which is now in its final stage. All owners will receive an updated report upon completion.
Again, this outcome has been achieved through the hard work and commitment of the committee, A&K and NHBC.

WATER INGRESS
As a result of this hard work we are now moving on to deal with water ingress problems in owner’s flats.
A&K now require all owners to inform the Property Manager (Alex McDivitt) if they currently have water ingress or have had water ingress over the last 2 years.
BARRATT will require this information before any negotiations or works can start.
Please include any costs involved (invoices will be requested at a later date).

Please reply by email stating street number followed by flat.
Example:
240 Wallace St
Flat:XXXXX
Date of Fault:XXXX
Costs:XXXXXX

Email: alexandermcdivitt@yahoo.co.uk

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Alex McDivitt
A&K Property Manager
