Keeping your communities clean and tidy

Our cleaning team worked tirelessly through each lockdown to keep blocks and estates clean and safe.

During periods of lockdown, grounds maintenance and tree work carried on as normal, as did our ambition to continually improve on quality. The neighbourhood wardens are out and about all week dealing with issues such as fly tipping, parking and fire safety in communal areas. Our Estate Management team is committed to dealing with issues quickly and effectively, improving your neighbourhoods. We’re working with contractors to deliver high quality services, improving where we need to.

Keeping you safe

Keeping you safe is our number one priority. Our main areas of inspection are fire, gas, electricity, asbestos, lifts and water hygiene.

All the communal areas in blocks of flats have a valid fire risk assessment, Legionella risk assessment, electrical safety certificates and annual gas safety checks if they have a gas supply.

The most important factor is that we are confident that you are safe living in your home.
