Residents waiting for their new Windows will not have to wait much longer, as the dates for each block has been announced by contractor, Breyer Group plc, at a recent WERA General Meeting.

With the finishing touches being made to the Pilot Flat at Weir House, the long awaited new windows and doors will arrive and installation will start at Weir House the week commencing 24th November.

Despite late additions to the works, such as repairs to the metal work and wrangling over paint finishes, works are to roll out across the estate giving residents relief from the cold weather though residents will experience some chilly days as the programme of works is not due to finish until early next year.

The dates for the work to each block have been confirmed, residents are asked to bare in mind these are all Week Commencing dates and that there will be a break in December due to the Christmas Holiday:

Weir: November 2009
West: 30th November 2009
Olding: 30th November 2009
Jewell: 7th December 2009
Glanville: 14th December 2009
CHRISTMAS Holiday 18th December 2009
Quennel: 25th January 2010
Dan Bryant’s: 18th January 2010

Many works are still on going and all blocks have been jet washed, despite a very poor attendance by residents at the meeting, Breyer Group officials and Lambeth Living’s Major Works Team gave a full update to the association.

The Pilot Flat, the home of Mr and Mrs Broderick, have had all their windows installed and they have said how delighted they are with them. Two windows in the bathroom and toilet had to be changed in order to make them easier to open. This took place last Tuesday. All Ballot forms for the uniformed door colour choices have been returned and the result for Olding, Quennel, Weir and West will be announced soon.

Appointments for installations will be made by the Breyer Group Resident Liaison Officer, Shuzna Begum in the coming weeks. Residents will be contacted when these are available.

WERA’s Chair who has been working for some time to get the new windows for the estate has spoke of his delight that at the news, “The programme is moving forward and residents can now look forward to finally getting their long overdue new windows and doors. WERA has worked hard with the much appreciated and valued help from our ward councillors to get them and this shows what a residents Association can do.”

The estate has been waiting since the estate was built in 1952 for new windows and doors.
