Leaks

The TCA has been in regular contact with ENGIE in the last month to sort out water penetration that has been caused for a variety of different reasons across the block.

Bubbling in kitchen and bathroom flooring

The TCA has raised issues of some residents having bubbling in their kitchen and bathroom flooring.

An update from the Tustin Community Association

10 Jul 2020

The Tustin Community Association (TCA) and the Tenants and Residents Association for all residents on the Tustin Estate has returned to meeting regularly with Southwark Council’s Major Works Team, ENGIE and their contractors, to discuss the building works in the towers. We have raised many residents’ concerns with the Council and ENGIE, and are monitoring ENGIE’s work to try to make sure residents are kept safe and to minimise disruption. We have waited a long time for the works to the three towers, and want to make sure that the work is done well, and residents’ needs are taken into account during the works. We have been monitoring the number of workers on site and discussing the best ways to follow government guidelines, keep residents safe, and make sure the works progress.
Notice for works
All residents should receive 72 hours notice from ENGIE when there are works programmed in the common parts on their floor, or on the scaffold outside of their flat. There are no works inside residents’ homes at present, except in an emergency. The TCA is discussing with ENGIE and the Council on how to design ways of working that will meet the needs of different residents in Towers, including whether to provide a respite space, and minimising the time that any workers need to be in residents’ homes in future.
Cleaning Balconies
ENGIE have drilled holes through each of the balconies that will be used for cables for the new TV system. Some residents have washed down their balconies and the water has landed on the balcony below. Please take care when cleaning balconies, we suggest using a mop, and be aware of the effect on your neighbours.

Click here to download the full Residents Newsletter

External works:

Scaffold is now complete to all three blocks, however external works are ongoing therefore operatives will be accessing the scaffold on all elevations at various times.

Whilst scaffold is in place, please ensure that you keep all windows and doors closed/locked when you are not in the property as a safety precaution. Please also inform your home insurance provider that scaffolding is in place at your property.

Please DO NOT attempt to climb or access our scaffolding at any time! Access is strictly prohibited for residents and members of the general public. If you notice anyone trying to access our scaffolding please inform us straight away by calling your Resident Liaison Officer. To prevent scaffolding being access outside of our working hours, all access points to and from the scaffolding are closed and locked at the end of each working day. If you notice anyone on our scaffolding outside of our working hours, please contact the police immediately by calling 101.

Concrete repairs and the installation of brick ties are complete to all three blocks. Cladding rails (which hold the cladding panels in place) are ongoing to all three blocks. Paint removal to the concrete is complete at Grasmere and Windermere and will be completed at Ambleside by the end of January 2020. Please remember to keep your windows closed during working hours.

Renewal of the main roofs will commence in January 2020.

Balcony works continue and will be ongoing for the coming months. Residents will receive at least 72 hours notice before we start the repairs and coatings on your balcony.

Please ensure you remove all belongings from balconies and DO NOT hang washing as these works are messy and ENGIE cannot be held responsible for any damage that may be caused to items left on balconies.

Window renewals:

Window renewals have started on Grasmere from the top of the block down and are due to commence on the remaining blocks in the coming months. These works take approximately five working days to complete. During these works we will also be installing kitchen extractor fans. If you have any questions, please contact Senior RLO, Maureen Myles on 07795 645 754.

Fire panel access door:

We would like to remind you that the access panel behind the WC MUST remain locked at all times.

Please be reminded that once scaffold is removed your satellite dish will be removed and given back to you. These MUST NOT be re-fixed to the new cladding system as this will damage the board and void
the warranty.

Hidden Homes:

This part of the scheme will provide 13 new council rented homes across the three blocks along with new concierge and TRA facilities. These new dwellings are utilising previously unused spaced under the existing blocks. Thes works are expected to be completed by September 2020 subject to SGN completing the installation of the new gas supplies.

New TRA Facility: The new TRA facility is complete and is now in use by the TRA. There are some small items which require minor works but the facility is now fully usable. Access to the new facility is via Ilderton Road behind the Afrikiko Bar.

For further information on use of the new hall please contact the TRA directly.

Concierge: The temporary concierge is now set up behind Bowness House and is up and running.

The original exit staircase at Windermere has been removed. Staircases to Ambleside and Grasmere are likely to commence in 2020. Installatioin of the new stiarcases and removal of the old ones will be noisy, however we will try to minimise this where possible. Revised entrance/exit routes will be clearly displayed.

Reminder:

If you have any peeling paint in the areas recently painted by ENGIE please identify these to your RLO. When the new windows are installed we will be decorating some areas around the windows. At that stage we will pick up any painting defects to your kitchen and/or bathroom.

If you have any new cracks appearing these will also be made good during the decorating works following the installation of your windows. If you have any concerns over cracking please contact your allocated RLO.

Please DO NOT park in front of the site gates as access is needed for emergencies 24 hours a day.

Maintenance periods

ENGIE are responsible for any defects which may appear within your property within 12 months of completion of the internal works. At the end of this period you will be contacted by Southwark Council to advise of any defects experienced. Any defects causing damage to the property such as a leak or something you feel may pose a risk should be reported to the site team immediately and if required we will arrange to have the defect rectified. Minor defects in walls, floors, ceilings and any installed elements not posing a health and safety risk will be rectified after the 12 month defect period.

Tustin Community Association (TCA)

Tustin Community Association (TCA), the Tenants and Residents Association for all residents on the Tustin Estate has been meeting regularly with the Council's Major Work Team and ENGIe, their contractors, during the building works in the towers. We have raised many residents' concerns with the Council and the contractor, and are monitoring the work of the contractor to try to minimise the disruption to residents. We have waited a long time for the works to the three towers, and want to make sure that the work is done well, and residents' needs are taken into account during the works.

New water main pipes
The TCA is aware that some of the new water main pipes in each flat do not have insulation fitted on the pipe. If your pipe is not insulated, the cold water in the pipe can cause condensation on the pipe and water to drip inside the flat. If you have this in your flat, please report it to ENGIE to make sure the insulation work can be completed.

ENGIE Resident Liaison Officers
The TCA has raised the limited number of Resident Liaison Officers working on the Tustin Towers during the works. ENGIE has told us that they are recruiting new staff now and they will be in place before the window installation works start across the three tower blocks early next year. We will continue to monitor whether there are enough ENGIE staff for the work needed.

New TRA Hall
We are looking forward to using the new TRA Hall which is about to be handed over to the TRA. This will give residents at Tustin the opportunity to meet together and the TRA to provide a variety of different community activities.

The TCA thanks all residents for their input and support during the year and wishes everyone in the Tustin Towers festive greetings.
