Welcome to our site works update for November
Site update
Access to the east wing is now restricted to the residents.
Current works
The east wing is currently being surveyed. Isolation of the services i.e. water, heating, and electricity have now been shut off - as a result of these works the heating system had some minor issues but we are working hard to resolve this as soon as possible, we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Hard and soft strip have started and are due to be complete before Christmas.
Remedial work
As a reminder for those living in the west wing, please note any works you would like the handyman to carry out in your apartment. The handyman will perform tasks such as mounting shelves, blinds, TVs, coat hooks, picture frames, and assembling flat-pack furniture etc. Please then pass your list to Peabody's Scheme Manager, Alex to be communicated to the site team.
Further update
Scaffolding has been erected around the west wing due to a leak. Alex will be in contact with the residents affected.
If you have any queries about the works being carried out please speak to Site Manager, Sergiu on 07977 165 330.
The Equans site team at Chelsea Court received an amazing score of 45/45 from their recent audit visit by the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) after scoring top marks in each of the three categories.
On 17th October, a CCS monitor visited the scheme and carried out their audit of the site, commenting things like "This is an excellent project which is demonstrating robust commitment to the CCS Code of Considerate Practice. The site was seen to be very clean, tidy and well organised. The provision of a site specific microsite is commendable. Emphasis is placed on consideration for the elderly residents and the site team strive to ensure that there is minimal disruption whilst the works are in progress."
The CCS is an independent organisation founded to raise standards in the construction industry to ensure all construction sites present an image of competent management, efficiency, awareness of environmental issues and above all neighbourliness. Monitors from the scheme regularly audit our sites to ensure we are adhering to the scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice which is designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirement.
Each audit is split into three categories; respect for the community, protecting the environment and valuing the workforce each with a potential score out of 15 with a total combined max score of 45 available. To score above 13 in any category warrants an excellent level of achievement for that category.
Congratulations to Site Manager, Sergiu and the rest of the site team, who work so hard every day to maintain such high standards

According to the HSE, accidents on scaffolding involving members of the public due to unauthorised trespassing is on the rise due to the current trends:
- Climbing for fun
- Free running
- Live PokemonGo Running
The primary driver for Peabody and EQUANS, is your safety and that of other visitors and our workers. With this in mind, we would like to remind everyone that the following should apply:
- If you see anyone on the scaffolding outside of our working hours of Monday-Friday or at the weekend, please contact the Police immediately on 101
- Only employees of EQUANS and authorised client representatives are allowed on the scaffolding
- For safety reasons, any other persons on the scaffold will be deemed to be trespassing, which will mean that the Police will be contacted
If any trespassing issues are reported we will take punitive precautionary measures, which may include installing fencing to prevent access. This is something we don't really want to do but safety has to be a key factor.
If you have an emergency outside of our normal working hours (Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm), please call Peabody's Out of Hours Number: 0300 123 3456.
Welcome to our site works update for August

Remedial Appointments

Welcome to our site works update for July
The Chelsea Court site team is proud to announce that they have achieved handover for the first phase. This means that residents will soon be able to move into their refurbished homes.
The site team recently had labourers on site installing curtains in the apartments in preparation for when residents move in.
Second Phase
As the first phase (West Wing) has now been achieved, the site team is now beginning the second phase (East Wing). Those of you that live in the East Wing would have received a letter regarding asbestos surveying.
Monday the 1st of August, we may require access to the homes to carry out the surveys. The access request has been mentioned in the letter as allowing us access to all homes is not compulsory as only some would be required. Surveys will be carried out from 8am-5pm.
A reminder that the surveys being completed is safe and residents do not have to worry about health and safety.
Moving Schedule
As residents will soon be able to move back into the West Wing, a moving schedule has been created to ensure that the transition from the currently occupied wings to the newly refurbished wing is carried out smoothly. The move will occur in groups of 2 - 4 at a time.
