Edgerton Estates have applied to Homes England under the Cladding Scheme to obtain funding.   This relates not only to the replacement of the cladding system, but also to the fire safety element of the building and, as such, addresses the issues relating to the atrium element and the associated RRO.

As a project office has been set up by APS & Co Ltd, having taken space in the Aura Court Business Centre on the ground floor,  overseeing works on the ground and manage the project, they have agreed to offer a limited management presence across the building and oversee remedial works to the common parts instructed by their client. Whilst they do not perform the official function of managing agent, they have created and manage this website as the most effective medium to keep Leaseholders and Tenants informed.

This website will therefore serve  to relay information on general improvement or issues around the building and offer updates on a monthly basis to works undertaken both generally and in relation to the Cladding Scheme.

The Atrium and Associated Stairwell

In the interest of complying with the regulatory reform order, works have already been undertaken to make the building safe and secure. Security has been lax and unwanted visitors were squatting in empty apartments.   Flammble paraphernalia associated with such has been removed from the premises.   

These works have been essential to allow for the safe access and egress of consultants and public bodies requiring access inspect this area of the building.  This will allow for a full works package to be designed, costed and tendered out to suitable contractors.

In terms of general maintenance, the following has been addressed:

1. General electrical works, including access gate repair, 
2. Replacement CCTV system, 
3. Prevention of bin store overload and liaison with Amey.
4. Replacement of access fire doors
5. Removal of all flytipping  debris

Ongoing Maintenance:

1. Internal spindles and cleared debris from hallways
2. Clearance of the car park of debris, full clean of such and repair work/replacement of faulty lighting and sensors
3. General inner courtyard landscaping, including re-planting of flower beds and replacement of coping boards.
4. Repainting of common areas in need of such.

Planned maintenance:

1. Resurfacing of internal courtyard
2. Re-opening of the carpark
3. Revamp of the Business Centre, together with a re-painting of roller shutters to remove the latest round of grafiti.
4. Refurbishment of the turret access stairwells.

General Maintenance in Aura Court

It is clear that the building has suffered from neglect over the past few years and requires and ongoing maintenance schedule of works.  

To this end, on Edgerton's instruction, APS has retained Craig Watson, who is familiar with the scheme and having undertaken works in the past for various parties with interests in the building.  

Craig has also been retained by APS, to manage the Cladding Scheme works on the ground and has already done a fabulous job of managing the works team, retained to undertake the fire safety works to the Atrium.

Reports of maintenance issues can be sent on this website, under the messages tab.

We will shortly be updating this page  with photos of works undertaken.
