Issue details

Roofing Works at Barton House

The current roof covering is well past the end of its serviceable life and has been subject to numerous repairs of varying extents over the past 6 years. During this time there have been significant and repeated leaks at this block. A condition survey was undertaken highlighting numerous issues causing ponding and excessive water ingress, resulting in failure of the existing roofing system. Due to the amount of repairs, and issues it would be impractical to undertake any further repairs. The complete roof system will need to be stripped back to the concrete slab and a new insulated roof system installed. These works are considered essential and of an urgent priority. Currently all seven flats on the top floor are suffering with varying degrees of water penetration. Three flats have housing condition (disrepair) claims. All flats are currently occupied; however Housing Services are in the middle of negotiating settlements with those flats which are subject to disrepair claims. Part of those negotiations is an option to move on a permanent basis.
