Maintenance

Hot Water Drain Down - Tuesday 16th November - 10am - 2pm
The hot water system will be drained on Tuesday 16th November between 10am and 2pm. This will mean that there will be no hot water available, it may also affect the provision of cold water. If you turn on your taps and nothing comes out please be sure to turn the tap back off so that you do not flood your room when the system is refilled.
We need to do this in order to facilitate important works on the system and apologise for the obvious inconvenience. 

Surveyors on site
Over the next couple of weeks there will continue to be building surveyors on site. They will be mainly focusing on the communal areas but if they do need access any room we will get in touch with you directly. There should not be any more noisy work taking place. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during these investigations!
