Block Management Roofing

Roofing for Nottingham Block Managers

Section 20 Consultation Support

The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Section 20, requires freeholders and managing agents to consult leaseholders before carrying out qualifying works costing more than £250 per leaseholder. This means a Notice of Intention, a period for leaseholder nominations, an estimates stage with at least two quotes, and a Notice of Estimates before work can proceed. We support this process with detailed written specifications, itemised estimates suitable for Section 20 notices, and professional condition reports that justify the proposed works. Our documentation is designed to withstand tribunal challenge.

Reserve Fund Planning

Communal roof replacement is one of the largest capital expenditure items a block will face. A detailed condition survey with a 5-year and 10-year cost forecast allows the managing agent to set sinking fund contributions that build adequate reserves before the work is needed. We provide survey reports with photographic evidence, condition grading, estimated remaining life, and projected replacement costs at current prices plus inflation. Reports are formatted for inclusion in Section 20 documentation and annual service charge budgets.

Communal Roof Expertise in Nottingham

Nottingham has significant leasehold flat stock across the city centre, the Lace Market conversions, purpose-built blocks in Sneinton and Radford, and converted Victorian properties in Sherwood and Mapperley. Each block type presents different communal roofing challenges. City centre conversions often have complex flat roof arrangements with multiple levels and drainage systems. Victorian conversions in Sherwood have shared pitched roofs where individual leaseholder access rights create coordination challenges. Purpose-built blocks in Sneinton have single large roof areas that require coordinated replacement programmes.

Resident Communication and Access

We provide advance notice letters for residents, coordinate scaffold installation around communal access routes, and schedule work to minimise disruption to residents. For blocks with parking courts, we coordinate vehicle movements around scaffold and skip placement. Named site contacts and progress updates keep the managing agent informed throughout. Scaffold permits through Nottingham City Council are arranged as part of the project management.

Documentation Standards

Every block management project produces: dated photographic condition report, detailed written specification, itemised estimate (suitable for Section 20 notices), risk assessment and method statement, progress reports during works, completion certificate with snagging resolution, 10-year workmanship guarantee, and material warranty documentation. All documentation is retained for 6 years and available digitally for managing agent records.

Your Protection

10-year written workmanship guarantee on all work. Materials carry separate manufacturer warranties of 15-30 years depending on the product. NFRC registered with £5 million public liability insurance. The guarantee is dated, written, and transferable if you sell the property. If a fault appears in covered work during the guarantee period, we come back and put it right at no cost.
