Fire doors: last chance for free defect works Leaseholders
If your front door's fire-door defect works are still outstanding, the Freeholder is paying for them now — but slots aren't guaranteed. Scan the QR code on your door to check, and if works are still needed, email the managing agent and copy info@egra.org.uk as soon as you can.
Miss this programme and you'll have to arrange and pay for compliant works yourself, usually around £500 + VAT. The details are in The Dispatch.
