Notice board
What is happening, and when.
Scheduled works, compliance inspections and board business affecting Swift House and Soar House. Dated items appear here before they start.
Current & upcoming
Scheduled items
If a notice affects access, parking, water or power, Letters will also write to affected apartments directly. Teal means upcoming, amber means it affects access or services, grey means done.
Not seeing something you were told about?
If a contractor has been on site or you have had a letter about works that are not listed here, tell the board at directors@wqmc.org so it can be added. The board would rather hear it twice than not at all.
The compliance year
What is inspected, and how often.
These are the recurring statutory and insurance-driven checks on the common parts. They run to fixed dates rather than being picked up when they fall due.
| Item | Frequency | Carried out by |
|---|---|---|
| Fire risk assessment | Reviewed annually | Competent assessor, actions tracked by the board |
| Fire doors & escape routes | Quarterly inspection | Managing agent, with contractor sign-off |
| Emergency lighting | Monthly flick test, annual drain-down | Contractor via managing agent |
| Electrical installation condition report | Every five years | NICEIC contractor, remedials priced to the board |
| Lightning protection | Tested annually | Specialist contractor |
| Water hygiene / legionella | Risk assessment reviewed every two years, monitoring throughout | Contractor via managing agent |
| Lifts | Six-monthly LOLER thorough examination, servicing between | Lift contractor and insurer's engineer |
| Buildings insurance | Renewed annually | Managing agent, board approves the terms |
Certificates and assessments for the common parts are available to leaseholders on request to directors@wqmc.org. Anything inside your own apartment — your own smoke alarms, appliances, gas and electrics — remains your responsibility under the lease.
