Staffordshire and West Midlands: MHLO Advisory – SFA SP/Occupants Preparation for Winter

 

With winter coming the importance of SP/SFA Tenants ensuring that their SFA/Homes are maintained with all boiler and heating systems working correctly to full capacity is paramount. This also in line with the current UK costs for utility provision (Gas/Electric), heating systems working correctly, do have a direct impact in keeping costs down.  

 

Additional: All windows, doors, sealant fittings are to be checked and reported should damage be identified.  

 

This is an SP/Occupant responsibility to check, confirm and if necessary, report. If issues are identified, they are to be reported immediately to allow repairs to be conducted ASAP. Pinnacle should confirm ‘Pinnacle Job Reference Number/s’, confirm date, time of attendance.

These then directed to Amey Defence Services (Maintenance Contractor providers for all SFA estates within HQ Centre AoR – UK East & West Midlands, Central Region).
