The Provision of a Roofing Repairs Service for Housing and Corporate Buildings
Hillingdon manages a housing stock of approximately 11,000 properties, a mixture of houses, bungalows, blocks of flats, tower blocks and sheltered housing schemes of various types, constructions and age. The roofs to these properties are generally pitched or flat, have a variety of coverings and are in various conditions of repair. The Council has a legal responsibility to maintain these roofs in good order and will undertake repairs as and when required.
Whilst the services required by Hillingdon are primarily roofing repairs, works to guttering, downpipes, fascias, soffits, chimneys and roof windows will also be required. To that end scaffolding services and elements of plumbing, carpentry, brickwork are also involved.
The Contract is predominantly for a Disabled Adaptations Service based around the Occupational Therapy functional needs of our residents and the associated required home adaptation Works.
The London Borough of Hillingdon undertakes a Disabled Adaptation Service across the borough which is geared towards the provision of facilities / adaptations within privately owned and tenanted properties in order to meet the individual needs of the resident. All initial assessments of individual needs will be undertaken by Hillingdon's Occupational Health & Adaptations Team with the proposed adaptation then allocated to the contractor to initiate the OT and Surveyors recommendations.
