01 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
Consult records before altering hardware
Where a property has specific management requirements, provide these alongside the observed defect. Record what hardware is present and what has previously been changed. Maintenance decisions should consider the supported arrangement and the agreed scope, rather than treating a familiar development door as permission for a standard replacement component.
02 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
Context for the Barbican maintenance visit
For a managed residential property, request the relevant door and alteration requirements before proposing changes. Appearance, hardware and approval processes must come from the actual property information. The development name alone does not establish a specification or authorise an individual replacement.
03 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
A record of the actual work
Ask for the work at your Barbican property to be identified against the original door references. The record should distinguish completed maintenance, items requiring further information and openings not accessed. Where our LPS 1197 scope applies, this concerns inspection, maintenance and repair of hinged and pivoted timber fire doorsets under term contracts; it is not a blanket certification of the building.
