01 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
Do not disguise defects with decorative work
Explain whether the concern is cosmetic, operational or noted in an inspection. A fresh finish can hide damage or identification without resolving the underlying issue. Keep existing records available and ask for a defined maintenance scope before decorative work is used to address a reported door concern.
02 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
Context for the Pimlico maintenance visit
For one flat entrance, establish whether the building has a wider set of findings or an agreed appearance. Share these instructions with the required performance information. Choosing a visually matching door alone does not resolve ownership, management approval or the specification for the complete opening.
03 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
A record of the actual work
Ask for the work at your Pimlico 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.
