Purpose

Bristol City Council has a duty defined in
various acts of parliament in particular the landlord and tenant
act 1985 section 11 to maintain and repair its homes. Failure to
maintain our homes would result in a disrepair claim and court
action against the council. Poor repair and maintenance both
threatens the health and well-being of occupants and has a negative
impact on the value of homes as an asset. As part of its blocks
maintenance programme, this contract is to replace the existing EPS
cladding system with a A1/A2 compliant system and apply a
waterproof coating, and associated repairs to the existing roof
coating. This will ensure a compliant external wall system is in
place and also address water ingress issues at the block.
