Making changes to your home
Before undertaking any changes to the apartment you should
consider the following:
Restrictions within the lease
Residents should always ensure that any proposed alterations
to the property are not forbidden by the terms of the lease.
Maintaining the integrity of fire and acoustic protection
Each apartment has been designed to minimise the spread of
fire and noise within the building in accordance with building
regulations. Making structural changes (such as kitchen or
bathroom renovations) could damage or compromise fire
or acoustic protection and should only be undertaken after
consulting the managing agent and seeking the prior approval
of the landlord.
Suitable fixings
Light and medium-weight fixtures can be attached directly to
the finished dry-lined walls using fixings which are compatible
with the wall system. Any heavy fixtures to support items such
as a plasma or LCD televisions should be fixed and installed by
a professional.
Fitting items to floors, walls or ceilings
Caution should be exercised as electrical cables and water
pipes may be present. Cables, which usually run in a vertical
direction from switches and sockets, may be located by use of
a cable detector. Ensure that the fixings used will support the
load and are appropriate for the material which is being fixed
into. Consider employing a competent person to undertake all
work.
Electrical work in the home
Prior to contemplating or undertaking any work to the electrical
installations within the apartment, you need to be aware that
there are restrictions upon what you may do as prescribed by:
-
Covenants contained in the lease
-
Government legislation
Therefore for legal reasons and your own health and safety you
are strongly advised to consult the managing agent for further
guidance prior to undertaking any changes or alterations to the
apartment electrical installation.
