Post boxes are located in the reception areas to both blocks within the development.
If you are renting the property and require a replacement post box key, then you will need to contact your landlord or letting agent directly so that they can organise for a replacement to be issued. Replacement post box keys may be chargeable by your landlord or letting agent and you will be responsible for paying the costs incurred for this service.
The windows in the property are coated aluminium double-glazed units with lockable handles.
The internal cleaning of the windows is the responsibility of the occupier and must be carried out in a safe manner. The external cleaning of the windows is the responsibility of the Managing Agent, Centrick.
The refuse stores are located externally to both blocks on the ground floor of the development.
The refuse stores are maintained by the Managing Agent, Centrick, who organise collection by Slough Borough Council.
It is important to break down any boxes placed in the recycling containers. Do not overfill the refuse containers, as this will result in them not being collected which may consequently attract vermin.
For further information, please refer to the information board located within the main entrances or alternatively contact the Managing Agent, Centrick.
This section of the Information Hub contains useful videos, information and guidance to all aspects of the properties at The Metalworks.
Please ensure that you refer to the information contained within each of the tabs to the left-hand side of the page, prior to reporting any warranty issues.
Should you discover a fire, then please dial 999 immediately to report the situation to the emergency services. It is important that you do not panic or stop to collect belongings.
In the event of a fire please do not try to tackle the fire yourself by using the fire extinguishers, unless you are trained to do so. Please do not use the lifts and descend using the nearest stairway.
The information boards located within the main entrances will provide you with information on where the emergency exits are located, as well as the fire emergency procedure for the development. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with this information.
For further information, please contact the Managing Agent, Centrick.
There is an individual video door entry system within the property that is linked to the main entrance doors to the development, which allows each resident control of visitors into the building. In order to prevent security issues, please do not provide access to anyone who you are not familiar with.
Externally, the building is accessed via a door entry system to the main entrance/external doors and is only accessible with a programmed fob. Each occupier will have their own allocated fob for access into the building.
Should you require a replacement or an additional fob, please contact the Managing Agent, Centrick, and they will confirm the cost for this service.
The ceilings and walls are finished in Armstead Contract Matt emulsion in a light grey colour. The woodwork is finished in white Dulux High Gloss emulsion.
Signs of cracking and shrinkage are normal; as the property has a ‘drying out’ period between 9-12 months. During the manufacturing of materials and the construction process, moisture has been absorbed and because of this it is important that the drying out period is gradual in order to keep cracking and shrinkage to a minimum; this can be achieved by:
Ordinarily cracks can be dealt with during decoration once the property has dried out and this isn’t something that would be covered under the warranty, however large cracks of a certain thickness may be covered under the warranty.
If you are concerned about a crack hat has appeared, then please email us a photo by logging an issue using the ‘Report an Issue’ tab at the top of this page and a response will be provided. Please note that we are only able to address cracking and shrinkage that meets the relevant warranty criteria.
White deposits may appear on external wall surfaces which is known as ‘efflorescence’. Efflorescence can be caused by the natural seepage of salts used in the construction materials. This should not be of concern, as the marks can be wiped down with a dry stiff brush. It is important not to wash the marks as it may worsen the problem.
Care must be taken when hanging pictures or similar items to walls and ceilings, as electric cables and pipework providing power, water and other services can be found immediately behind wall and ceiling finishes. Please be aware that cables usually run vertically above or below electrical sockets or switches.
The internal walls in the property are made of plasterboard with stud partitions, which are strong enough to take the weight of most pictures and other light objects when using the appropriate picture hooks and plasterboard wall plugs where necessary.
If you are renting the property and wish to hang pictures or add any additional fittings, then please obtain written consent from your landlord or letting agent.
Please Note: Changes to the fixtures, fittings and finishes within the property may void the warranty.
For residents with parking, you will find your allocated space within the basement level of the development. Please ensure that you always park within the lines of your designated space.
The car park can be accessed via the entrance/exit point located just off of Petersfield Avenue.
For further information, please contact the Managing Agent, Centrick.
