We are responsible for the cyclical upkeep of the communal areas for our customers. This covers a large geographical area and our customers include market rent, shared ownership, and independent living communities on many estates or a whole estate. We also provide a reactionary service where we have to deal with hazards which can be anything from dumped items to clearing snow on our independent living blocks. We're also responsible for the management of the trees and like to retain as many as possible or replant if any are removed. We believe that the trees play a big part in our communities by providing shade in the summer and promote a healthy wellbeing as well as offsetting our carbon footprint.
