Category Archives: Internal Decorations

Internal decorations started

As you may have noticed the internal decorations have started.  This will mean that over the new few months there will be a lot of fresh paint applied onto the inside of Regatta Point.  Please take care when moving around areas that are being decorated.  The workmen from PFG will be starting at the Eastern end of the building and moving towards the West.

Please let Neil know immediately of any issues that you have.

Please note:
Any pictures etc that residents have put up on walls will have to be removed.
The sauna and gym will be out of service for a prolonged period for refurbishment – notice will be given.

Internal decorations to move ahead

On Wednesday the 23rd of April the Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited met in order to review the report, compiled by our surveyors, regarding the responses to our tender document for the re-decoration of the internals of Regatta Point.

It was decided that the works will include the redecoration of all common areas of the building, new windows in the gym, sauna refurbishment and redecoration of the guest rooms and caretaker’s office.

Residents will soon receive a letter informing them of the decision and inviting comment.

The work is expected to take 6 weeks to arrange and 15 weeks to complete.

This is the last stage in the general overhaul of the building, both externally and internally, that will upgrade Regatta Point so as to improve our living environment and protect the value of our properties.  The cost of these works will be covered by our sinking fund.

Guest Rooms get even better

The Directors are pleased to be able to announce that more improvements have been made to the guest rooms with the installation of televisions in each of them.  The digital TVs,  with built in DVD players,  are now available for anyone who is renting the room.

We intend to re-paint the rooms as part of the internal re-decorations that are due to take place soon – when we will also upgrade the bathroom fittings.  As a consequence we intend to increase the cost of renting the rooms at that point to £40 per night because the current £30 per night does not actually cover the costs of cleaning etc.

The Directors would love you to take the opportunity to look at the rooms now that they have TVs, more power sockets and brand new double glazing that has made them significantly  warmer and quieter.  The impact of the double glazing will be of particular interest to residents as we debate the swap out of the roadside windows for new units (as discussed at the Residents’ meeting in December).  Please ask Neil, the Caretaker, to show you around.
