External changes to the building

We remind all Leaseholders that before making any external changes to their flats, they must first contact P&R Management Services for permission to ensure that the works do not affect the structure or appearance of the building or the rights of other leaseholders.

Remember, you don’t own the bricks and mortar or the land on which your flat is built. Permission is required for, but not limited to; gas boiler flues, vents, pipes, waste outlets, cables, windows, balcony/patio doors, front doors, store cupboard doors, garage doors and anything else that could affect the outside fabric and appearance of the building. P&R will advise Leaseholders of any fees for their time to obtain permissions and project manage any works for and on behalf of Endymion Management Co. Ltd.

New and replacement boiler flue and ventilation grilles must be black or brown on brickwork and white on painted walls. Redundant flues or vents must be removed and blocked up. Adjoining surfaces must be made good and match existing finishes. Do not copy what has gone before

No external satellite dishes or aerials are permitted at Malting Mead.

Please refer to the FAQ section for detailed information on the approved style and specification for any replacement windows and balcony/patio doors.

Security – side gate

Due to problems with intruders in Malting Mead a keypad lock has been fitted on the pedestrian gate leading on to the footpath to the side of the development. The gate code is the same as for the gate leading into the garage area. Please ensure the gate closes and locks properly behind you.

Please be reminded that if you see someone suspicious please report it immediately to the Police by calling 101. To report rough sleepers to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council click here.

Please also ensure that all bin store doors are properly locked to discourage intruders.

New cabinet noticeboards

We have installed smart new aluminium noticeboards in the ground floor walkthroughs. These replace the old unsightly wooden panels, better present messages and greatly improve the appearance of our common areas. The cabinets will display important messages, notices, essential information and statutory Smoke-Free Regulations. We still recommend frequent visits to maltingmead.com for useful FAQ’s and more resources relating to Malting Mead.
