What to expect/how this may impact you
Saw cutting and compacting noise on the northern terrace due to the installation of the pavers.

There will be an air-heating shutdown to the entire building while the heating pump is replaced and plinths are poured.
The shutdown is anticipated to last for a 2 to 3 day period, and expected to be undertaken within the next fortnight - actual dates will be confirmed prior to the air-heating shutdown.

Intermittent noise due to drilling and floor stripping.
