i had a chin wag today with a wc; and was told that all window cleaning is being taken on
by one firm and that some one had seen ten vans parked up at a place having wfp
systems fitted.
so that people living in council houses / flats will get them cleaned by one firm
seems a bit of a scare story? any body heard the same
Some tenancy agreements will include for services, and paid for through the rent. Estate management companies handle this sort of thing and put out window cleaning for tender just as anywhere else.
Any such contract has by law to be competitive, no one company can own an exclusive right to clean all a particular authorities properties.
As to having service contracts forced upon council housing tenants, that also is illegal where the tenant would otherwise have the option to do without a non essential service.
The cutting of grass on communal spaces, painting of outsides of properties etc is a necessary maintenance exercise which the housing authority has a legal obligation to provide, but again it must be by competitive tender.
Someones been pulling your p*****r.
