We were appointed in January 2020 by Estuary Housing on a three-year framework to deliver Water Risk Assessments, undertake monthly Water Temperature Testing and Water Monitoring for Analysis, and carrying out annual TMV, Tank and Booster Pump Inspections.

All these works are undertaken within live/occupied residential buildings and their portfolio of care homes.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic our teams, who are already trained to work in hazardous working environments and have the PPE and ‘face-fit’ masks as standard practice, have completed all risk assessment site works in accordance with government guidelines, mindful that a large percentage of the programme for Estuary HA was prioritised for care homes, our teams coordinated with site staff to ensure works could be carried out safety and effectively.

Our role under the Estuary Housing property portfolio includes carrying out:

• Water Risk Assessments
• Water Temperature Testing
• Water Monitoring (taking Samples) for Analysis
• Project Managing any urgent remedial works required by a third party contractor

We are working to a set programme of works, as well as Project Managing any urgent remedial actions required, to tight deadlines.

Since our appointment in January 2020, we have established a strong working partnership with Estuary. The COVID-19 Pandemic has positively forced both parties to communicate even more efficiently, of which the results are that the Risk Assessments and urgent remedial works have been completed on or ahead schedule and the client has since extended our role to include Quality and Audit control of the remedial works carried out. Although completing remedials has proven challenging, with organisations and contractors closed for the Lockdown and Tiers system, Frankham RMS has assisted Estuary to keep their portfolio compliant, and its residents and staff safe.
