Premises Committee



The premises committee have this year made sure that the long neglected
fabric of 52 Clapham High Street has and continues to be taken care of.



Loose chimney stacks have been made good, cracked and/or missing coping
stones have been replaced on the roof.  The repair of various outside window
sills and outside brickwork has taken place.



Much tidying has been undertaken in the basement and neglected plastering
and brickwork has been remedied so that we are able to make more functional
use of our available space.  The plastering will be complete in the basement
in the coming months.



By the time of ADM the building will have been completely re-wired by a
reputable electrical firm.  We failed various electrical tests and it's
previous state was a danger and a fire hazard.



New windows are planned to replace the few rotten-beyond-repair ones we
have.



A shower will now be able to be installed because we have created the
necessary space for it.



The flooring in various areas still needs attention.  This will be decided
on the basis of quotes and sustainability.



The conference room flooring is probably most pressing but this can only
sensibly proceed when we have been able to resolve the problems that our
neighbours' "unkempt" flat roof present us with.  We share a drainpipe into
our building and when it gets blocked with rubbish/debris from their roof it
has various repercussions for our own building.



These difficulties are also being dealt with.



As well as for our own practical use, safety and general care many of the
measures mentioned above are necessary to fit our insurer's requirements.
