Can I change the wooden windows? Whose responsibility is it to change rotten windows/doors?
Any exterior alterations must first receive permission from the Association’s management and be confirmed in writing. On some developments local planning authorities insist on timber replacements for windows – on others UPVC may be used. However this can only be carried out with the approval of the ECA and subject to stringent conditions on appearance. The cost of replacement must be met by the resident concerned, unless the windows are still under guarantee – but the maintenance and painting of the windows comes under the service charge.
