Major works are large-scale repairs, renovations or improvements (if the lease allows) to a building’s structure or shared areas. Common examples include but are not limited to: internal decorations, roof replacements, fire alarm installation and associated health and safety works, lift refurbishments, and external redecorations.
In areas like Kensington and Chelsea, where historic homes and mansion blocks are common, these works are vital to preserve both aesthetic and structural value. If the cost for any one leaseholder exceeds £250, a Section 20 consultation is legally required.

- Service Charge Administration: Transparent cost sharing based on your lease
