The following information has been sent to a Sandy Bay resident by Blue Chip Park Homes following a recent inquiry.  This information is provided in case residents decide this would be useful for them.  This is not a requirement, it is simply an option that some residents may be interesting in pursuing.
 
**********
 
Please see below the information regarding annual inspection surveys for homes that are still within warranty / extended warranty. 
 
We carry out surveys on all park homes and leisure lodges, of any age and have an unrivalled experience in park homes.  We cover the entire United Kingdom.
 
The cost of a First Annual Inspection Survey for a home in Canvey Island will be £425.00 Plus VAT, Total Cost £510.00 per home.  However, if we carry out 3 or more surveys on the same day we can offer a group discount making the cost £365.00 Plus VAT, Total Cost £438.00 per home. 
  
The First Inspection Survey includes the Base, Siting, Chassis, Floor Bearers, Coach Bolts, Insulation, Pipe Work, (please note the areas in bold can only be inspected if suitable trap doors are provided to the underside of the home to allow for access and maintenance), Exterior Skirting, External Walls, Windows, Doors, Roof, Barge, Fascia, Guttering and Soffit Boards, Porches, Extensions, Interior Walls, Ceilings, Floors, Damp Meter Test and Thermal Testing of Windows, Doors and Walls (when possible). Complete with a summary at the end of the report confirming our findings along with recommendations.  (Please note that we are not GAS SAFE or NICEIC registered therefore we do not carry out pressure, gas or electrical tests).
 
The inspection survey takes approximately 90 - 120 minutes, and you will receive a 15 –25 page printed report complete with full colour photographs. We can also provide estimates for any refurbishment / remedial works required and put you in touch with reputable companies within the industry.

Complete with a summary at the end of the report confirming our findings along with recommendations.  (Please note that we are not GAS SAFE or NICEIC registered therefore we do not carry out pressure, gas or electrical tests).
 
The inspection survey takes approximately 45 - 60 minutes, and you will receive a 8 –15-page printed report complete with full colour photographs. We can also provide estimates for any refurbishment/ remedial works required and put you in touch with reputable companies within the industry.

Dear Resident(s)

 

I just wanted to announce a few changes here at Sandy Bay, the first being the arrival of our new Bar and Restaurant Manager Cath and her husband Mark, both Cath and Mark have many years of experience ranging from hoteliers, head chef and running bar complexes such as the one here at Sandy Bay.

They have catered for all types of events covering many themes and have also done the occasional wedding, Cath will be more than happy to cater for your future events should you wish to hold them here at Sandy Bay.

 

I have received a number of emails regarding the recent increase in pricing and the change in menu, Kadinia sat down with our Regional Food and Beverage Manager and provided feedback from the residents as to what they would like to see on the new menu, we can of course add additional meals to run alongside the menu as specials but please allow Cath and Mark some time to settle in to their new position. I have received many emails regarding the price increase,  whilst prices have increased, they are in line to what is being offered in the local area and lower than those we offer at any of our other parks. It is unfortunate that food and beverage prices have increased substantially over the past few years and especially last year when increases reached 33%, whilst there was a small increase last year on food and drink here at Sandy Bayr, it was not the 33% that we picked up as a company.

 

Please Note - The kitchen will be closed on Monday 7th July for Breakfast as we are having the ducting cleaned and serviced.

 

Following a recent incident, I would respectfully ask that all dogs be placed in another room separating them from contractors and staff that are attending works to your home, failure to do this may result in works not being completed.

 

And finally join us from 11:45 on Sunday 13th July to celebrate 40 years of Live Aid, for further information please follow the link below.

Live Aid 40th Anniversary

 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Dear Residents,

Further to recent complaints on various areas of Sandy Bay, we would like to remind all residents who own and walk their dogs on the park to kindly pick up and dispose of any dog mess left by their pets. Dog mess bins are situated around the park for your convenience. We also request that you do not allow your dogs to mess or urinate on artificial grass belonging to the other residents. Dogs must always be kept on a short lead whilst walking on Sandy Bay, this is for both the safety of residents & the dogs themselves.

We would also like to remind residents to be mindful of their neighbours when allowing dogs on the decking area for long periods of time. Please try and ensure that dog barking is kept to a minimum by ensuring that dogs are brought back in their homes should the barking become persistent.

Many Thanks

Sandy Bay Management
