The meter that records the usage (and bill) for the two stairwell lights is likely housed in that flat opposite you. It is that way in this block.
The man who moved in below me was confused by having two meters until I reasoned that by tracing the wiring so we could find out which was his meter.
Last week we had two men subcontracted by HH to examine stairwells. They also looked in lofts seeking
asbestos. The old exhaust pipes from the previous gas warm air system are still in the loft and they bagged samples and said they suspected
asbestos.
So - if this indicates a plan to reroof (which they said it was)
asbestos removal will increase costs and further postpone it
PS just thought of another complication that could affect reroofing - your block has an owner occupier likely still using gas warm air so they can't remove that one.
