BALCONIES AND TERRACES
Canary Riverside is an upmarket, prestige estate. Residents can help ensure it presents a neat external appearance by adhering to the lease/estate regulations.
Please do not hang items such as washing on your balcony/terrace nor use it to store bulky items including prams and bicycles.
Barbecues are a fire risk and are strictly prohibited.
Storing items on balconies and terraces is a potential fire risk (as well as being unsightly to residents in neighbouring flats).
Unsecured items on balconies can become dislodged in high winds. Items such as seat cushions should be removed when not in use and furniture must be properly secured to prevent the possibility of any injury or damage occurring. Even a small item falling from a high floor could cause serious damage to persons or property.
On no account should cigarettes, lit or otherwise, or any other items be discarded from balconies or windows.
Hanging fixtures from external balcony ceilings is not allowed as puncturing the external finish will allow air and moisture into the building fabric.
Care should be taken when hanging fixtures to external walls facing onto balconies. Fixings to take the weight of, for example, hanging baskets, should be of the resin fixing type. This involves securing the fixing into a carefully drilled hole with resin cement. NB: The expanding fixing type should not be used. This is due to the facing bricks having hollow cavities that will collapse under the loads applied by expanding fixings.
The balcony floor and balustrade is constructed from Iroko plank flooring.
