Waking Watch Services for Essex premises

Where an Essex managing agent coordinates owners, occupants and contractors, identify the person authorised to agree the service. A general description of the property is not a substitute for the current procedures.

If the proposed arrangement concerns more than one Essex address, keep the advice and plans separate for each building. Differences in layout and instructions need to remain visible in the enquiry.
