This website has been created by Chamomile Court’s directors* to make life easier by signposting Chamomile Court flat owners to our managing agent Carringtons for day-to-day issues and other information needed to keep tenants safe, in a clean, well-maintained environment. Those are our priorities while meeting our legal duties under the Companies Act.

*On behalf of Queens Road, Block F Company

Contractors clean the building every week. We can all help them by leaving the garden in a tidy state and putting our loose items for recycling into the large green containers outside (please remember, only put loose items into the recycling container, do not put items in bin bags in there). Food waste belongs in the appropriate container.

Other household waste items, in black bin bags please, go into the large black bins on both sides of the building. The council collects refuse on Wednesday from the Gandhi side of the building and on the Yunus Khan side (with recycling collections on both sides also on Wednesday). If the recycling bin on one side of Chamomile Court is full please use the one on the other side. Please register for an online account with the council's site  Home | London Borough of Waltham Forest to report non-collection on the relevant date for your side of the building.

People with large items for collection should contact Waltham Forest council to book large item collection (if your item is being collected from outside the building please leave a note regarding your item taped to it, showing it comes from your flat and is being taken away by the council under their reference number on a given date - please see the example later on this site). Each of us can report fly-tipping online via Report fly-tipping | London Borough of Waltham Forest

How do I register with Waltham Forest council to receive a landlord’s licence or arrange other services?

You can find out more concerning the council’s mandatory landlords’ licencing scheme via this link Licensing for rented property | London Borough of Waltham Forest 

What standards of behaviour do tenants have to follow?

To be good neighbours we should at least: 

(1) Keep noise levels down, especially between 10.00pm and 10.00am. 

(2) Avoid leaving personal items in corridors, as they can obstruct escape from the building in the event of a fire. Also, keep windows in corridors closed to avoid rain damaging surfaces inside the building. 

(3) Contact the Police if we have concerns for other people’s safety around the building. 

(4) Arrange with the council for large item disposal.

Who is the managing agent and what do they do?

Carringtons Property Management (telephone 01279 701239) is responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of Chamomile Court and practical issues like issuing share certificates. If we have concerns about issues affecting life for residents Carringtons are the people to speak to. Please note Directors of the Queens Road Block F Company are not contact points for day-to-day issues. Please speak to Carringtons about day-to-day matters.

As mentioned above we are each responsible for the proper disposal of our own large items (including cookers, beds, mattresses, bathroom fittings, furniture and white goods).  Please use the first of the key contact links to work with the council to make your arrangements for a free large item removal. 

Once you have arranged with the council to get your large items removed, please copy the information from the image on the left to create your own label (or click the Get Label Here button) and stick that label to your large item, so your neighbours know when the items will be collected from outside Chamomile Court.

Important fire safety information for residents was circulated in August 2022. In case you haven't seen the information (illustrated in the picture on the left) you can access a pdf copy of the material by clicking the button below.

Please note that work on upgrading the fire safety of the building's four entrances began in 2024. Contractors undertook fire safety inspections on individual flat doors on Tuesday 12th November. Emails on this topic were sent by Carringtons (please see the image below and to the left of this section). Residents were helped to know what was happening and how to book a time for their free visit. Please cooperate with requests linked to the next phase of this project, so that you and your household benefit from greater safety later in 2026.

Please note that the fire safety work on internal flat doors is scheduled to take place between Monday the 22nd of June and Friday the 17th of July. Please contact Carringtons if you have any queries concerning how this work will impact your flat.

The lines showing car parking spaces belonging to Chamomile Court are being repainted on Thursday the 2nd of July with work starting at 08.30am. Please make sure any vehicles normally parked outside the building are removed before then so the work can begin promptly.

Thank you for your patience while these works are being completed.
