For block managers, RMC directors and head porters

Run the works on your building without running the front desk.

You are the person residents find when something goes wrong on site. Noisy Neighbour gives your building a standing page where residents read the week's notices and report problems straight to the contractor, and where you see every thread without being the one in the middle.

  • Everything is free for your first 7 days. No card needed to start.

Sound familiar?

Three things that go wrong without a page

01

You are the complaints desk

The lift is out for the scaffold, the bay is full of skip, the drilling started early. Each one is a resident at your door or on your phone, and you did not do any of it.

02

The porter knows and nobody else does

The head porter hears everything first and passes it on by memory. What was reported, what the contractor said and when it was fixed lives in nobody's file.

03

The directors want it in writing

The board asks for a report on how the works went for residents. You have a WhatsApp group, an inbox and a good recollection, and none of them is a record.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself

Nothing for neighbours to install. The QR code opens a web page, and everything happens on that page.

01

Set up the building

Enter the address and the number of dwellings. The page is the building's own, so it is there for every programme of works, not set up again per job.

02

Add the residents and the porters

Invite residents by email from the list, put the QR sheet in the lobby and the lifts, and add the porters so they see the whole picture.

03

The contractor posts notices and answers issues

The site team posts the week's work. A resident's report goes straight to them, you and the porters see it, and the reply and the fix are dated.

Questions

What people ask before they start

Can the porters use it?

Yes. Porters join the building's page and see every issue and notice. They can reply on the block's issues, so a report raised at the desk is handled in the same thread as one raised from a phone.

What does it cost?

£1 per dwelling per week, billed every 4 weeks. A block of forty flats is £160 every 4 weeks. Residents never pay, and your first block is free for 7 days.

We have a managing agent. Who sets it up?

Either of you. If the agent runs several blocks, they can set yours up under their organisation and add you; if you run the building day to day, set it up yourself and invite them.

What about between programmes of works?

The page stays and so does the resident list. Use it for a roof repair, a lift replacement or a lobby refurbishment without setting anything up again.

Do neighbours need to install anything?

No. The QR code opens an ordinary web page. A neighbour who wants the notices by email leaves an address; everyone else just reads the page.
