Key Principle

The extent of a leaseholder's demise determines who is responsible for balcony works: where only the balcony 'floor surface' and the airspace above were demised, the management company was responsible for repairing and where necessary replacing the balcony flooring, and a repairing/replacement obligation may extend to wholesale replacement of an element (here combustible timber with non-combustible material) even where not every part is in immediate disrepair.
