Common questions in Atherton

Is a temporary repair enough?

A make-safe gets the door closing and latching. It is recorded as temporary until a permanent repair or replacement restores the door's certified performance.

How quickly can you attend?

It depends on location and time of day. Tell us how urgent the situation is and we will give you a firm time when you call, rather than a promise we cannot keep.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Atherton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Atherton is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Atherton?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Atherton can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
