Questions from Aston clients

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

Which fire safety law applies in Aston?

Aston is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Aston?
