Questions from Solihull clients

Do you need to remove architraves?

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.

Do you cover the area around Solihull?

Yes. As well as Solihull itself we cover nearby towns including Shirley, Acocks Green and Washwood Heath.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Solihull?

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