Your questions answered
How quickly can you survey in Ashton-under-Lyne?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Ashton-under-Lyne visits with other work in Greater Manchester. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

For FD30 and FD60 in most buildings, yes. Steel suits plant areas, high security and longer ratings.
