How we work on your site
- Fabric and fire
- Yewdale contract fabrics certified to BS 5867 Part 2 Type B, with the certificate for the specified fabric supplied on every commercial order. A Type C certified fabric is available where the specification calls for it.
- Child safety
- Devices to BS EN 13120 are fitted and adjusted on every unit, with chains and cords secured at the correct height. Mandatory in schools, nurseries and care settings.
- Fixings and substrate
- Self-drilling fixings into aluminium frames. Rated cavity anchors in plasterboard, or hardened screws where a stud is confirmed. Masonry drilling uses on-tool HEPA extraction and face fit tested P3 masks.
- Working at height
- EN 131 professional access equipment, inspected and tagged before use. Two fitters, one working and one at ground level watching the area below. IPAF and PASMA carded for powered access and towers.
- Occupied buildings
- We ask to see the asbestos register at induction before anyone drills, and we stop and check rather than guess on any material the register does not cover.
- Getting it done
- Seven to ten days from survey to fitting, and we work around your hours. Project specific RAMS come to you before we start.
