Same Day Response Aluminium Door Repair – Clifton Trade Bathrooms, High Wycombe
We were called to provide a same day response call out to a commercial aluminium door on the entrance at Clifton Trade Bathrooms, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
On initial inspection we found that the door was off, disconnected from the closer and on the floor.
We carried out a risk assessment and deployed our yellow men barriers to designate a safe working area. Once the door was removed and placed adjacent to the opening, it was apparent that the pivot had snapped.
