Key checks for Chester-le-Street projects
Painted seals
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
Evidence first
Remedial glass and seals must suit the existing frame's evidence. Where that evidence is missing, we raise it before work starts.
Working in occupied buildings
We plan remedial programmes around residents, pupils or staff, with phasing and clear communication.
