Mila Window and Door Maintenance rise to the challenge of replacing sealed units seven storeys up in a high-rise office block in Sheffield.
Contracts Manager Dean Bradford takes up the story. “When Arc Engineers approached us to see if we could help them by replacing sealed units seven storeys up in an office block we knew we could do it; but we also knew that there would be significant challenges”.
The sealed units had ‘exploded’ internally so our first job was to take out the internal panes and board them up to make them safe; the main challenge was how to remove the units externally and then replace them with new ones.
It is fair to say that the material cost of the job was really fairly negligible, the cost was in the access equipment and the management – which included having to work with the local authority to close part of the road whilst the works were completed, which we did on a Sunday to try to ease the traffic burden and disruption.
