You ring the number to report a snag, it gets looked at weeks later, then within a few days breaks again. It's cheap and nasty.
Thanks Hovis that’s an important piece of information re sprinklers and fire containment.
Certainly a major issue and seriously expensive to resolve as retro fit.
Why the design team allowed this to be deleted is a serious concern -probably didn’t even tell MAG of the implications..
I will make some quiet calls when back in the UK . Not that I can do anything but I do know people in that frame of work and it would be interesting to find out a little more.
As for the snagging yes can be a pain in the butt to get answers and indeed the attention of the compliance people that’s an industry wide problem.
So what is in the crypt ?
