Grenfel fire

[noseall]

How long till they make anyone living in a thatched cottage have a 24 hour fire warden?

Depends how many stories it has.

Do you suppose fire detection systems, of any variety are a waste of time?

Flammable material is used in buildings everywhere. Surely it’s how it’s encased that is important? I wouldn’t hesitate to use celotex under plasterboard.

I would prefer Quinn, having been shown that it doesn't burn.

 

[Dangee]

no. Do you Nosey?

 

[Dangee]

Do these companies not have to pass independent testing? Companies used to to have a kite mark. Did it have a CE mark?

 

[Bodd]

Wrong.

You really wouldn't know!

 

[noseall]

no. Do you Nosey?

I think fire /smoke detection or prevention is a valuable asset in any occupied building.

 

[noseall]

Building control are just part of the gravy train.

Im interested to hear you thoughts in how you imagined this. Was it a dream or a hallucination?

It did a lot of work in London. I see the shocking quality of work, walls going up before everything was completed behind those walls.
Inspectors coming to see work I was in charge of, I would be told this and that was not right and would have to be changed. Then no one ever coming back to inspect......

 

[Dangee]

Same. I’ve lost count of the amount of fire collars we would fit to soil pipes passing through floors that would need concreting in position to be able to work. Probably 98% weren’t, just hidden behind soil pipe boxing’s.

We will be chastised over this very sad event for the next 500 years, it will overtake memorial day soon. It was a tragic event but we need to learn and move on.

Co detectors are also a good asset

Legal requirement in Scotland for all fossil fuel burning appliances

Gas detection is also a requirement under certain circumstances for commercial buildings and school plant rooms

Not that Impressed with some of em tbh
Not sensitive enough imo

But they tick a box


(natural gas)

You are confusing incompetence with benefitting (financially) - i.e 'gravy train'.

Please explain how you imagine BC are beneficiaries of the Celotex gravy train?

Incidentally - BC are not arbiters of quality. It is not in their remit.

BC are requested (by the applicant or their representative) to visit a site. Didn't you know?

Celotex carried out a fire test on there insulation it had to be aborted due to fire spread

It became dangerous

They carried out a 2nd test and hid certain flame retardent boarding in the test.

This test passed the criteria

Results from. The 1st test were hushed up
