Re: Gate survey
When you say gate survey, is this an automated gate with say buzzer of fob entry or just a standard wooden/metal push pull gate ?
Who or what is asking for the measurement?

Who is asking you to do this and for what purpose?
Are you asking if there is a legal size gap measurement?
what kind of gate is this and what does it control?

Re: Gate survey
The fact that you are asking shows you don't have the required training. Get the pro's in and make a cuppa

Re: Gate survey
This is a very odd response? I would presume from your reply you know exactly what the question is being asked, but are not open to advice on the matter…..??
Gazza and I are as you can read from our reply’s are asking additional information. Of all the many, many training courses I have been on over the years nothing around gate hing gap sizing has ever come up, perhaps you could enlighten us on what trading is needed?

Re: Gate survey
He needs a gate survey to ensure they're safe and doing the job they're supposed to do. For example, finger gaps around edges, gap between gate and ground, no deterioration around hinges etc. This is a job for a professional, not a caretaker who's been in the job for 6 weeks with no training, hence - get the pros in to survey your gates. Clear enough????Sparky wrote: ↑18th Apr 2023 at 12:09am This is a very odd response?

Firstly where does he state he requires a survey? i read this to mean 1 gate.
Secondly whose to say he is only a caretaker? If hes is a Site/premises/facility/estates Manager or maintenance manager then perhaps its fairly assumed by his bosses that he has the required knowledge and skill set to carry out what i would argue is a reletavely stright forward task.
This does not require an external contractor which comes with added costs- just some help and guidance from us (after all that is what this group is for right?)
but in order to help and guide him better we are simply asking for a bit more information.
