Situation
Whilst on an existing callout, BASSE were taken aside by First Port to investigate a crushed wrought iron gate in Mill Hill. As a result of a recent storm, a nearby tree had fallen into the gate, damaging it on its way down.
Iron holding lugs from the gate had detached from the main working, presenting a potential danger should any civilian stumble across it.
Task
On completing the original job we turned our attention to the gate issue. , we carefully assessed the gate to diagnose the extent of damage and the options available. Upon inspection, our team found that the gate hadn’t split or lost any parts, it was just badly misshapen.. Luckily this meant that it wouldn’t need to be completely replaced; instead, it would just need to be taken to a workshop to be repaired.
Action
We made a call to a partner we had worked with previously. Based in Peterborough, they confirmed that they could fix the iron gate and replace any missing part.
Firstly, we had to safely remove the damaged gate. And transported it off-site to our partner’s workshop to be repaired.
The next day, our partner started work on the iron gate – re-attaching the missing parts and ensuring it was safe for purpose again. Within a week, it was completely renovated and successfully re-installed on site by BASSE.
