Hi All,
We had our fire escape newly installed about a year ago, and it is
already starting to rust in places. This doesn't seem normal to me,
and I don't think the company has done the work properly.
What do you think I need to check physically on the fire escape,
such that I can basically tell the guy "you should have done X,Y,Z,
this isn't good enough etc etc", and so he doesn't try and fob me
off with "oh, didn't you know you have to repaint these every year"
or similar
Cheers!!

Outside iron does have to be painted every year...take a look at the
forth bridge. ;-)

Do ya reckon?
Paint will blister (more so on iron) from the suns heat which will then be
enough for rain(water)to penetrate below the surface and find its way onto
the steel,this will then start lifting the paint more heavily as time
progresses.
Hence why maintenance of the outside of a property has to be maintained
where and when its needed every year to keep it in good condition.
I'll stick with my opinion,thanks
