There are a number of factors which cause damage to buildings in the UK. While wear and tear from age is the most common, sometimes there are incidents which serve to speed up the cause of this damage and make it worse. The gale force winds and heavy rainfall most of us had to endure throughout October and November are all too familiar examples of such incidents. While it is essential to repair buildings damaged by such weather conditions, it is not always possible to carry repairs out immediately. In such cases, it is crucial to at the least secure the building in a way that prevents anyone coming to harm. When a building is taller than one storey, fitting debris netting is an easy yet effective way of achieving this.

Debris netting is a common sight around buildings which are either being constructed or require repair. It can often seem like the netting is designed to keep the final appearance of the building a secret, but it is actually in place for the protection of workers and everyone who passes the building.

Falling debris is the single biggest risk with all construction, renovation and repair work. That’s why everyone working on or visiting a site wears a hard hat. As it is neither practical nor possible to provide such measures for everyone in the area, it is important to do everything possible to ensure that people are not at risk from chunks of concrete or debris falling from the site. Time and again, the debris netting we have fitted has proven to be the best way of achieving this.
