What is wrong with the shelter wall
The sleeve, the seal and the rack are three different jobs. Painting the steel plate shut is not one of them.
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do first / typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Cover is rusty or painted shut | The sleeve has not been opened for years | Replace with a cover that still opens: $90 to $180 |
| Light shows around the blast door | The rubber gasket has flattened | Perimeter seal: $140 to $260 |
| You want storage but cannot drill the wall | The shelter wall is not a normal partition | Boltless L-shape or U-shape rack with the cover: $280 to $580 |

|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | Exempt repairs do not need a permit. Hacking does. | Use the condo column if it is not HDB. | Use the landed column if it is not HDB. |
| Condo | Book the lift and the hours before the van arrives. | MCST by-laws sit on top of the task list. | A landed house has no MCST lift. |
| Landed | Name the storey. A roof or a gate is not a flat task. | A condo is not landed. | External work waits for safe weather and a safe ladder. |
