In some of our care homes we are having fire stopping of breeches undertaken. The contractor is affixing labels on compted work and issuing a full report of where/what has been applied with photographic evidence.

My question is, can we redocorate the areas and cover the labels as we have documentation to support what has been done? Similar to a 'golden thread system'. The labels do not look appealing in a setting that is akin to a homely atsmosphere!

Thanks

Ideally not although it isn't 'prohibited'. You should check with the fire stopper to see if it  could affect any warranty they may have given. 

You could take a general image of the area to show the general location, then a close image of the label details before you remove the labels
