Whatever the weather

You arrive at the airport, guide books thumbed through on the flight, list of must see attractions at the ready, only to step out into a torrential downpour. Or so you thought. In fact, it’s the first of five days constant rain, which to a holidaymaker could spell disaster, especially if you have small children in tow.

Your nightmare scenario – stuck in one family sized hotel room, at best kids bouncing on their shared bed, you only grateful that they are not yet fighting.

Not so if you have the good fortune to have thought ahead, and found your perfect flat for rent London. One that is most likely eating into less of your budget than a hotel would have done. You have more space, a separate bedroom or bedrooms for the kids, a living area, and a sit down kitchen. What this means is that you won’t be suffering through the deluge outside anymore. Many holiday apartments even provide a selection of games, or details of local attractions that you can get to easily. They often come, as hotel rooms do, with cable TV and internet connection, but thankfully with enough space that you can relax in another room should your children want to watch Madagascar for the third time…

Many country locations even provide outdoor wet gear, so you can all get your wellies on and enjoy the beautiful surroundings no matter what is forecast.

In most towns and cities there are ample convenient transport links to get around to major attractions and in many holiday apartments you will find information on these provided or you can browse at your leisure on the internet which is included in the price of the apartment.

If you have been visiting tourist attractions all day in the rain, perhaps that last thing you want is to sit in a restaurant with wet feet, and that slightly chilled, damp feeling all over. You would rather take a hot bath, and relax with your feet up, toasting warm with a bowl of hot soup in front of you, freshly made in your own kitchen. This is another great benefit of staying in flats for rent in London. Not only the freedom to do this but the fact that you are not paying the price of room service!

It doesn’t matter if it rains or pours, you will return home relaxed, refreshed and ready for anything.

The benefits:

There are many benefits to having one of our mobile massage therapists come to you.

Mums no longer need to book a babysitter while stressed-out execs find they can now squeeze in some me time at the office during their lunch break and elderly and disabled customers can enjoy a service that mobility problems may have rendered unfeasible previously.

That is not all. Having a relaxing beauty treatment or massage at home also multiplies the feel-good effects. Clients feel more comfortable in their own surroundings, helping the de-stressing process to kick in more swiftly, while the fact that they don’t need to venture outside into the cold afterwards and can hop straight into bed means the body can truly capitalize on the restorative quality of the deep relaxation we offer.

Industrial Services

Metal Spraying

A valuable asset of services, Metal Spraying is a cost effective and technically advanced method of restoring worn components and surfaces to their original specification and tolerance.

Metal Spraying has an incredible bond strength and can be applied very precisely, leaving otherwise redundant components as good as new and extremely hard wearing.

A wide variety of material can be reclaimed this way, including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, low alloy steels, aluminium and brass.

By employing metal spraying technology you are able to expedite repairs to blowers and rotary seals and reinstate machinery that may otherwise be beyond salvage. Thus you can eliminate delays in waiting for major spare parts such as rotors to arrive from the manufacturers

Benefits

  • Minimised expense on replacement parts
  • Worn components restored to their original condition
  • Guaranteed quality
  • Fast, professional service and delivery
  • Reduced machinery downtime

Rotary Seals, Filters, Sifters and Diverter Valves

Wear and tear on rotary seals causes air slippage which can make the seal and the process inefficient. Look for a company that can rebuild and repair rotary seals with specialised coatings on the internal surfaces for maximum longevity.

Ensure they offer the following services.

  • Sifters : Inspected, repaired and set up checked
  • Reverse jet filters : Serviced for Solenoids, Cages, Filter Bags and Timer Boards
  • Diverter valves : Cleaned and checked for wear, seals and solenoids

Road Tanker Equipment

Oil lubricated sliding vane vacuum pumps have been used for decades as a tried and tested means of evacuating and discharging waste liquids from road tankers. They are often worked very hard on dirty applications and although they are generally robust and reliable, from time to time they will require servicing or repair.

Look for a company who has the ability to:

  • Re-machine scored and corrugated body bores and re-dowel the body to accommodate the repositioning of the sideplates
  • Re-plate worn or damaged body bores (where plating is used)
  • Repair bearing journals that have been damaged where bearings and sleeves have worked loose
  • Re-machine scored and damaged sideplates
  • Straighten rotor shafts that have been bent (depending on specific details)

Blowers

Roots type blowers play a vital role in many processes. Applications range from pneumatic conveying of granules and powders to aeration of water and sewage. They are generally very reliable machines but when worked very hard they may breakdown.

Some companies offer new, reconditioned and service exchange machines. Don’t accept an 8 to 16 week lead time for new blowers, look for a company who hold a range of new, reconditioned and service exchange blowers in stock ready for immediate despatch.

The blowers we provide are as follows:

Dresser roots blower                                         Lutos Turbo Blower

HR Blower                                                         Trinado blower

Robuschi blower                                               gm blower

wade blower                                                      holmes blower

godfrey blower                                                  hick hargreaves blower

ingersoll rand blower                                         drum blower

gma blower                                                       gmb blower

sutorbilt blower                                                 Screw blower                                                   

Turbo blower                                                                     Lutos Turbo Blower
