We have offices in Suffolk and Kent and our pump station engineers regularly work across East Anglia, London, Central and Southern England, however we cover most areas of England, Scotland and Wales, please call for more information and a quote
When we receive an enquiry about a pumping station we have not previously serviced, we may require our engineers to carry out an initial inspection and service (chargeable) before we will offer an ongoing service plan.
The initial visit allows us to assess the current condition of the chamber, pipework and pumping equipment and any connected controls or alarms, we will advise of any remedial work that needs to be carried out following our visit.
