Friendly and happy

We received a call before the holidays from a cinema in Oxford to come and check the toilet waste pipes. They wanted to ensure that the pipework was clean and clear before they hit a busy period when a toilet (or many) out of commission would be hardest felt. This is a very sensible way to treat the drainage in a business, as we can schedule planned maintenance around their opening hours in order to minimise any disruption to the working day. Naturally emergency work has to be done as soon as possible and so can be disruptive.
So, we sent out Jonny and Curtis to attend site early in the morning before the cinema opened in order to check the waste pipes. As it happens, there was a significant build up of scale in some of the pipes. Scale build up is a very common factor in waste pipes and even a small amount can cause problems, as it can narrow the diameter of the pipe or it can cause paper to get stuck, leading to a blockage. The cinema were right to have called us, as Jonny and Curtis were able to clear the scale from the pipes using the Portable High Pressure Water Jetter. They ensured the scale was removed and then tested the flow to ensure it was free flowing, which it was. They then cleaned and disinfected their working area.
When they had arrived on site, it was reported to them that there was a blocked toilet which they were asked to clear as well as the initial job. Naturally they were more than happy to unblock this toilet in addition to their descale task.
The customer had this to say about them:
"Very efficient. Friendly and happy to fix other issues!"
Well done guys! And remember, PPMs (planned preventative maintenance) can be scheduled in to suit your work needs and can be booked as a one off or set up as a recurring clean and clear, whether that be annual, bi-annual or even monthly.
