January/February 2014
in the fresh air for once! Working on the roof of Birmingham’s Childrens Hospital.

Right, Also in Birmingham, (but not at the hospital!) this wonderfully ornate ballroom.

August/September 2013

We completed our second town hall of the year with a visit to Rushcliffe Town Council for Dae Mechanical of Nottingham: what a view from the 9 storey roof! Cricket, Notts Forest & County.
A lovely hotel in Swiss Cottage with one hundred rooms,
The BBC regional TV and Radio in Tunbridge Wells for Acorn Mechanical,
a flavour enhancing manufacturer in Tring and
offer of work in Eire!
I never cease to be amazed at the resilience of good quality systems: we’ve just cleaned a 35 year old Vaillant Combi and forty year old Potterton. Why pay thousands for a new one!!
Starting a high security forwarding agent at Heathrow.
Every now and then we recommend other companies and here we’re happy to recommend some colleagues in the States who run a heating and dhlmechanical.ca/ business.

June/July 2013:

We have been working at the head office of Russell & Bromley in south London cleaning a 60 year old system. The system was installed very well indeed and we removed years of debris using our non-acid treatment. What a place to work!! Gems included the 1930’s Morris 8 company car still in its garage! And the top-secret ‘left shoe’ store of R&D products!

Radisson are regulars of late with a visit to clean the specialist heat exchanger on their combined heat and power unit at Manchester
We enjoyed a recent visit to a small but very interesting Caviar dealer in Twickenham.
Welcome to our new clients Space Air who maintain Air-to-Water heat pumps

May 2013:
Commercial:

Went to the new shopping centre in Gatesdead to flush the heating and cooling loads for Bowmer & Kirkland at Phones4U. Had our sandwiches at the Angel of the North!
Two days at Cadbury’s flushing the Glycol lines attached to a brilliant new (and top secret) product of theirs. Chocolate has to be cooled slowly to prevent it going white and it passes over a 180 metre cooling bed, not unlike a radiator.

Domestic:

Worked in good old Wilmslow, Cheshire………500m from Stuart Hall and 500m from Ken Loach!! And right next to the Jodrell Bank Observatory.
It’s amazing how many over 40 year old mini-bore systems there are still working very well, especially after a good and careful flush: we did 7 in May!
