During the winter months, flowers and plants struggle to retain their stored heat when night falls and the sun disappears. As the temperature drops, moisture in the air condenses before freezing on unprotected surfaces. When this happens, plants become immediately susceptible to perishing and wilting, rendering them valueless to florists and similar businesses.

So when a flower outlet in Twickenham began to experience this very issue, they contacted Andrews Heat for Hire in search of a practical solution. A brief consultation with a member of our contact centre allowed us devise a suitable heating system, and this was delivered on the same day of enquiry.
