Andrews assists Sussex WWII air raid shelter

Posted Date 23/04/2018

Andrews Dehumidification Hire was recently contacted with an unusual request to assist the drying of a WWII air raid shelter in Brighton, Sussex, which had previously been concealed beneath the tarmac of a school playground!

Incredibly, workers at Downs Junior School rediscovered a once forgotten air raid bunker situated three metres underground. Since then, volunteers have come together to restore the shelter which experts believe would have originally been used to protect as many as 300 children from Luftwaffe planes. The area has since been converted into a local museum which offers an authentic insight into life during the Blitz.

Posted Date 03/04/2018

Our new West Sussex hire depot is now officially open for business and ready to serve customers across the county.

For many years, Andrews Sykes have been developing relationships with partners based in West Sussex to such an extent that we feel now is the right time to open a dedicated branch to serve the area. This strategically chosen depot will give us a much greater localised presence and allow us to quickly reach customers across Gatwick, Burgess Hill, Crawley, Lewes, Brighton, Eastbourne, Worthing, the South Downs and many other towns.

Sussex-based biological treatment plant seek ventilation hire

Posted Date 22/03/2018

A waste collection company in West Sussex recently contacted Andrews Ventilation Hire in search of emergency ventilation fans to improve working conditions for staff. Our client had a problem with potentially toxic fumes gathering on parts of the site, and this was being caused by the sheer volume of public waste being processed nearby.

The company in question took immediate action to reduce the risk of plant workers complaining about the conditions. If something wasn’t done quickly, it is likely that employees could have suffered headaches and other medical symptoms as a result of the odours produced.

Andrews Sykes to open West Sussex hire depot

Posted Date 06/03/2018

It is with great delight that we announce the opening of a new hire depot in West Sussex, which will be ready for business straight after Easter.

Andrews Sykes have enjoyed significant volumes of commercial activity in West Sussex and opening a new branch within the region itself will enable us to offer an even better service to our customers based there. Having a more localised presence will be of great benefit to clients located nearby and dramatically reduce response times on emergency callouts.
