Regularly we hear of fires in commercial laundry's, usually in a hospital or nursing home. Commonly the laundry is protected by a Type B heat detector however there are simple steps we can take to reduce or eliminate the causes of fire in these areas.

Just in the last month alone, Google News reported there were 423 hits on laundry related fires....

"Service is second to none..."

"I have found the service provided by Maintenance Essentials most professional. When a problem is reported on our fire indicator panel, their attention and level of service is second to none. I have been in the hospital industry for over 29 years, and can honestly say this company would be the one I would recommend."

The complexity and diversity of our systems has meant the Maintenance Essentials has had to be flexible and responsive to our changing needs. Not only in maintaining our systems, but also in advising us on ways to improve and enhance our quality program. All of this is done in a professional and meticulous manner.
