News Emergency Temporary Heating for Superstore
November 14 2008
After receiving a call at 12.30pm on a Friday afternoon from a contractor enquiring about emergency heating Watkins Hires Business Development Manager Jason Campbell arrived on site less than 1 hour later at a large superstore who’s heating system had broken down during refurbishment work, and if no solution could be found to heat the store that day then it would have to close costing the store significant amounts of lost income.
Jason was able to complete a free site survey and recommend our MH170 Mobile heater and 3000 litre fuel tank be used, a quotation was prepared and accepted whilst on site and people set to work to get the equipment to site and installed that evening.

Installation was not straight forward as the heat had to be ducted up the side of the store and along the roof of the building into the stores existing Air Handling unit heating system a total of approx 80 meters, this was done using Watkins Heater Hire high temperature ducting in 6 meter lengths which were coupled together then pulled up the side of the building and laid across the roof where temporary lighting had to be installed as it was well into the evening and was getting dark.
Watkins Hire were able to get heat into the store that evening only 7 hours after getting the first telephone call, the store manager said “I am amazed with the speed that this was achieved and that it was all project managed and caused no additional disruption to the store, Watkins hire were also able to provide the fuel and monitor the level in the tank and replenish supply as and when required which was another headache taken care of, I would not hesitate to use or recommend Watkins Hire in the future”.
Jason said “It was a good team effort with everyone working together and at no point did I doubt that we would get it done, it is a good example of how Watkins Hire can turn things around when time is critical”
