Fitters on your site, on your shifts

Planned maintenance, shift cover and breakdown response for conveyors and plant, anywhere in the UK. Days, nights and weekends, from one fitter on a night shift to a full shutdown crew.

Breakdown? We aim to get a fitter to you the same day, anywhere in the UK. Call 0116 247 8342

Cover that fits how your site runs

Most of our work is keeping other people’s plant running. Tell us your shifts and your problem, and we’ll put the right fitters in front of it.

Shift cover

Day, night and weekend shifts. Cover for holidays, sickness or extra production, from a single shift to an ongoing rota.

Planned maintenance and shutdowns

Scheduled visits and shutdown crews for belt changes, roller and idler replacement, scraper and skirting work, and guarding installs while your plant is down.

Breakdown call-out

Call us when something stops. We’ll get a fitter to you as soon as possible the same day, depending on driving time from our yard in Bruntingthorpe. A call-out charge applies.

Breakdown contracts

For sites that can’t afford to wait. A breakdown contract keeps MES fitters on standby for your site, ready to respond whenever you have a breakdown.
