Product Description

Gas detection hire means you do not have to calibrate, maintain, or record equipment you do not regularly use.
Given the regulagtory controls over this kind of kit and the burdensome expense that ownership will bring, it is hardly surprising that our hire services have proved increasingly popular, during the twenty-one years we have offered this service - originally at the request of some of our largest customers.
