Hospitality venues: Book your moveable wall service ready for the busy Christmas period

2022-10-25

Christmas parties are key to many businesses in the hospitality sector, which is why Style is advising hotels, restaurants and other event venues with moveable walls to have them serviced in readiness for the busy festive season.

Katie Mitchell, service and repair manager at Style south, says, “After the recent years of struggling with COVID, lockdowns and restrictions on socialising, this Christmas party season is set to be very busy indeed.

“Many venues maximise their revenue by using moveable walls to divide their event space into two or more rooms, enabling them to run multiple events concurrently, or open up larger rooms for bigger functions.

“If a moveable wall fails to move into position, or a member of staff struggles to open it, this can become extremely stressful – particularly if you have booked out one room for two separate parties and need the wall in place.

“For this reason, we’d recommend that, if you haven’t had your moveable or folding wall serviced recently, now is a good time to do so.”

According to Katie, just like cars moveable walls need routine servicing to ensure their long lasting, smooth operation.

“In the same way that a car needs routine servicing to give years of trouble-free motoring, a moveable wall needs a regular inspection and service to minimise potential downtime, preserve its acoustic integrity, ensure continued smooth operation and help comply with health and safety regulations,” continues Katie.

“We have a national service and aftercare team, operating from our 4 regional offices which means there are Style technicians local to you wherever you are in the UK.

“Our service contracts include regular maintenance visits, during which our engineers will inspect, clean, lubricate and adjust all mechanisms and components in accordance with best practice. We can also replace any damaged or worn parts to avoid any recurring problems turning into serious issues.

“Over and above our service contracts, we also offer an emergency repair and breakdown service which includes repairing partitioning walls that Style didn’t originally install.”
