Routine servicing of moveable walls will save money in the long run

2023-05-25

Any organisation using a moveable wall should ensure that it is routinely serviced to protect their investment, and save money in the long run.

In recent years, Style has seen a dramatic increase in the number of service contracts being taken out when a moveable wall is installed, and that is down to a growing appreciation of the importance of routine servicing in protecting the investment.

Katie Mitchell, Style’s southern service and repair manager, explains that an increasing number of companies, hotels, educational establishments, churches, retailers, local authority venues and healthcare premises are seeking to protect their investment in flexible space, with some moveable walls lasting up to 25 years if serviced properly.

“Moveable walls will have a far greater lifespan if they are regularly serviced and maintained,” said Katie, “and a regular check up can minimise the chance of any minor issue escalating into a more expensive repair later down the line.

“As a result, we are seeing year on year increases in the numbers of service contracts being taken out, and in most cases they are signed up for when the wall is initially installed.”

As the UK’s leading moveable, folding and partitioning wall specialist, Style offers nationwide servicing and repairs of moveable walls through its 4 regional offices.

The service caters for anything from sophisticated, fully automatic acoustic systems through to simple folding walls.

As the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Huppe, Skyfold and SWG, Style is the only manufacturer-approved UK repairer for these walls, however Style can also provide servicing, repair and emergency call outs across all types of operable wall – even ones they haven’t installed.

“There are numerous benefits of having a moveable wall serviced,” continues Katie. “These include ensuring its continued smooth operation, compliance with Health and Safety Legislation, and for acoustic moveable walls, routine servicing also ensures its acoustic integrity remains intact.

“During any routine inspection, our technicians will ensure that the seals are fully operational, that the panel seals are correctly locked, that all panels are aligned and that the peripheral seals are making proper contact.

“As a result, any early diagnosis of potential issues can be quickly resolved saving money in the long run, and ensuring years of smooth operation.”
