CEI Services Flood Restoration

As Summer sets in the CEI Services team have been incredibly busy up and down the country on a diverse range of works including grounds maintenance, industrial painting, graffiti removal & the application of anti graffiti coatings (more of which you can read about shortly on our new and improved dedicated graffiti removal page within our website - www.ceiservices.co.uk), relaying broken flagstones and paving, we've even turned our hand to commercial window cleaning since our last post - with the usual fantastic results!

However, sadly, CEI Services have been involved in more flood restoration works. Regular readers will know the lengths CEI went to, to try and help with the floods which caused devastation to our neighbours and local communities. During this experience our team learnt a lot about providing this service in a cost effective, efficient manner. As part of our role, providing facilities management for Evonik Goldschmidt, we were called into action once again. A burst water main had flooded their offices and labs - ruining all the carpet tiles and causing a lot of disruption to the Evonik staff. CEI managed to clear out all contaminated items, decontaminate and dry all affected surfaces within a few days - no mean feat! We then set about laying new carpet tiles throughout the main building, a job which we always enjoy. So, a thousand or 2 carpet tiles later and all was back to normal. Phew!

The last couple of months have really highlighted the wide range of environmental services CEI can, and do, provide. We offer commercial and domestic customers unrivalled levels of customer service and satisfaction. And we don't charge anything for a site survey or quotation so if your considering improvements to your property why not give CEI  a call!!!

A Bright Start To The New Year

The sun has been shining and the cold snowy Winter the CEI Services team endured is now long forgotten (we hope!). We managed to lose only a couple of days due to bad weather this year compared to 10 last January alone so we are very happy with that improvement!

We didn't make a big deal of it but March 14th saw CEI celebrate our 3rd birthday! We have made fantastic progress in a relatively short time and the success of our sub depot in Birmingham is testiment to that. We have long term facilities management contracts in place with industry giants both in the Midlands and Cumbria and we have a fantastic relationship with what is, in our opinion, one of the most innovative and exciting companies working in the world today! But unfortunately we can't say much more about that one!

Our website - www.ceiservices.co.uk is being slowly updated and rejigged to make it more interactive and user friendly. Any thoughts, comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated! We are great at cleaning, maintenance and improvements but only amateurs at web design so please stick with us!

We have recently introduced a new service to our range. "Back to Black" is our revolutionary cost effective way of restoring your tarmac driveways, car parks and pathways back to their former glory. We can clean, repair and then paint on our special coating and bring your dull tarmac surfaces back to life! If you'd like to find out more about this service then please visit our website and drop us an email or fill out our feedback form, we will get back to you asap!

Busy Start to 2011

We can hardly believe it has been almost 2 months since the last CEI update. The whole CEI team enjoyed an uninterupted Xmas and NY break and came back at the start of January feeling thoroughly refreshed, if a little overweight!!!

We are pleased to say that so far in 2011 we have completed jobs as diverse as laying carpet tiles, paint stripping, building cleaning, pot hole repairs, groundworks, erecting 15 foot signs (don't ask!), gritting public pathways, pressure cleaning of public areas in our local town, replacing roof felt, re - laying factory floors, replacing hundreds of light bulbs at a very scary height, and as is sometimes the case - a lot of secret work we can't really detail here!

With the budget cuts now coming into effect and many people starting to feel the pinch, not least local and borough councils, CEI Services have stepped up our message. We believe we can save councils money on their current suppliers, we also believe we can get more done for the money and are willing to prove this given a chance! We also believe we have an innovative new revenue stream for councils which involves them doing absolutely nothing, is completely safe and can quite literally earn them "money for nothing". I have contacted every Cumbria authority to try and engage in discussions regarding our ideas but so far to no avail! Hopefully the idea of free money isn't something they can refuse to listen to for too much longer!

CEI are now providing facilities management services to some fantastic UK industry giants. We are pleased to announce our long term working relationships with:

CEI Services are able to offer our own extensive range of professional cleaning, maintenance and improvement services combined with the skills of our reliable network of local contractors to provide commercial customers with a complete facilities management package. This type of arrangement means your business has a one stop shop for all issues. A reliable company who are happy make all neccessary arrangements for any work you may require. We ensure you receive the best value for money, outstanding customer service and we guarantee all end results!

A quick mention to a website which is proving to be useful to CEI Services and many other business throughout the UK - www.freeindex.co.uk it enables commercial and domestic customers to place a description of the work they require, where they live etc. Local and reputable tradespeople can then respond and the client can pick and choose using company reviews, links to company wesbites etc to help them make the decision. A great idea and I am pleased to say CEI Services have some fantastic reviews on there already!

Finally, to help our valued domestic customers this year we are offering a 20% discount on the last cleaning work we completed for you. So if you had your driveway cleaned and restored 2 years ago for £495, this year that same work is only going to cost you £395. We wish we didn't have to charge you at all, but hopefully our offer will make it that bit easier to consider spending the money on keeping your property looking great!

Please do keep emailing us with comments, feedback, queries etc! Along with our website www.ceiservices.co.uk you can follow CEI Services on Twitter and Facebook!
