A unique and specialist approach to the Logistics & Distribution industry.
Logistics Facility Maintenance is the critical upkeep of large-scale distribution centres, warehouses, and transport hubs. It focuses on maintaining the building envelope, specifically the roof and siphonic drainage systems, to prevent water ingress that could damage stock, disrupt the supply chain, or halt automated picking machinery.
Keeping the Supply Chain Moving
In the logistics sector, the building is the machine. If water drips onto a sorting belt or an automated picker, the entire operation halts. NSS specialises in the maintenance of “Big Sheds.” We understand that warehouse floors must remain operational.
We utilise rope access and roof-mounted systems to repair skylights and clear gutters without requiring cherry pickers inside the busy loading aisles.
Technical Specifications for Warehousing
-
Siphonic Drainage: We specialise in maintaining high-capacity siphonic roof drainage systems, which are standard on large warehouses but prone to blockage if not jet-vacced regularly.
-
Skylight Safety: We replace and clean yellowed GRP rooflights, improving natural light levels to reduce energy costs and ensuring they remain non-fragile and safe.
-
Rapid Response: We offer 24/7 emergency call-outs for storm damage, ensuring that a breached roof doesn’t compromise bonded stock or hygiene standards.
Cut-Edge Corrosion Cut-Edge Corrosion is the breakdown of the factory-applied coating on metal roof sheets, specifically at the overlap. If ignored, it leads to leaks and sheet failure.
NSS Repair: We treat cut-edge corrosion using specialist sealants, extending the lifespan of your roof by 10-15 years and avoiding the massive capital expenditure of a full roof replacement.
