WHAT’S NEW?
ROBERT SCOTT & SONS LTD OVERCOME FLOOD
DAMAGE The past couple of years have seen many homes and businesses devastated by the effects of flooding and Robert Scott & Sons Limited have been busy helping with products and advice on how to cope in aftermath of flooding.
Advice and products that have now, thanks to the arrival of Storm Angus in November 2016, been put to the test in their own back yard.
On the evening of November 21st 2016, when the huge amount of water created by the storm blocked a culvert underneath the road in the company’s Heybottom Mill the entire river flow diverted itself through the mill culminating in over 2ft of water. As well as wiping out the compressors, some computers and covering the whole floor area with thick mud, over 120 pallets laden with products were also damaged.
The flooding caused major disruption to the site on the following Tuesday and Wednesday, but thanks to a well organised clean-up operation, Scotts were back up and running by the end of the week - as Sales and Marketing Director, Alastair Scott explained, “It obviously helps that we have plenty of cleaning products immediately to hand and our “disaster planning policy” includes multi-site stocking of all our product range so there was no negative impact on our customers”.
“The product that really stood out as an effective and quick way to clear

the floor area of mud was our range of Heavy Duty Plastic and Floor Squeegees. These are promoted as the professionals number one choice for fast and effective squeegee action, to wipe and dry hard surface floor areas. Made from heavy duty reinforced plastic with twin foam rubber blades the clean up team voted these as the best way to remove residual mud from the floor and then to dry the concrete once the mud had been removed with pumps, several of our heavy duty plastic buckets and our range of floor scrapers!”
“In general the team followed the clean up procedures to the letter, ensuring the electricity had been
secured before work commenced and wearing protective clothing at all times - waterproof jackets, trousers, gloves and face masks especially when getting rid of the initial volume of water and whilst tackling the mud- laden floor. After the initial clean all surfaces affected by the floodwater were disinfected and cleaned using our natural wood yard and hand brushes and a multitude of cloths, scrubbers and sponges”.
All the above mentioned products are available from Robert Scott’s range of over 2000 janitorial and related products.
