SFHA Property Maintenance Conference
Crieff Hydro 6-7 October 2009
Mila Maintenance, Stand 40

At this years SFHA Property Maintenance Conference, at Crieff Hydro, Mila Window and Door Maintenance is demonstrated the benefits which it can offer social housing providers through its highly skilled and specialised repair, refurbishment and maintenance programmes.
 

In the public sector, the debate has shifted somewhat over recent years from timber vs PVC-U to repair vs replacement.  This is partly in response to environmental pressures and a legitimate desire amongst clients to preserve resources and reduce waste; and also a result of the success of companies like Mila Maintenance in persuading local authorities and social housing providers that a planned window and door maintenance programme is the most appropriate solution for ensuring the health, safety and well being of their users and tenants.

Mila Maintenance celebrates its 21st anniversary this month.  In 1988, it set about persuading clients in the public sector that window and door repair and maintenance was a greener and more sustainable solution than replacement and its ongoing success is testament to the power of that message.

Mila Maintenance Become a Lorient Approved Installer Mila Maintenance, has secured coveted ‘Approved Installer’ status from Lorient Polyproducts including acoustic, smoke and fire containment systems in door assemblies.

While the window industry continues to wrestle with the conflicting arguments about which material is the greenest, most recyclable or offers the lowest lifetime energy costs, one section of the market is quietly but very positively offering what is probably the most environmentally friendly solution of all.

Mila Window & Door Maintenance is set to benefit from new funding arrangements put in place by its parent company Heywood Williams Group PLC.
