Arboles UK – The Winter Refit Season
Laboratory Refits!!
Well folks, it doesn’t seem like ten minutes ago when us at Arboles UK were talking to you about the summer laboratory refit season! The summer was busy and the weather wasn’t too shabby either! Since then the sun is now a bit lower in the sky and the clocks have gone back (and dare I say it – Christmas is around the corner!), but what that means for us is that the winter laboratory refit season is coming up. When the schools and colleges close you get to work building and repairing laboratories!

All our products carry appropriate approvals (WRAS, BSI Britsh Gas, ANSI etc) and a hefty warranty. We’ve said it before, but these certifications and warranty gives you confidence that what you’re installing is the business!
Over the past 20+ years we’ve been doing this we’ve seen trends come and go, but with a few firm favourites being permanent in the laboratory fit out! world!
