24/7 response for urgent breakdowns
Equipped service vehicles

Each enquiry starts with the machine or asset, its location, the reported symptoms, the urgency and any fault information or photographs available. Site access, relevant constraints and the likely first step are discussed before attendance.

For Xwatch-related breakdowns, share the system details, displayed fault information and any photographs available so the initial response can be targeted appropriately. On site, the engineer can assess the relevant mechanical, hydraulic or electrical systems within the agreed scope. Findings, work completed and any recommended follow-up are explained clearly. Availability and response timing are confirmed for each job.

Rail plant support

Specialist field engineering for rail plant, including weekly and monthly PDI work, coordinated around the machine, planned work, access arrangements and site requirements.

Clear reporting and handover

Planning can take account of access windows, site requirements, possession arrangements and machine availability. Relevant defect reports, service history and technical information can be reviewed where they are available.

Weekly and monthly PDI schedules can be agreed around machine availability, access windows and the required inspection record. The scope is agreed around the task and the information provided. Work completed, findings and any next actions are then handed over in practical terms.

LOLER thorough examinations & PUWER inspections

Comprehensive LOLER thorough examinations and PUWER inspections to help ensure your equipment is safe, compliant and ready for work.

Clear reports, findings and recommended actions

To help define the inspection, provide the equipment identification, intended use, previous reports and any known defects that are available. The appropriate scope depends on the equipment and the applicable requirements.

Findings are recorded clearly, including any actions identified. Remedial work is treated as a separate scope unless it has been agreed in advance.

On-site PTS fitter cover

PTS-trained fitters for planned rail shifts and site-based engineering support, with equipped service vehicles for on-site work.

PTS-trained fitters for planned rail shifts and site-based engineering support, with equipped service vehicles for on-site work.

Planned shift and possession cover
On-site maintenance and fault response
Professional reporting and handover

When requesting cover, share the planned dates and shifts, general location, site contact, access requirements, machine list and expected tasks. This helps confirm that the proposed cover matches the work required.

The agreed scope can include planned maintenance or fault support appropriate to the available access and competence required. Cover is subject to availability and the site requirements being confirmed before acceptance.

Machine overhauls & upgrades

Machine overhauls and practical upgrades scoped around equipment condition, operating requirements and the work agreed with the customer.

Machine assessment and agreed work scope
Component, system and full-machine overhauls
Upgrades, testing and clear handover

More details about Machine overhauls & upgrades

Machine overhauls and practical upgrades scoped around equipment condition, operating requirements and the work agreed with the customer.

Machine assessment and agreed work scope
Component, system and full-machine overhauls
Upgrades, testing and clear handover

Overhaul and upgrade work begins with an assessment and an agreed scope. Available records, equipment condition, parts availability, site access and any testing requirements can all inform the plan.

Agreed changes, checks and handover requirements are recorded. If the assessment identifies additional work, it is discussed before the scope changes.

Machine systems

One engineering team across every machine system

Diagnostics, maintenance and repair rarely sit within one system. Our engineers assess the relevant mechanical, hydraulic and electrical elements, agree the work required and record the outcome clearly.

Discuss your machine

Hydraulic systems

Pressure, flow, leakage, control and component-condition checks appropriate to the reported fault.

Electrical & control systems

Power, signal, wiring, sensor and control checks guided by available information and safe access.

Mechanical systems

Assessment of wear, adjustment, damage, alignment, movement and related mechanical condition.

Integrated fault finding & repair

A joined-up assessment of the systems involved, with work completed and recorded in practical terms.
