“Northern Turbine Services provides Milltown Gravel Ltd with support for 3 C&F 20kW turbines based in Kilmarnock, with Milltown Gravel Ltd based in Northern Ireland maximising running time by quickly resolving maintenance issues is completely down to NTS and uptime has been greatly improved since they took over the maintenance back in 2021.”
G Thompson, Kilmarnock
“Our C&F turbine was down on the floor for well over a year with little prospect of our usual contractors re-erecting and getting it up and running again. Northern Turbine Services literally came to our rescue by re-drilling the base, enabling the turbine to be erected and commissioned again. The following 12 months, we had our highest trouble-free production since purchase with the new inverter proving its worth and all previous issues resolved.”
D Newbould, Lancashire
