the solution
delivering perfect spaces on time and on budget, every time
The Eco team got the furniture out of the hotel and into storage and sent any furniture for restoration to the Ghyll House arm of its business. They also brought in expert drying out specialists to assess the situation and draw up a programme of action which Eco carried out.

They used their contacts to immediately involve McGowan Miller chartered surveyors from Dumfries when the insurance company didn’t have anyone who could help nearby.

When there's a problem, Eco find the solution. Within 90 minutes of the initial call the directors were on site with nine of our team. We got the water out of the building as quickly as we could including removing a floor to ceiling window for quick and safe access to skips & containers. We put temporary partitions up so that none of the guests would be affected by the areas we were working in and allowed us to comply with fire safety legislation. Within two hours we had 15 dehumidifiers on site and had removed carpets and skirting to alleviate damp going up the walls.
When it came to the flood restoration at Dumfries we did everything floor to ceiling. The hotel had a very tight 12-week timescale and we came in within budget and on time. All the trades were involved, the joinery work, plastering, tiling, electricals, flooring, plumbing, internal decoration - at one stage we had eight painters all working at the same time.

We have high occupancy rates at the Dumfries hotel and it was very important to us that the rest of the hotel wasn’t affected throughout the restoration work. From the very first day Eco stepped in and, throughout the work, they had a good relationship with everyone and worked in a way which enabled us to carry on trading without any disruption to our guests.
