What we do

Ten things we do properly

LADS provides powered access, thermal drone inspection, dry steam restoration and pure-water cleaning across Essex and beyond — with one crew, on one visit.

Most buildings need all four at some point, usually from four different contractors and four separate mobilisations. Putting the access, the camera, the steam and the water in one van is the entire idea behind LADS.
