When ordering a cylinder if you would simply like to replace one that is empty you will have to use two separate lines on your AGRESSO order form.

The first will contain the product code of the cylinder you would like to order and the second will contain the code for the same cylinder except under the product description it will include returns.

For example:

• line 1: Use EB01 for ordering a new compressed Oxygen cylinder
• line 2: Use EB02 to have the empty one taken away.

Alternatively, if you would like to add a new cylinder to your area without requesting a return, an additional rental fee would be applied to your current monthly cylinder rental charge.

Please enter the sub-project code for the rental of a new cylinder into the product text box when ordering a new cylinder. In returning a cylinder that is no longer needed, complete the order form using the return cylinder code only. This will be deducted from your rental holding at the end of the month.

Our dry ice is sold in 10kg bags which are delivered every Friday.

We would be grateful if orders for multiple bags could be placed in advance so we can maintain our stock levels.

If a small amount of dry ice is required we can supply this free of charge providing we have part bags remaining.

When bags are ready for collection please ensure bags are tightly sealed with the tags provided and are kept in a secure location to avoid potential data theft and trip/fire hazards.

Please ensure you separate paper and non-paper confidential waste into separate bags.

When an order for IDA has been placed one of our team will label a bottle for you and is then kept in the solvent store.

We will contact you when it is ready for your use.

Boardroom layouts

  Boardroom style: We combine separate tables to form this boardroom style. This can be made up to support around 35 people and is great for any type of meeting.

 Theatre style: For theatre style we setup rows of chairs with walkways to divide the room. This setup can accommodate 40 chairs as shown with the option of adding additional chairs of a different style if required. This setup is ideal for presentations. 

 Cabaret style: For cabaret style we use individual tables around the room which are then surrounded by chairs. This style can support up to 40 people with the option of adding additional chairs if required. This setup is great for functions and events or presentations. 

 Horseshoe style: For horseshoe style we use boardroom tables in a horseshoe shape, surrounded by chairs and can comfortably accommodate 25 people. This setup is ideal for board meetings.

Our handyman can be requested to tackle a wide range of jobs which include non-chargeable jobs such as furniture repairs, replacing keys for cabinets and mending curtains and blinds, etc.
