We offer is more than 25 years of experience in industrial cleaning, a high quality range of machines and equipment from leading manufacturers, and a team that knows the difference between what’s right for your application and what’s just easy or most profitable to sell. Here’s what working with us actually looks like.

If you’ve been looking at compact industrial vacuums for a sensitive environment, the Nilfisk Mini IVAC range is one you’ll have come across. It’s a specialist machine, and it’s worth understanding where it fits before you decide whether it’s the right one for your facility. We take a practical look at where this compact industrial vacuum fits, and where it doesn’t.

Most scrubber dryer breakdowns we see come down to battery problems, and most battery problems come down to a handful of basic mistakes in daily charging and storage. Get the basics right and you’ll typically double the working life of your batteries, cut your running costs and avoid the unplanned downtime that comes when a machine refuses to start mid-shift. This is what we tell our customers when they ask how to look after their batteries.

If you're researching Nilfisk cleaning equipment for your business, who you buy from matters as much as the machine itself. As an approved Nilfisk distributor based in Bedale, North Yorkshire, CFM North East has been supplying, servicing, and supporting Nilfisk equipment for over 25 years. Here's what that means for you, and why it makes a difference compared to buying online or through a general reseller.

A floor sweeper is often one of the hardest working machines in a facility. Regularity of use, dusty environments, and heavy debris loads take their toll. A properly refurbished sweeper can restore that performance without the cost of buying new, provided the refurbishment has been done thoroughly. Here is what that process involves and what you should expect.

A refurbished scrubber dryer can be one of the most economical ways to keep your facility clean, provided the refurbishment has been carried out properly. Here is what genuine refurbishment involves, what to expect from a machine rebuilt to a high standard, and why it often makes more commercial sense than buying new.
