‘In awarding the contract extension, Northumbrian Water has recognised the strength of our 24/7 emergency call out offer. Not only can we install fittings from our Supa™ ranges, but we are also able to offer bespoke manufactured emergency fittings at sizes up to DN1600.

Although it is not covered under the standard supply Northumbrian Water contract, AVK are able to offer an emergency service which includes valves and actuators, repair and maintenance.
