Overview
Luton combines a busy airport with a substantial industrial base, so the work splits between aviation and machinery protection more evenly than at Farnborough or Biggin Hill.
The business aviation side of the airport is the main aviation driver.
Local focus
Aviation and industrial in roughly equal measure. On the airport, business jets going into storage and components prepared for shipment, all on non-contact cradles. Off it, the Luton and Dunstable industrial estates generate plant protection, machinery wrapped for relocation and warehouse partitioning. Both benefit from the same thing: a sealed envelope with ventilation designed for how long the asset is standing.

Getting to you
On our north London and Home Counties run with Watford. Survey inside 48 hours.
We cover LU1 to LU4 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across London Luton Airport, the business aviation hangars, the Luton industrial estates and Dunstable. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Luton job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.

Illustrative figures. Your Luton survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Luton work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Luton rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Luton enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Luton job needs a site visit to get moving. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what is involved — including when shrink wrap is not the right call.

Yes. Luton is part of our regular coverage and aircraft covers is the work we do most of there. On our north London and Home Counties run with Watford. Survey inside 48 hours.
There is no Luton rate, because the price follows the job rather than the postcode. Size, framing, film grade and access drive it, and travel is set out separately so you can see exactly what you are paying. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will give you a realistic figure the same working day.
Yes, and they are often the same visit. Aircraft and component work on the airport, machinery and warehouse containment on the Luton and Dunstable estates.
Yes. Every quote is fixed after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. We do not use provisional sums and we do not add a "subject to access" line.
All five sectors — marine, scaffolding and temporary roofs, industrial, transportation and aviation. Aviation shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Luton, but the same crews cover the rest.
Yes. We are fully insured and risk assessments and method statements are supplied as standard on every commercial job, along with film certification at handover.
