Overview
Stansted has a serious maintenance and cargo operation alongside the passenger side, and both generate shrink wrapping — airframe and component protection on one hand, freight and palletised goods on the other.
It is covered on our Essex runs.
Local focus
Aviation leads, with a strong cargo element that is unusual among the airports we cover. Airframes and components wrapped for storage and shipment, engines and nacelles prepared for pooling or export, plus freight and palletised goods sealed for weather and tamper resistance on the cargo side. The airport estate and surrounding business parks add industrial containment work.

Getting to you
Covered on our Essex run with Burnham and Maldon. Hangar work is agreed in writing with your team first.
We cover CM22, CM24 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across London Stansted Airport, the Stansted maintenance hangars, the cargo apron and Bishop’s Stortford. 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 Stansted 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 Stansted 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 Stansted work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Stansted rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice.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 Stansted enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Stansted 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.

Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Stansted is part of our regular coverage and aircraft covers is the work we do most of there. Covered on our Essex run with Burnham and Maldon. Hangar work is agreed in writing with your team first.
There is no Stansted 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. Sealed film gives weather protection and tamper evidence on freight that may stand on the apron or in a shed before it moves, which is why the cargo side uses it as much as the maintenance side.
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 Stansted, but the same crews cover the rest.
