Meet 'Big Brute'!

This is 'Big Brute'; a member of Philips re-enamelling and conversion team! We use him to suck all the old insulation out of Aga range cookers; he is the worlds biggest and most powerful vacuum cleaner.

Cats, small dogs and pets must be removed from the vicinity before use (seriously; it's in the instructions) in case they 'disappear'...

With 20metres of hose we can leave the unit outside and create almost no dust in your kitchen. 'Big Brute' is an expensive bit of kit that requires frequent maintenance but without him our 'work clean' philosophy would not be possible! You are probably sceptical; here is a customer of ours on the mess that we left!

Matthew is from a farming family near Bath and a graduate of King's College London who decided not to follow the 'standard' path into banking or the law. He has been working with these fabulous cookers in some form or another since 2003. Matthew runs Blake and Bull from beautiful Bradford on Avon, near Bath. Alf the golden retriever makes sure the working day finishes at 6pm sharp - dog walk time!
