Responsive Oil Spill Cleaning in Nottingham City Centre for Nottingham University

Offering safe, responsive oil spill cleaning services.  With over nine years of industry experience, Brooklands Service Group is a trusted specialist in oil spill cleaning, street and paving cleaning to restore hard surfaces. Our qualified team combines technical expertise with rapid response capabilities to manage hazardous incidents safely and efficiently.

In response to an urgent oil spillage in Nottingham city centre, Brooklands was commissioned by Nottingham University to deliver a rapid, comprehensive spill cleaning operation. The incident posed a significant safety risk to pedestrians and disrupted the aesthetic and hygiene standards expected in a busy urban environment. Brooklands responded the same day, deploying specialist equipment and personnel to mitigate hazards and restore public safety.

Immediate Response

– Brooklands mobilised a road sweeper within hours of the university’s request to address leaking oil across key pedestrian and traffic zones.

– The team coordinated with city traffic schedules to operate during off-peak hours—early mornings, late nights, and weekends—to minimise disruption and ensure commuter safety.

Cleaning Process

The multi-phase cleaning strategy included:
– Steam Cleaning of Pavements: High-pressure steam was used to lift oil residues and embedded grime from porous surfaces.
– Chemical Treatment: Environmentally safe degreasers and neutralising agents were applied to eliminate slip hazards and sanitise affected areas.
– Chewing Gum Removal: As part of the surface restoration, Brooklands removed embedded chewing gum from walkways, enhancing visual cleanliness and hygiene.

Added Value Services

Demonstrating exceptional client care, Brooklands extended its services beyond the initial scope:

– Graffiti Removal: Unsolicited graffiti was professionally removed from nearby walls and public fixtures.
– Window Sill Cleaning: Adjacent building facades and window sills were cleaned to elevate the overall appearance of the site.

Waste Management & Safety

– At the end of each shift, all waste—oil residues, chemical runoff, and debris—was securely removed from site.
– Disposal protocols ensured that no materials were left accessible to unauthorised individuals, maintaining public safety and compliance with environmental regulations.

Outcome
Brooklands’ swift and strategic intervention:
– Restored pedestrian safety in high-traffic zones.
– Enhanced the urban environment surrounding Nottingham University.
– Demonstrated a commitment to excellence, flexibility, and community care.
