Getting to you in Preston
Preston is home ground. Our unit at Higher Walton Mill sits on the edge of the city, so Walton Summit and Bamber Bridge are minutes away and the estates on the north-east side, Red Scar, Roman Way and Preston East by junction 31a, are a short run along the M6. That matters most at night and at weekends, when a fault on a boiler or burner line has to wait for whoever can get there first.
Industrial areas we cover around Preston
- Walton Summit
- Red Scar Industrial Estate
- Roman Way Industrial Estate
- Preston East and Millennium City Park
- Cuerden and Bamber Bridge
What we see on Preston sites
The city's industrial base is a mix of food production, engineering, distribution sheds and older mill-era buildings that have been converted to manufacturing. That means we see everything from shell boilers to banks of radiant tube heaters in high-bay warehouses and gas-fired ovens on production lines. Plenty of Preston units have had their gas pipework extended several times as machines have been added, so tightness testing and checking interlocks after changes are a big part of the work here.

Why Preston is our home patch
SMR Gas Maintenance Ltd is based at Unit 10 Higher Walton Mill, Cann Bridge Street, Higher Walton, Preston PR5 4DJ. We have worked on industrial and commercial gas plant since 1999, and Preston is the area we know best. From Higher Walton the main Preston employment areas are a short drive, which matters when a line is down at 2am or a warehouse heating system fails on a Saturday morning.
