What our clients say about our products

“No requirement for ladder training”

We chose the CoverMe bags for their ease to use and making the process of bagging off signals much safer by elimination of ladder use. This allowed us to use operatives from the wider highways pool as there was no requirement for ladder training.

“What a great product!”

Having worked on the railway for 15 years, we have only ever used bin bags or shrink-wrap to cover signage, but we have finally found a supplier who can meet our needs on the infrastructure. Made from recycled materials, easy to install, avoids working at height risks/costs, and reusable, what a great product!

“Saves time and money”

CoverMe's ability to decommission and bag-off permanent lights saves time and money and totally eradicates the working at height risk.
