Care & Repair
You are a go-getter. You’re out exposed to the elements all day and you’re not afraid to get your hands – or your clothes – dirty. Which is why you need workwear that is up to the task! And why we use incredibly strong materials in all our work clothing. Nevertheless, if something gets damaged or worn from intensive use, HAVEP’s Care & Repair service is at your disposal!
Repairs
Why throw something away if you can repair it? A pocket that’s come loose, a tear in your trousers or a zip that won’t open or close anymore? Let us fix it for you. All you have to do is fill in the form below and send it together with a photo of the worn or damaged section. We’ll let you know a.s.a.p. whether we can fix it and what it would cost.
Care tips
Your workwear will always last longer if you take good care of it. But that doesn’t have to be complicated or time consuming! Small changes can make a big difference. See below for a number of handy tips that will ensure your HAVEP workwear continues to protect you for as long as possible.
- Always keep zips closed when washing your workwear. To prevent unnecessary damage and ensure your zips last longer.
- Waterproof workwear needs extra care. Always follow the care instructions and avoid aggressive washing cycles.
- To ensure fluorescent clothing keeps you clearly visible for longer, avoid washing it together with dark colours. Dark colours, such as jeans, can sometimes run and make the fluorescent yellow less bright and thus less safe.
