Bespoke

Tailor Made

No two sites, usage patterns or budgets are the same. If none of the five fit, we'll build a plan around your equipment, your usage and your environment — including mixed fleets where different machines need different levels of cover.

TotalCare excludes misuse, operator error, environmental damage and liquid ingress. We'll help you pick what genuinely fits, not the biggest one.

Why customers switch to us

"Response Times Are Fantastic"

"Communication is brilliant, they are quick to provide quotes which are easy to understand and ensure they match requirements. Response times are fantastic and I am very confident whenever we sign maintenance agreements for clients across to RedteQ, that they will do what they say they will. They have integrity."

Matthew Pearce — Director, TSA (Transport Security Associates)

"Alan is very helpful, professional and is always available to help troubleshoot in the event of an equipment malfunction."

Kelly Quirk — Security Compliance Officer, Isle of Man (Ronaldsway) Airport

Component-level repair, not board-swapping — in the field, in our workshop, even mid-ocean on cruise ships.

Spare & repair parts

The Part You Need, Without The Runaround

We sell spare parts, repair parts and consumables for security screening systems — X-ray machines, walk-through metal detectors and trace detectors — across the major brands, drawn from our own stores and the serviceable parts we reclaim through our certified strip-down programme. Fitted by our engineers or shipped to yours, and identifiable from nothing more than a photo.

Radiation compliance

Independent Radiation Surveys & System Health Checks

If you operate an X-ray machine in the UK, the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) apply to you — HSE registration, risk assessments, an RPA and proof the machine isn't leaking radiation beyond its design limits. We advise on all of it, and our engineers carry out independent radiation surveys and health checks on X-ray machines of any brand to keep your staff safe and your paperwork audit-ready.
