Smashing stuff is fun.

Note, 16th September 2026: The @cylomylo Instagram was closed down in Summer 2025.

Years of running your own business can build up a lot of rage frustration at times.. So, why not take this out on a few deserving walls with a sledgehammer?!

A highlight of our industrial unit renovation, for sure.

Lots of you have been wondering how our project is going.. it's been tough but we are finally getting there. Every day of our 4 week shop closure was spent working on the unit and the business as a whole. This week we have finally been in a position to start moving most of our equipment and stock over and we're trying to create as little downtime as possible in our operations so that you guys shouldn't experience any delays to regular dispatch times. But, the week is still young, so if we are delayed by a day or two on getting orders out - this is why and please be patient with us.

We intend to build multiple rooms and have a full second floor spanning almost the entire area of the unit, but for now we are basically treating the place as one very large room and an office area.

The main challenge with the unit has been the scale of dirt build-up for more than two decades. Yep, you read that right - two decades! It was a garage before we moved in, so imagine the worst and triple it..

This photo was taken whilst the ceiling was being cleaned.. look at that side-by-side difference!

Now that we have more space, we have also invested in two massive autoclaves with a 580L capacity each. So at any single time we can be sterilising way more than a volumetric tonne!! Touchscreening it all the way too.. Badass if you ask us 😀

The engineers are due out this week to help us understand how to use them and to program the onboard computers to suit our sterilisation requirements.

Here is a quick before and after of the place - we're sure you're all dying to see after us going on about it..

Not 100% finished, but what a difference.

We have set up an Instagram profile again to share some more photos of the renovation and the business progression.

A big apology is owed to the folks who have been waiting a while for an email reply.. We completely hold our hands up to this - we never kept on top of them properly and they have piled up to become the Everest of emails. During our shop closure, we had planned on replying to emails every few days but the work involved in the unit has been so much more than we ever anticipated and time just completely runs away from us every single day. Pissed off people are the flavour of the month right now, and rightfully so. But please know that we haven't been sitting on our butts neglecting our business - the majority of our waking life has been dedicated to our new unit, making sure that we are in there as soon as possible to operate from a much more efficient environment.. which means better service for our customers too.

We have been dedicating time to catching up on emails this week and aim to have a reply sent to every one this week. Very, very soon we will be set up in our new work space and our service as a whole will return to the normal 5 star standard that we are known for.

A lot of you have also been getting in touch to offer some words of support during this incredibly stressful time and we cannot thank you enough for that, it genuinely means so much to us.

Keep an eye on the Instagram page for more photo updates and we will also update this News page as often as we can!

Love, always
