The structural soundness of your commercial property demands ongoing attention. Our fabric maintenance covers roofing work, window and door servicing, exterior cladding, interior partitions, and general building repairs. Regular inspections and prompt action stop minor problems developing into major structural issues.
Fire Safety Systems
Fire alarm testing, emergency lighting checks, extinguisher maintenance, and sprinkler system servicing constitute critical safety elements. Our accredited Bournemouth technicians ensure all fire protection equipment meets current standards and functions reliably.
Lift and Escalator Maintenance in Bournemouth
For multi-storey commercial buildings, dependable lift services are vital. Our maintenance contracts include routine servicing, safety inspections, and 24/7 emergency response to keep vertical transport systems running safely and efficiently.
Soft FM Services - Creating Better Workplaces
Our soft facilities management services concentrate on cultivating sanitary, inviting, and productive operational environments. Soft FM capabilities we offer include:
Commercial Cleaning Services
Quality cleaning operations sustain sanitation levels and create favourable first contacts for stakeholders and team members. Our cleaning operatives provide routine workspace servicing, intensive cleaning operations, specialised floor maintenance, exterior window washing, and restroom care configured to your demands and schedule.
Reception and Front of House Services
Initial contact experiences hold importance in business contexts. Our experienced receptionists provide warm reception services, guest processing, security clearance, and clerical assistance that positively represents your company.
Grounds Maintenance and Landscaping
Well-kept outdoor territories improve property presentation and contribute to pleasant workplace conditions. Our landscape maintenance encompasses grass management, seasonal horticultural installations, shrub pruning, tree surgery, winter gritting, and parking area servicing.
Waste Management and Recycling
Efficient waste processing lessens ecological damage and secures compliance with disposal requirements. We establish extensive waste and recycling initiatives that achieve environmental standards whilst maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Security Services
Ranging from stationed guards and mobile surveillance to video monitoring and access control platforms, our security measures shield your premises, resources, and people round-the-clock.
The Compliance Benefits of Professional Facilities Management
One of the most compelling reasons to invest in professional facilities management services is the compliance protection they provide. Commercial property owners and occupiers face extensive legal obligations, and non-compliance can result in substantial fines, legal action, business interruption, and reputational damage.
Health and Safety Compliance
Facilities management companies maintain compliance with Health and Safety at Work Act requirements, ensuring regular risk assessments, safety audits, and staff training. Professional FM providers stay current with changing legislation, implementing necessary updates to policies and procedures without requiring input from your busy management team.
Statutory Testing and Inspections
Commercial properties require numerous statutory inspections and tests throughout the year. These include:
Fire risk assessments and fire safety equipment testing
Legionella risk assessments and water hygiene testing
Electrical installation condition reports (EICR) every five years
Portable appliance testing (PAT)
Gas safety inspections and boiler servicing
Asbestos management surveys and monitoring
Lift and lifting equipment examinations (LOLER)
Emergency lighting and fire alarm testing
Missing any of these inspections can result in serious consequences. Professional facilities management providers maintain comprehensive compliance calendars, scheduling all required tests automatically and maintaining detailed records that demonstrate due diligence during inspections or incidents.
Energy Performance and Environmental Regulations
With increasing focus on environmental sustainability, commercial properties must comply with Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) requirements, and emissions reporting obligations. Experienced FM providers help improve energy performance through efficient building management, reducing both environmental impact and operational costs while maintaining compliance.
Building Regulations and Planning Requirements
Any alterations, extensions, or changes to building use require compliance with building regulations and planning permissions. Facilities management companies coordinate necessary applications, engage qualified contractors, and ensure all work meets regulatory standards.
Insurance Requirements
Most commercial insurance policies require evidence of regular maintenance, safety testing, and compliance activities. Professional facilities management provides the documented proof insurers require, helping avoid policy invalidation and ensuring smooth claims processes when needed.
Duty Holder Responsibilities
Under various regulations, building owners and managers hold specific "duty holder" responsibilities for safety management. Facilities management providers can assume many of these responsibilities, providing properly qualified persons to manage compliance activities and reducing personal liability for business owners and directors.
