Factoring
Our factoring service covers it all, from simple repairs such as changing light bulbs to more complicated matters such as roof repair work.
Our service scope generally depends on the type of development and its facilities. Typically with a factored development, the following services are routinely provided:
- Regular stairwell cleaning on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis depending upon requirements. This may also include window cleaning and bin/bike store cleaning.
- Regular grounds maintenance on fortnightly basis in the summer months and monthly in the winter months. The specification for the maintenance would depend upon the grounds but typically includes grass cutting, weeding of flower beds, trimming of bushes/hedges and litter collection throughout the site.
- General repairs as required – for example faulty stairwell lights, faulty door entry system or faulty communal TV/satellite system etc.
- Building repairs as required – for example roof works, gutter cleaning or repairs, repointing walls etc.
- Periodic emergency equipment testing in line with legislation and manufacturer guidelines. This would include fire/smoke alarm systems, emergency lighting, dry risers, smoke ventilation systems etc.
- Mechanical equipment maintenance such as lifts, car park gates, water pumps etc. as well as undertaking bi-annual engineering inspections to ensure the equipment is operating correctly and safely.
- Routine site inspections including safety assessments and proactive maintenance planning.
