Commercial Building Maintenance

Commercial building maintenance is sensible for ensuring your building operates to its maximum potential. In many cases, it is also a legal requirement to get your buildings regularly checked and maintained. For businesses with premises, it is crucial that they consider every aspect of the safety of their customers as well as their employees.

Legal Requirements For Building Maintenance

The Health and Safety at Work Act outlines the requirements for a business to keep people safe while they are on the premises. The best way to do this is regular maintenance of your facilities.

Finding the right commercial building maintenance contractors can provide you with peace of mind, ensuring that the safety of the property is in the hands of experienced professionals.

Many maintenance contractors will work to a building services maintenance checklist to ensure they check every aspect of the building. This includes:

  • Boiler maintenance. Checking that the boiler is operating safely, and to its maximum potential.
  • Water safety. Regularly checking that the water supply is clean and free from contaminants, and monitoring for waterborne diseases like Legionella.
  • Fire safety. Checking that all fire alarms are functioning correctly, and that escape routes are clear.
  • Electrical safety. Inspecting electrical wiring and appliances and making sure it meets current standards, and that appliances are PAT tested.
  • Lift safety and servicing. Lifts must have emergency alarm systems that are operational at all times, and you need to ensure that you keep your lifting equipment working.
  • CCTV and alarms. Security systems are also crucial for a variety of different commercial premises, and can act as a deterrent against crime. They also need servicing.

Commercial premises are all different and may have their own requirements. Robinsons Facilities Services also offers specialist services including asbestos maintenance, and lightning protection.
