Statutory and regulatory testing and servicing

To meet required standards and legislation, certain levels of maintenance must be carried out on a system or asset. Some are strictly regulated and may need to be done at very specific intervals, where others must satisfy certain regulations for lifting equipment like beds and hoists (LOLER) and electronic, mechanical equipment that would require a certain level of service (PUWER)

You don’t need to worry which is which, we’ll do that for you – we can offer a full range of statutory and regulatory maintenance, providing a single service that ensures your building is always safe and legal.

Asbestos management and testing

Asbestos can pose a significant health risk if it is not managed properly, becomes damaged, or degraded. We have specialists who can identify what kind of asbestos is within a building, so they can provide and maintain a register and management plan, so you can keep on top of your strategy.

We can offer asbestos management services including producing asbestos registers, management plans, completing inspections and delivering both removal and containment works.

Legionella control and water hygiene

It is important to control legionella bacteria in all buildings because if contaminated, legionnaires’ disease can be fatal. We’ll work with you to satisfy health and safety executive regulations to control legionella bacteria in evaporative cooling systems, hot and cold-water systems, as well as other risk systems that may produce aerosols.

As a building manager, you need to ensure you have the suitable and sufficient risk assessments in place and appoint a suitable competent responsible person. Our in-house experts are there to guide and support you to ensure you operate a safe water system within your building. Whatever your sector.

BAFE registered fire safety and management

Fire safety is a hot topic, and so buildings need to have a clear fire strategy in place. We offer crucial services and inspections which include passive fire inspections, fire door inspections, fire damper servicing, fire suppression and sprinkler systems maintenance.

Fire alarms also require frequent testing to ensure the full system is operating effectively. It’s important to note that fire alarms are often interconnected with automatic doors, dampers, and lifts so it’s crucial they’re tested regularly.

We also provide fire risk assessments, compartmentation assessments and assist with developing your overall fire strategy.

Facilities management

Electrical safety and management

Our fully qualified, NICEIC registered electrical team can do everything from PAT to emergency light testing, and full periodic electrical installation testing.

Electrical installations, fixed, and portable appliances all need to be inspected and tested at a set frequency which is all dependent on your risk assessment.

F-Gas register and record keeping

Your F-Gas register keeps a record of all your air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, the gases held, and all intrusive works. This is because they contain gases that can be harmful to the environment. The servicing of these systems and appliances includes regulatory requirements and is dependent on the risk assessment of your specific site – it’s very important these are managed correctly and safely.
