What is included
Scope we regularly arrange
Every job is quoted to your property, so this is the range rather than a fixed package. Tell us what you actually need and the quote reflects only that.
- Communal lighting, emergency lighting and timer faults
- Door entry, intercom and access control repairs
- Lift callout and maintenance contract arrangement
- Communal fire alarm and detection faults
- Quarterly communal and annual flat entrance fire door checks
- Shared drainage, soil stack and refuse chute clearance
- Stairwell, bin store and car park cleaning
- Grounds, bike store and external area maintenance
Why it matters. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require the responsible person for a building with common parts to carry out quarterly checks on communal fire doors and annual checks on flat entrance doors. Broken communal doors, communal fire alarms, communal lighting, faulty lifts and blocked refuse chutes are all treated as emergency repairs in Manchester.
Communal emergencies attended in 2 - 4 hours, planned programmes scheduled around your block calendar.
We introduce you to an independent, vetted specialist for this work. They confirm the scope, price and timing with you in writing, invoice you directly, and carry their own insurance. Our referral fee is paid by them and never added to your price.
