What is Property Maintenance?

The dictionary definition of ‘maintenance (n)’ is “the process of preserving a condition or situation” and as the name ‘Property Maintenance’ suggests, this is the process of preserving and upkeeping the condition of a property. For any landlord with either commercial property or multiple tenants, property maintenance is essential to keep your building in a good state of repair and to keep tenants happy. As well as being a huge timesaver, contracting a professional to do the job of property maintenance is also cost-effective. If you decide to go it alone, you may well have to put significant sums of money into purchasing equipment for multiple jobs such as cleaning, plumbing, repair works, decorating etc. Hiring a specialist company means that you are working with professionals who are already equipped to do their job to a high standard.

We know that busy landlords and commercial property owners don’t always have time to put into the day-to-day maintenance that is required to maintain a property professionally. When buildings have heavy foot traffic each day, inevitably there will be facilities that need work. No matter how major or minor an issue is in a building, having a property maintenance company in place will present an enormous advantage for attracting prospective tenants of your building – all problems will be sorted out in a timely, expert manner meaning that your facility is well protected and looked after.

Who should I go to for Property maintenance?

While it is critical to choose a company who are experts in carrying out a wide range of works on a building to a high standard, it is also crucial that you consider the communication and transparency of the Property Maintenance company too. There is more to maintenance than just carrying out work quickly and efficiently. As a landlord, you want to be kept in the know, and you need a company who will keep open lines of communication with yourself, the tenants and any developers and freeholders so that everyone is kept happy when it comes to your property.

Look for a Property Maintenance company who will commit to responding to any emergencies promptly and efficiently, ensuring tenants are safe and the integrity of your site is kept in tact. A company who has strong links with a wide variety of trustworthy contractors will mean that you are never let down when it comes to the repair and upkeep of your property.
