Maintenance is a large expense for the Clients and service recipients. We ensure that where necessary a detailed specification is provided to the contractors who can then quote on the works, we invite Clients, and lessees to recommend contractors (a vetting process is in place to monitor necessary credentials) to ensure you get the best service and costs applicable to the works. As well as those services you can see, we also focus on what you do not, communal electricity, health and safety matters etc, these too are afforded the time to ensure best possible contracts are obtained thus keeping close control over the budget and therefore the costs of your service charges.

Capital Expenditure Plan
