  • What is commercial property maintenance?

    Commercial property maintenance involves the upkeep, repair, and management of buildings and outdoor areas used for business purposes. This includes services like painting, landscaping, electrical work, plumbing, cleaning, and general repairs to ensure facilities remain safe, functional, and visually appealing for tenants, clients, and employees.

  • What are the three main types of maintenance requirements for managed properties?

    The three main types are:

    1. Preventive maintenance – regular checks to avoid breakdowns.

    2. Corrective maintenance – fixing issues after they occur.

    3. Predictive maintenance – using data and monitoring tools to anticipate and address problems before failure.

  • What is the difference between commercial and residential maintenance?

    Commercial maintenance covers larger-scale buildings like offices, schools, or retail spaces and often involves stricter regulations and specialised services. Residential maintenance focuses on homes and apartments, generally involving simpler tasks. Commercial work typically requires more advanced equipment, regular servicing schedules, and compliance with industry standards.
