Office maintenance

Office maintenance includes all ongoing work necessary to keep things ticking along smoothly, safely, and effectively within your workspace, without you even noticing that changes are being made. This guide will explain what’s involved, how we support our clients, and what we could do for you.

Maintaining the workplaces that Peldon Rose design, fit out and deliver for our clients is our commitment to ensuring that a space continues to operate exceptionally, from the day you move in, and every day after.

A guide to office maintenance

Designing and delivering a bespoke workplace for your clients and colleagues requires a significant level of investment that our dedicated Maintenance team strive to protect on your behalf. Whether you’ve inhabited your workplace for one or one hundred days, office maintenance support ensures that the quality of your working environment doesn’t deteriorate over time.

Depending on the size and scale of work required, maintenance can be carried out on a daily, weekly, monthly basis or somewhere in between. Irrespective of frequency, it’s important to work closely with your office manager or facilities team to ensure all parties aligned, that expectations are clear and relevant access is granted safely. In partnership, office maintenance support should be on hand as an extension of your team.

What is office maintenance?

Office maintenance involves a range of tasks, big or small, to support the operation of your workplace. We support our clients with small tasks, from changing a light bulb, to larger scale works. This could include remedial electrical rewiring, annual emergency light tests or plumbing services, to name a few.

Office maintenance work can be scheduled around the clock. Our team of Mobile Engineers, for example, are on hand to help clients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This could take the form of preventative work scheduled out of hours to reduce disruption to your business, or to address emergency repairs like leaks or electrical outages. Here are some examples of the maintenance works that we can provide:

Waste management – We can organise your office waste removal and provide information about how, and where, it is disposed.
Electrical maintenance – This can include anything from routine checks to extensive repairs or rewiring of electrical fittings, fixtures, or installations.
Fire and safety – Here, we’ll ensure that all alarms and fire prevention tools are operating properly and are installed correctly.
Mechanical maintenance – We’ll ensure the ‘engine room’ of your workplace is running like clockwork, to maintain a comfortable working environment for your clients and colleagues.
Air conditioning and air quality – We’ll deliver effective air quality management, which is integral for maintaining employee health and business performance. Find out why.
Water hygiene maintenance – We’ll run regular checks to give you peace of mind that your water is clean..
Small works and repairs – No task is too small to help with. Small touch-ups, optimisations or repairs can be dealt with by our team of Mobile Engineers.

Why is office maintenance vital for your business?

Completing your office relocation or office refurbishment is a cause for celebration, but the work doesn’t stop there. Once you’ve moved into your new space, it’s crucial to protect the investment you’ve made into your property and your people. With an office maintenance contract in place, you can be sure that:

The quality of your workplace doesn’t deteriorate. Retouches and refreshments are made before you know you need them.
The working environment remains consistent. Small changes to air temperature, water pressure and light levels impact our experiences in a space, and maintenance work keeps the atmosphere comfortable and operating as expected.
Whatever you need, you can turn to the same person. Investing in office maintenance support means that as soon as work is required, you can rely on a single point of contact to schedule the works, coordinate execution and guarantee the quality of the delivery.
Emergency support. When things go wrong, you know who to turn to. You can rely on 24/7 support, with assurance that costs will be fair and appropriate.
