Building Maintenance

A Proactive Approach to Building Care

At WestRidge FM our Building Maintenance services focus on keeping your property safe, compliant and operating as it should – every day. We manage and coordinate the essential systems and fabric of your building, from mechanical and electrical assets to general repairs and planned maintenance. Taking a proactive and practical approach, we help reduce disruption, extend the life of your building and ensure issues are dealt with before they become costly problems. Whether you need day-to-day support or a structured maintenance strategy, we provide a dependable service that protects your workplace and gives you confidence in how your building is managed.

Below is a brief look of some of the key Hard FM services we offer.

Electrical

We ensure the safe, compliant and uninterrupted operation of your building’s electrical systems in line with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). Our services include planned preventative maintenance, statutory inspections and a responsive fault service covering lighting, power distribution, emergency systems and critical infrastructure. From routine testing and Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to urgent repairs and upgrade works, we help reduce risk, maintain legal compliance and support business continuity - 24/7.

Fire

Our fire safety services focus on the effective management and maintenance of critical life safety systems within your building. All systems are maintained in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and relevant British Standards, including BS 5839 and BS 5266. We deliver planned maintenance, statutory inspections and responsive support across fire detection and alarm systems, emergency lighting and associated life safety infrastructure. From routine testing and compliance checks to fault rectification and system upgrades, we help reduce risk, maintain legal compliance and protect occupants and assets.

Gas

Gas safety within commercial & residential buildings requires careful control, competent oversight and strict adherence to legislation. Our gas services are delivered by Gas Safe registered engineers and comply fully with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. We support the safe operation of gas pipework, appliances and associated plant through a combination of scheduled servicing, statutory inspections and responsive fault attendance. Whether managing routine compliance checks, resolving defects or overseeing upgrade works, we help minimise risk, maintain legal compliance and ensure gas systems remain safe and reliable.

HVAC

Heating, ventilation, and air‑conditioning systems rely on structured maintenance to deliver safe, efficient, and consistent performance. Planned servicing, filter changes, coil cleaning, and reactive repairs support air‑handling units, chillers, boilers, fan‑coil units, and ventilation plant. A structured maintenance programme improves indoor comfort, reduces breakdowns, and maintains reliable building operation.

Building Fabric

Building fabric refers to the physical elements that form the structure and finish of your building - the parts people see, touch and use every day. This includes doors and ironmongery, walls, floors, ceilings, windows and roof elements, all of which require ongoing care to remain safe, functional and presentable. Proactive fabric maintenance helps prevent gradual wear and damage, reduces the risk of minor issues developing into larger repairs, and ensures your building continues to provide a clean, professional and well-presented environment for staff and visitors alike.

General Maintenance

General maintenance provides day-to-day support across your building by addressing minor repairs and adjustments as they arise. This includes fixtures and fittings such as taps, handles, hinges, shelving, noticeboards and blinds - the small items that contribute to how smoothly a space functions. By dealing with these issues promptly and professionally, we help maintain building standards and prevent everyday wear from impacting the condition or usability of your workplace.

Water Treatment

Effective water treatment is essential to protect building occupants, safeguard systems and maintain water quality. Our water treatment services focus on the safe management and control of water infrastructure, including hot and cold water systems, storage and associated plant. We develop and manage written schemes of control, supported by risk assessments, monitoring and corrective actions, to ensure risks such as Legionella are properly managed. Through ongoing oversight, sampling and remedial support, we help maintain system performance and provide confidence that water systems are being controlled and maintained appropriately.

Plumbing and Drainage

Plumbing and drainage systems support the day-to-day use of a building, from water supply and sanitary facilities to the safe removal of wastewater. Our plumbing and drainage services cover the maintenance and repair of key assets, including hot and cold water pipework, flow and return systems, waste and soil pipework, isolation and service valves, expansion vessels, and water meters and submeters. We respond to issues such as leaks, blockages and system faults as they arise, and provide emergency call-outs and ongoing maintenance for common water assets, including Saniflo units and similar systems, helping to minimise disruption and keep facilities operating smoothly.

Lifting and Access Equipment

Lifting and access equipment supports the safe movement of people, goods and vehicles throughout a building. Our services cover the maintenance and management of mechanical assets such as passenger and goods lifts, roller shutter doors, and dock levellers, ensuring these assets operate reliably and as intended. We provide planned maintenance and responsive support, including fault response and breakdown attendance, to help minimise downtime and disruption. By keeping lifting and access equipment in good working order, we support safe access, smooth operations and the continued use of your facilities.
