Building Maintenance. We have the knowledge you can’t do without!
Why should I maintain my building? Simple money!
These are the facts; Maintenances cost very little. Refurbishment can cost tens of thousands. We’ve seen it time and time again - business people who think they don’t need to do any maintenance, that’s not part of the deal. Then the building fabric fails and the costs go up and up. Your building becomes some company’s cash cow, because you’re desperate! Not the best position to be in is it?
Think about it like this; given the climate we live in it is inevitable that our building fabric will be damaged and corrode over time. Prevention is the only cure. Develop a simple inexpensive maintenance programme such as carrying out routine maintenance surveys, cleaning/washing cladding and roofing panels, replacing worn or lost fixing caps, clean gutters and down pipes. All simple and inexpensive! We know you’ll need more information on this service so simply fill in the enquiry form with your details now or you can contact us direct.

End of Lease Dilapidation Costs;
For some reason a lot of business owners fail to understand the terms of their lease. The majority of the commercial leases in this country are under the terms of “full repair and insure”. This means the occupier has to fully repair and maintain the building. Therefore, at the end of the lease the owner of the building will have expected a suitable maintenance programme to have been carried out. If this has not been done, the owner of the building will demand the building be reinstated to a suitable condition - ALL AT THE COST TO THE CURRENT OCCUPIER.
In our experience these costs are in the tens of thousands, in fact at the moment we are working on an end of lease dilapidation claim, which is costing the tenant in the region of £90,000. The building is a medium sized industrial unit, by no means large, but the occupier did nothing to maintain any part of the building fabric, a big loss.

Roof light:
Roof-lights are often discoloured by ultra-violet light over the years. Discoloured roof-lights can lower the level of natural light within the building adding to the cost of artificial light and make for a poor working environment. Through this degradation they are more often than not the source of leaks on the roof, so roof-light maintenance is a key part of your programme. Roof-lights can be cleared and cleaned but if they need replaced a survey must be carried out to establish the profile of the sheeting.
Overall, by maintaining your buildings roofing and cladding you will drastically reduce the need for reactive maintenance in the future, you will prolong the lifetime expectancy of your roofing product, maintain the product warranty and cut down on dilapidation and maintenance costs at the end of the lease period. AG rcs Ltd offer a range of maintenance packages all tailored to suit individual client needs.
