Why Dorchester sites choose planned fabric maintenance
Commercial property in Dorchester includes community and leisure buildings, GP surgeries and care homes and schools, nurseries and colleges. Each has different hours, plant and statutory duties, so the scope is set after we have walked the site.
Fabric repairs in Dorchester buildings are planned in cycles, so decoration and small repairs do not pile up until lease end.
What building fabric maintenance covers
Building fabric maintenance is the upkeep of the structure and finishes, such as walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and roofs, rather than the plant inside. It covers planned decoration cycles and the small repairs that keep a building looking cared for.
- Ceiling tile and grid replacement
- Planned redecoration cycles
