What is reactive maintenance and repairs?

Reactive maintenance is the repair of faults as they are reported: a leak, a failed light, a jammed door or a heating breakdown. You report it once to our helpdesk, we triage it by priority, send the right trade and close the job with photos and notes.

What does our reactive maintenance and repairs service include?

  • Single helpdesk number and email for every fault
  • Priority bands agreed with you at contract start
  • Multi-trade operatives: electrical, plumbing, joinery, locks
  • Make-safe first, permanent repair scheduled
  • Photo-before and photo-after job reports
  • Monthly report of jobs, response times and repeat faults

What are the legal requirements?

Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 an employer must keep the workplace, equipment and systems in efficient working order and good repair, so recording how and when faults were fixed matters.

Frequently asked questions

How fast do you respond?

Response times are agreed per priority when the contract starts, for example emergency make-safe, urgent and routine. We quote them in writing rather than promising a single figure for every site.

Can I use reactive repairs without a contract?

Yes. Ad-hoc call-outs are available, though contract customers get agreed rates and priority bands.

Who decides if a repair needs a quote?

We agree a spend limit with you. Anything above it is quoted and approved before work starts.
