Is your commercial property ready for winter?
Many of the most costly winter repairs start with small jobs left undone in November, such as a blocked gutter, an unlagged pipe or a boiler that hasn’t been serviced.
We’ve put together a free Commercial Property Winter Maintenance Checklist covering the six areas facilities managers, landlords and property teams should check before the cold sets in:
1️⃣ Roof, gutters and drainage
2️⃣ Heating systems
3️⃣ Pipework and frost protection
4️⃣ Fire safety, emergency lighting and doors
5️⃣ Access, lighting and slip risks
6️⃣ Empty and out-of-hours areas
One tip that’s easy to miss: keep background heating at 4°C or above in empty and out-of-hours areas. It’s one of the simplest ways to reduce the risk of frozen and burst pipes over the winter.
National Maintenance Services has delivered planned, reactive and 24/7 emergency property maintenance for commercial, education, retail and housing clients across the UK since 2009. We’re Gas Safe registered (922218).
