Hard FM questions

Ask us a questionWhat does Hard FM cover?
Hard FM is the upkeep of a building’s physical fabric and the systems inside it: electrical, water, lighting, fire alarms, heating and cooling, and structural maintenance.
How often should maintenance happen?
It depends on the system and how heavily it is used. Most preventive inspections run monthly or quarterly, and some systems need more frequent visits. Your schedule sets this asset by asset.
Which regulations do you work to?
We work to health and safety, building, fire and electrical regulations, and to local and national environmental standards.
Do you tailor the service to our sector?
Yes. We assess your operational and compliance needs first and build the programme around them.
