We'd rather inspect the door than wait for it to break.

A well-run building should feel looked after every time someone walks through the entrance. Here's the maintenance routine we'd propose for your condominium, with the checks and timing agreed to match its size, access and budget.

Check the common parts and record problems
Separate urgent repairs from suggested upgrades
Give owners visibility on approvals and progress
OUR PROPOSED MANAGEMENT PROCESS

What we'd actually do.

01

Establish the baseline

At onboarding, we'd walk the accessible common areas and list the condition of the entrance, door closer and intercom, stairwell lighting, lift surroundings, bin area, garages and roof access. Photos and unresolved defects go into the building record.

Result: a starting inspection record and a prioritised issue list.

02

Run the agreed routine checks

At agreed visits, we'd check whether shared lights and sensors work as intended, doors latch reliably, routes stay clear and there are obvious signs of damp, water pooling or deterioration. Checks depend on the building contract; specialist equipment is serviced by qualified providers.

Result: repeat issues are spotted, not forgotten.

03

Prepare for heavy rain and seasonal wear

Before wetter periods we'd review reported leaks, accessible drainage points, waterproofing concerns, garage water ingress and roof outlets. We arrange specialist inspection where safe access, electrical work, structure or equipment requires it.

Result: a seasonal worklist with a clear next action.

04

Recommend sensible upgrades

Where worthwhile we'd propose sensor-light improvements, weather-seal repairs, better door closers, access arrangements or improvements to common-area presentation. We'd quote the work and obtain the required approvals before proceeding.

Result: a costed improvement proposal, never an unexpected invoice.

05

Follow every repair through

A common-area fault moves from reported to reviewed, quoted where necessary, approved, scheduled and completed. We keep the status and relevant documents connected to the building so residents aren't individually chasing the contractor.

Result: an issue history with completion evidence where provided.

HOW IT LOOKS IN PRACTICE · ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Example: the entrance door keeps slamming

ReportedThe closer isn't holding and the entrance is noisy.
ActionCheck the fault, request the appropriate repair quote and obtain authorisation.
Follow-upSchedule the repair, confirm operation and update the shared issue record.
TO GET THIS MOVING

What we'd ask you for.

01Building locality, number of floors and access arrangements for common parts.
02The faults residents complain about most often, including any photographs.
03Existing lift, gate, pump, cleaning or maintenance contracts, if available.
WHAT YOU'D RECEIVE

One clear outcome.

A condition baseline, agreed inspection routine, prioritised issue register and approved maintenance plan.

Scope and approvals: An administration fee does not automatically include repairs, inspections by specialists, materials, sensors or roof works. Visit frequency and any service level must be agreed in the proposal. Serious safety or structural concerns require suitably qualified professionals.

Relevant official guidance: Land Registration Agency — administrator responsibilities for common parts. These materials provide general context, not a substitute for building-specific professional advice.
