Building Maintenance

Whilst others react to maintenance problems, we work to prevent them.

At Grove Partners, we believe that effective management starts with foresight. Rather than waiting for systems to fail, we implement a bespoke Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) schedule for every development we manage. Upon appointment, we conduct a full audit of your site to identify its unique requirements and create a roadmap for long-term care.

Drainage

While drainage systems are often "out of sight, out of mind," regular inspections play a vital role in safeguarding any well-managed development. We recommend periodic professional surveys using specialist camera technology to identify hidden vulnerabilities—such as cracks or misalignments—before they escalate into emergency repairs.

Over time, underground pipes are subjected to shifting soil, root intrusion, and the gradual accumulation of debris. In developments with a mix of residential and commercial units—particularly those housing restaurants—the buildup of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) poses a greater risk to the system. Because every site is different, the frequency of our inspections is always dependent on your development’s unique situation.

Internals

Together the roof and masonry are a development’s first line of defense against the elements, yet they are often the most neglected components until there is an issue. Scheduling a comprehensive professional inspection every few years is essential for identifying the subtle signs of weathering—such as slipped tiles, perished pointing, or failing leadwork—that are not visible from ground level. Early detection allows for minor "patch and repair" work, preventing water ingress that can rot timber rafters, damage internal ceilings and general water ingress.

We can arrange a professional survey which uses the latest technology, including drones for taller buildings, to help key these potential issues from becoming actual problems.
