The torrential rain we’ve had, followed by snow and sub-zero conditions, is hard on buildings. Heavy rain combined with the wind can cause damage to roofing and guttering. Water that has found its way into any cracks followed by sub-zero temperatures will freeze and potentially damage stonework, and water that has frozen in pipes may cause them to burst. Add to this that many commercial buildings are unoccupied, so colder than usual for the time of year. With more likelihood of maintenance issues going unnoticed, you have the potential for a lot of unhappy buildings.
Maintenance throughout the year, but particularly in winter, is essential if you want to keep your building and the people in it happy. Don’t neglect your building – a Darenth Valley Facilities Maintenance (Planned Preventative Maintenance) Agreement will ensure that your building is happy and ready for every season’s challenges and give you the peace of mind that if emergency maintenance is required you can call on us 24/7 and we will resolve it.
