Preventative Maintenance & Minor Repairs

LADS handles high-level preventative maintenance across Essex — soffits, fascias, brickwork cleaning and minor roof and mortar repairs — from tracked spider lifts.

The expensive repairs almost always start as cheap ones. A slipped tile, an open mortar joint, a fascia that has begun to soften, a hopper that overflows in every downpour — none of them are urgent on the day, and all of them end up in a much larger invoice once water has been getting in for a couple of winters.

Because we already have the access on site, the small jobs can be dealt with while we are up there rather than scheduled, quoted and revisited. That is usually the difference between maintenance and a project.

How maintenance & repairs works, step by step

  1. Condition check

    We look at the roofline, elevations and rainwater goods and tell you what is failing, what is ageing and what genuinely does not need touching yet.

  2. Agree the scope

    You get a clear list of what we would do on the visit, so a maintenance day does not turn into an open-ended bill.

  3. Clean and repair in one visit

    With the lift already positioned, cleaning and minor repairs are carried out together instead of as separate mobilisations.

  4. Plan the next look

    Where a planned programme makes sense, we will suggest a sensible interval based on your building, its aspect and its surroundings.

Who maintenance & repairs is for

  • Property managers running planned preventative maintenance across a portfolio
  • Facilities teams responsible for building fabric as well as plant
  • Landlords keeping properties lettable and presentable between tenancies
  • Homeowners who would rather deal with small things early
  • Commercial sites wanting one contractor for cleaning and minor repairs at height

Why choose LADS for maintenance & repairs

  • The access is already ours, so the marginal cost of fixing something small while we are there is far lower than mobilising for it separately.
  • Thermal imaging is available where the cause of a problem is not visible, so repairs are targeted rather than exploratory.
  • One point of contact for access, cleaning, inspection and minor repair work.
  • Comprehensive RAMS on every job, public liability insured, SafeContractor approved.

Questions

Maintenance & Repairs — asked and answered

What counts as a minor repair?

Work that can be completed safely from the platform on the same visit — pointing and mortar repairs, roofline and fascia work, small roof repairs and rainwater goods. Larger works we will refer honestly.

Can you set up a regular maintenance programme?

Yes. Tell us about the property or the portfolio and we will suggest a sensible interval and scope, then work to it.

Do you charge separately for the access?

The lift and the operator come as part of the job. That is the whole point of the model — one team, one day, one visit.

Can you work out of hours on a commercial site?

Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and regularly work around trading and occupancy patterns.

How do I get a quote?

Call 0330 043 0961 or send the enquiry form with a couple of photographs of the problem and the approach. That is usually enough for us to be specific.

Do you cover my region for maintenance and minor repairs?

Yes. Preventative maintenance and minor repairs are available across Essex from our Wickford base, into Romford and east London, and further afield by arrangement. See every area we cover.
