Why should you use OMS outsourcing services to find a responsive building maintenance arrangement for your property?
Securing reliable and site-specific support in keeping your commercial real estate at its best is – in essence – a vital business task.
It is the only way to truly protect your building assets. It could also be a core part of:
- Keeping your properties fully operational
- Avoiding business interruption
- Optimising occupancy and profit
- Preventing tenant dissatisfaction or exiting
- Underpinning productivity within your building
- Making your properties more marketable.
It also delivers important ways to make your business property more valuable in resale terms. The appearance of your commercial property will matter to purchasers and surveys will quickly pick up on building fabric issues that could derail a sale.
Timely intervention when your building needs repairs can also maximise the lifecycle of some of its structures and features.
Also, never underestimate the value of having a building that looks appealing and is well looked after! It can play a major role in making your property marketable and also keeping your tenants happy while underpinning your reputation.
On the other hand, neglecting building maintenance, or even accidental oversights, can create a serious ripple effect. One essential maintenance task left undone can lead to massive restoration and repair bills further down the line.
The same applies to using ad hoc or ineffectual building maintenance services too. Saving money short term can clearly cost you dearly long term.
Investing in outsourcing management of building maintenance services with OMS is, therefore, money well spent. Ask us for a quote.

Where do we work?
Commercial property maintenance and building services.
Services to maintain the fabric of a commercial property can cover a wide range of trades, depending on the type and usage of that building.
In some situations, OMS can find one commercial building maintenance company that can meet the entire needs of a client, providing regular inspections, assessments, repairs and adjustments to protect the integrity of a commercial property. This includes building fabric monitoring and repair services for industrial, public sector, education and office properties.
However, some clients only need to outsource the management of building repairs and improvements on an ad hoc basis. This could be because the building only needs infrequent repair work. Or, you may need a building maintenance service that supplements or expands the skills and capacity of in-house maintenance staff.
OMS can provide commercial building maintenance services that dovetail with both your site’s specific requirements and the resources already available within that building.
We can also manage your building maintenance in conjunction with suppliers and tradespeople you already use.
Whichever level of outsourcing management you need, OMS can ‘build’ the best solution.

One of OMS’s building maintenance management niches is providing ongoing or ad hoc support for construction projects.
We can slot effortlessly into your project team for a new build, extension or major renovation or refurbishment project. You will get the guarantee of skilled local tradespeople – a single construction and maintenance company – that is entirely synergic with your project goals and budget.
Office facilities maintenance outsourcing
Keeping the fabric of your office complex well maintained can present various challenges, especially if it’s multi-tenant business property.
As the commercial building owner or manager, you have obligations with regard to the external structure and communal areas. However, you may also need periodic help with inspections and repairs between tenancies.
Also, as part of your business proposition to tenants, it is often highly beneficial to offer a shared outsourcing service, in terms of maintenance of office building units.
Whatever your business needs and the operational use of your commercial office building, OMS can find local maintenance companies that integrate seamlessly, provide 100% reliable services and keep your building at its best.

OMS can offer our clients grounds maintenance companies that specialise in heritage sites or buildings with complex landscaping, as well as grounds care services for residential housing complexes or housing estates.

Caretaker Hire
Some of our facilities management clients find it advantageous to have someone on-site to oversee daily maintenance – and possibly cleaning – requirements.
As part of our outsourced HR services, OMS would be happy to help you find a caretaker for commercial premises. This appointee could then act as an important go-between, flagging up building maintenance requirements that our trusted tradespeople can then fulfill. We also provide commercial cleaning services.
Handyman services
Not all of our facilities management solutions are for large, complex, or multi-site projects. Some building maintenance requirements can be better met using a local handyman service.
However, knowing who you can trust to do a thorough, professional, and high-quality job can be tricky. This is why so many individuals and companies trust OMS to help find general handyman services they can depend on.

Leaving OMS to manage handyman home services can ensure that all your properties and their tenants are treated with respect and care. While still protecting your maintenance goals and budget.
Professional painting and decorating contractors
Keeping up to date with both internal and external paintwork is a key part of best practices in property maintenance. Some of these tasks protect building features and make them more weatherproof, while you will also need a painting and decorating service to keep your building aesthetics to the right standard.
