Proven for managed estates
Evidence from a live estate programme
The SPIE Facilities case study records reactive blind maintenance across forty school sites, where the useful outcome was a coordinated response across occupied buildings rather than a single installation.

Room by room
Tell us which rooms need doing
Tell us what's broken before we talk fabrics. It saves a visit.
- 01
What's broken
Tell us the site, the room, the blind and what is wrong with it.
- 02
Whole floors or rooms
Where several need replacing, we do them by building or floor so the visit count stays low.
- 03
Getting in
Tell us about escorts, inductions, pupil or resident access and rooms that must stay open.
- 04
What you get back
We send photos, completed actions, snags and the next recommendation.

Questions for this setting
Before you send the brief
What should an FM team send with a reactive blind ticket?
Give the site, room, existing blind type, visible fault, urgency and any access rule. A photograph and ticket reference help the first response stay focused.
Can one enquiry cover planned and reactive work across an estate?
Yes. Keep urgent repairs, planned replacements and new work in separate groups, then show the sites, priorities and dates that connect them.
What do you need to know about getting into an occupied building?
Tell us about escorts, keys, inductions, resident or pupil access, holiday access, out-of-hours limits and rooms that cannot be taken out of use, and we plan the visit around them.
What can we file for our approved supplier list?
Constructionline Gold, BBSA accredited, public and products liability of £5,000,000 and employers' liability of £10,000,000 with Aviva to 5 February 2027, CSCS carded team with SSSTS supervision, Enhanced DBS across the fitting team, IOSH Managing Safely in the office.
Do you accept purchase orders and framework call offs?
Yes. Add the PO or contract reference under project detail in the enquiry and it follows the job through to invoice. A site specific RAMS comes before each visit, and we attend inductions and pre-start meetings.
