Fordel Furss - Community & Public Sector Facility – Facilities Management Case Study

 

This modern community facility required a planned external maintenance programme to preserve the appearance of the property, protect the building fabric, and ensure a safe, welcoming environment for staff, visitors, and service users.ing and surrounding external areas.

Our team was appointed to deliver a range of specialist services including soft washing, pressure washing, biocide treatment, grounds maintenance, and planned preventative maintenance (PPM).

Soft Washing

The building’s exterior surfaces were professionally soft washed to remove algae, moss, lichen, and environmental staining. Using specialist low-pressure cleaning methods, we restored the appearance of the property while protecting render, cladding, and other external finishes from unnecessary damage.

Pressure Washing

External walkways, entrance areas, paved surfaces, and surrounding hardstanding areas were thoroughly pressure washed to remove dirt, grime, moss, and slip hazards. The works improved both safety and presentation, helping to create a cleaner and more welcoming environment for visitors.

Biocide Treatment

Following the cleaning process, a professional-grade biocide treatment was applied to affected surfaces to inhibit the regrowth of organic matter. This helps extend the results of the cleaning works while reducing future maintenance requirements and protecting the building’s exterior appearance.

Grounds Maintenance

Routine grounds maintenance was carried out across landscaped areas surrounding the facility. Services included grass cutting, hedge maintenance, weed control, litter removal, and general site upkeep to ensure the grounds remained attractive and well-presented throughout the year.

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

As part of a wider facilities management strategy, a planned preventative maintenance programme was implemented to proactively manage the site’s external assets. Regular inspections and scheduled maintenance activities help identify potential issues early, reducing reactive maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of key building components.

Result

The completed works significantly enhanced the appearance of the property while helping to protect external surfaces from ongoing deterioration. Through a combination of specialist cleaning, grounds maintenance, and proactive asset management, the facility continues to provide a clean, safe, and professional environment for all users.
