Why Buy our Service

Building reactive maintenance works can be time-consuming and complex, which happen without notice and can quickly escalate to major issues in the complexities of the school environment that can negatively impact upon your ability to provide teaching and learning. These often need the involvement of multiple parties in their resolution; all needing to be contacted by you. Our service does this on your behalf; minimising your time spent engaging contractors and removing your risk in dealing with multiple partners.
