Planned Buildings Maintenance and Repairs
Covered under office reinstatement, office dilapidations and office refurbishments, planned maintenance and repairs can be placed within an agreed package to ensure continued good condition of your building through; building surveys, fire door surveys, electrical fixed wire testing and emergency lighting testing for example, with full reports issued alongside rectifying recommendations.
Scheduled works can be planned for and carried out as a part of project works or as a part of a maintenance package whether you’re a building owner, tenant, landlord or developer. We work with commercial, business, organisations and companies as well as educational groups such as schools, colleges and universities, outlining and carrying out remedial works.
Maintenance works can include: brickwork repairs, plumbing, electrical works, roofing, guttering, redecorations, flooring, kitchens, plumbing, fire alarm and security in addition to other works, and bespoke options, beyond those listed here.
At TB Fit Out we work in line with your budgets for repairs and maintenance and can schedule around school terms and busy business spells to accommodate your people and working/workspace areas. Projects are managed by experienced and knowledgeable project managers with our skilled professional trade teams who will communicate and work with you and your needs whilst the works are completed and with due aftercare to ensure you are always satisfied with the outcome.
Building Condition Assessments and Surveys look to inspect the physical, mechanical and electrical condition of your buildings, systems and external areas. Ensuring Statutory and Health and Safety compliance. They assess the building in that moment in time, offering an overview of the health and condition of a building where recommendations of required works and risk concerns, or where defects or deterioration can be identified as a legislative need as well as preventative measures to maintain standards.
We provide qualified surveyors to carry out the building condition surveys (which roughly takes around 45 minutes) as a visual inspection at a time to suit you and your people with a full suite of options and suggestions of what needs to be carried out, timeframes of how long that will take to rectify alongside a full report and quote of reparation works for proposed remedial action as well as any future planned maintenance that can also be assessed.
We offer fully comprehensive Fire Door Surveys with detailed reports on the condition of the entire doorset. It is the legal responsibility (according to the Fire Safety Order Oct. 2005) and requirement to ensure that fire and escape doors are installed correctly and maintained at all times.
Planned, scheduled and assessed fire door surveys ensures compliance and safety is maintained. Regular inspections are needed in all areas where your fire doors are in place and more so in high-use areas where footfall is greater and where wear and tear will appear more quickly.
We fit Forza supplied fire doors with certification, usually FD30 and FD60 fire rated standards, that can withstand a fire for a minimum of 30 or 60 minutes. All of our fitters are BRE Academy, Timber Fire Doors, Installation, Repair and Maintenance Certified, trained and qualified. Meaning that a high standard of inspection and methodology is applied across all building/property types.
Continued maintenance and consistent checks of your fire doors, doorsets, intumescent strips, frames, hinges and self-closing devices ensures full operation is always at optimum level at any given time and that any corrective action from inspective checks can be scheduled to maintain commercial as well as legal standards.

Electrical Fixed Wire Testing maintains your electrical installations and circuits throughout your buildings, looking at safety and regulatory compliance. For example, this could include the testing of; main panels, distribution boards, lights, air conditioning and plug sockets.
In London and throughout the whole of the UK, Fixed Wire Testing is a legal requirement for commercial properties and maintains electrical safety with the frequency of these tests dependent of the property/building ranging from 1, 3 and 5 years dependent on the property and installation itself.
Compliance aligns with the HSE Act (Health and Safety at Work) as well as Electricity at Work regulations (1989). We offer qualified testers, reliable and legally compliant installations alongside Electrical Fixed Wire Testing.
Emergency Lighting Testing
System types can vary the volume of frequency that your emergency lighting should be tested, however, as a general rule of thumb it is important to have emergency lighting ‘flick tested on and off’ monthly as well as a full annual duration test.
The lighting of emergency routes and exits should be illuminated by indicated signs in the event of an emergency and where normal lighting fails. Emergency lighting is a legal UK requirement within commercial buildings covered under the BS 5266 standard and also under the Fire Safety Reform (2005) as well as other regulatory and legal standards/reforms.
All of our testing inspections are carried out by qualified and accredited electricians where robust and thorough testing and compliance of your emergency lighting is assessed.

"I just wanted to write to thank you for all of the hard work that you and your teams have put in this summer on Ducks and Verites. Once again you were on time and produced a high quality finish in both houses and undertook additional work as the project went along. Your site agents were excellent and Leon in particular has received a huge amount of praise from the Verites house team and adjacent Gownboys housemaster. The projects both look amazing and I feel certain that the pupils will be very pleased with their new spaces."

“We used Trevor Blake Fit Out to help Creative reconfigure our workplace to provide a COVID safe environment in anticipation of staff returning to the office from mid 2021, as well to refresh the appearance of such space given a rebranding exercise that had been completed by the business in 2020. Throughout the scoping and quotation process the liaison with Trevor Blake Fit Out was just as we needed, with options and recommendations fully explained to us, and the quality of the work completed by the team was first class, meaning that we now have a workplace that staff are pleased to return to, and take pride in working within, and which is fully enabled to allow Creative to operate effectively as we hopefully move to a post-pandemic operational model. We have used Trevor Blake Fit Out on many occasions in the past, and would be expecting to use them again in the future.” Neil Gough, Operations Director, Creative

“In the 10 years that we’ve worked with Trevor Blake Fit Out we’ve amassed a multitude of projects at our current and previous premises, encompassing: a full office fit out, alterations to our current partitioning, dilapidation of our previous premises and electrical works which included lighting alterations. They have also supplied us with collaborative furniture and monitor arms with cable management to all of our existing work stations which allowed more of a clean desk policy. Their help enabled us to create flexible zones that enhanced our work flow processes and made our working areas places that our staff could thrive within, where they can work in a way that suits them and a space where they can be comfortable and productive within. Choosing to work with TB Fit Out is always an easy choice with their expertise, professionalism and guided solutions to make our workspaces the best it can be for everyone within it and whom we welcome into it.”
