Can One Company Really Look After It All For You?
If you’re responsible for a building, whether it’s a school, a surgery, a commercial unit, or a manufacturing facility, you will know the pressures. Maintenance tasks pile up, compliance deadlines loom, and you’re left juggling different contractors for plumbing, electrics, heating, safety systems, and more, and when something breaks down, it can cause chaos.
So, can one company take care of everything for you and do it well?
At ETS, we believe building maintenance shouldn’t be complicated, stressful, or unpredictable. You deserve a partner who takes the load off, keeps things running smoothly, and solves problems before they become disruptions. That’s what we do, and we do it every day for clients across Bristol, the South West, and the UK.
Our team is here to keep your building operating as it should, safely, efficiently, and without issues. Whether it’s planned maintenance, emergency support, or long-term asset care, we bring a level of ownership and attention that gives you total peace of mind.
What you need is a trusted team that works alongside you and your team, and that’s exactly what ETS does. Call us today at 0117 9414 666 and we can answer any questions you have about our building maintenance services.
What Do We Mean by Building Maintenance Services?
Building maintenance means different things to different people. For some, it’s a quick response when the heating fails. For others, it’s a monthly compliance check, a fire alarm service, or keeping mechanical systems in peak condition. In summary, it’s all of those things and more.
At ETS, when we say building maintenance, we mean looking after your building in a way that’s complete, consistent, and entirely tailored to you.
Here’s what that includes:
Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM)
We carry out regular inspections and servicing to stop small issues from becoming big, expensive problems. From boilers to lighting to control panels, we help you stay ahead of failures, not just react to them.
Reactive Maintenance and Emergency Call-Outs
Things still go wrong from time to time. Our skilled engineers promptly respond to these issues, ensuring minimal downtime and disruption.
Electrical Testing and Certification
We keep your systems safe and compliant with full testing, fault finding, and certification services, including EICRs, PAT testing, emergency lighting checks, and more.
Mechanical Servicing
This includes HVAC systems, pumps, valves, and heating equipment. We check they’re working and ensure they’re working efficiently, safely, and in line with all current standards.
Fabric Maintenance
Doors sticking? Ceilings damaged? Windows leaking? These seemingly small issues affect your team’s comfort, security, and reputation, and we handle them all.
Statutory Compliance Tasks
We manage the schedule, handle the paperwork, and carry out the tasks, from fire alarms to legionella testing, ensuring your compliance without requiring any effort on your part.
External and Grounds Maintenance
If required, we also look after external areas, from lighting and signage to minor civil works, because we understand that first impressions matter.
Our approach is about keeping your building at its best so you can focus on running your business, not managing avoidable problems.
The ETS Difference
There are plenty of companies offering building maintenance, so why choose ETS?
Our maintenance team will make your life easier. We do things differently, and those differences mean real benefits for you, your team, and your building.
A Single Partner You Can Rely On
When you work with ETS, you’re not managing a patchwork of providers. You have one team to call, one plan to follow, and one trusted name on the paperwork. That means less admin, fewer mistakes, and more time for you to focus on what matters.
We Think Ahead So You Don’t Have To
Reactive maintenance is expensive, not just in cost but also in downtime and disruption. Our proactive approach spots issues early, fixes them properly, and prevents repeat visits. You’ll reduce unexpected repairs, protect your budget, and avoid the chaos of surprise breakdowns.
Tailored Service Agreements That Fit You
Your building isn’t like anyone else’s, so why should your maintenance plan be? We don’t do off-the-shelf contracts. Instead, we work with you to build a schedule that reflects your site’s needs, your priorities, and your resources. Whether you need quarterly visits or daily checks, we’ll get the balance right.
Real Engineers With Pride in the Job
We believe in hiring people who care. Our engineers are qualified, experienced, and chosen not just for what they know, but for how they work. That means clear communication, tidy workmanship, and a professional attitude on every visit. When you meet one of the team, you’ll know you’re in safe hands.
Transparency and Trust at Every Stage
No jargon and no surprises—we tell you what’s happening, what needs attention, and what it will cost, clearly and honestly. This is why we have a successful management team and how we build long-term relationships that work.
ETS is a partner who’s invested in your building’s performance and your peace of mind.
Sectors We Serve
No two buildings are the same, and neither are the people managing them. This is why we adapt our service to the way you operate. Whether you’re running a busy school, an industrial facility, or a multi-tenant office, we understand the pressures you face, and we know how to work around them.
Here’s how we tailor our service by sector:
Commercial Spaces
You need systems that work and issues that get sorted quickly. Whether it’s an office block, shopping centre, or mixed-use site, we provide responsive support, minimal disruption, and maintenance that keeps your business looking sharp and running smoothly. We work around tenant needs and trading hours, so your operations aren’t affected.
Industrial & Manufacturing Environments
We understand that downtime costs money, and we understand the pressure to keep your plant running, your machinery in excellent working order, and your people safe. Our engineers know how to work safely and efficiently in your live environments, and we’re used to high-spec, high-compliance settings where precision matters.
Education
From safeguarding to scheduling, we understand the unique requirements of schools, colleges, and universities. We carry out planned maintenance during holidays or half-terms wherever possible, with DBS-checked engineers who understand the importance of working respectfully and securely on your site.
Healthcare & Care Facilities
Whether it’s a GP surgery, clinic, or residential care home, your environment must be safe, compliant, and comfortable 24/7. We’re experienced in HTM-compliant maintenance, with an approach that’s discreet, hygienic, and always sensitive to vulnerable residents or patients. You’ll benefit from systems that just work, with less risk, less stress, and fewer surprises.
Public Sector & Local Authorities
We understand the need for transparency, accountability, and long-term value. Our reporting is clear, our costs are honest, and our work is reliable, which is exactly what you need when you’re managing public buildings under scrutiny.
We are proud to serve a wide range of clients across the UK, and no matter what your sector, you will get a maintenance partner who understands how your building works and your business operates.
Why Proactive Maintenance Saves You Time, Money, and Stress
It’s common to neglect building maintenance until a problem arises, but by then, you’re not only addressing a fault, but also dealing with downtime, disruption, disgruntled staff, and unanticipated costs.
That’s why we believe proactive maintenance isn’t just good practice; it’s good business.
When we maintain your building on a planned, preventative basis, you benefit in ways you might not even see at first, but you’ll definitely feel:
Fewer Breakdowns and Emergencies
By checking your systems regularly, we catch the early signs of wear, damage, or inefficiency and fix them before they become full-blown failures. That means fewer last-minute call-outs and far less operational stress.
Lower Long-Term Costs
Emergency repairs are always more expensive, not just in call-out fees, but also in damage, overtime, and downtime. Planned maintenance spreads the cost, reduces major fixes, and keeps your systems running at optimal efficiency.
Longer Equipment Lifespan
Whether it’s a boiler, an air conditioning unit, or an electrical panel, regular care means it lasts longer. That helps you delay big capital replacements and keeps your building performing better and for longer.
Compliance
Health and safety legislation doesn’t wait for you to catch up. With our proactive approach, you stay ahead of statutory requirements like fire safety, emergency lighting, and gas safety checks, with full documentation ready when you need it.
Less Day-to-Day Issues
You can focus on running your business, supporting your team, serving your clients, or delivering your services when you don’t have to worry about what might go wrong.
With ETS looking after your building, you’ll spend less time reacting to problems and more time reaping the benefits of a property that just works.
Always on Hand: Responsive Call-Outs and Emergency Support
Despite having the best maintenance plan in place, unexpected events such as equipment failure, fuse trips, or sudden water leaks can still occur. When that happens, you don’t just need a contractor; you need someone who knows your site, responds quickly, and solves the problem with confidence.
We understand that downtime costs money, disrupts staff, and affects your reputation. That’s why our emergency response service is designed to get you back on your feet without delay.
Fast, Reliable Call-Outs When You Need Them Most
We have qualified engineers available to respond promptly to urgent issues across the South West and beyond. Whether it’s outside of normal hours or during a critical event, we’ll assess the situation quickly and provide a fix that’s safe, effective, and lasting.
Engineers Who Know Your Site
Because we already maintain your building, we arrive with the context and understanding needed to get straight to the issue. We are familiar with your systems, have recorded your equipment, and comprehend your priorities, ensuring no time is lost in catching up.
Clear Communication From First Contact to Final Sign-Off
When you call us, you’ll speak to a real person who understands building systems, not a faceless call centre. We’ll tell you what’s happening, when we’ll arrive, and what your options are. We’ll keep you updated until the issue is resolved.
No Shortcuts, No Guesswork
Emergency doesn’t mean rushed. We take the time to diagnose problems properly and fix them the first time. This approach prevents the need for repeated visits and ensures that the job meets the same high standards as our planned work.
When the unexpected happens, ETS is the partner you can depend on.
Safety and Compliance Without the Headaches
Keeping your building safe and legally compliant isn’t optional, but it can feel overwhelming. With so many regulations, tests, and inspection schedules to juggle, it’s easy to lose track of what’s due, what’s been done, and what’s still at risk.
At ETS, we help you meet your legal obligations, making it straightforward, trackable, and stress-free.
We Keep the Schedule, So You Don’t Have To
From fire alarms and emergency lighting to gas servicing, PAT testing, and water hygiene checks, we manage the full compliance calendar. You’ll never miss a deadline, inspection, or renewal, because we’ve got it covered.
Clear Documentation, Ready When You Need It
Need to prove compliance during an audit or inspection? We provide detailed reports, service logs, and certificates as standard. Everything’s accurate, accessible, and properly formatted, so you’re never left scrambling to find paperwork.
Risk Assessments and RAMS as Standard
Every job we do includes a full risk assessment and method statement. Whether it’s a routine maintenance visit or a high-risk repair, our team works safely and responsibly, with proper procedures in place, and you’ll have the documentation to prove it.
Trained Engineers, Trusted Standards
Our team is trained and qualified in all the latest regulations, from Gas Safe to NICEIC and everything in between. We stay up to date with changes in legislation so you don’t have to worry about being caught out.
Peace of Mind for You and Your Team
Most importantly, working with ETS means you can sleep well knowing your building is safe, your responsibilities are met, and your people are protected, without the constant pressure of keeping up with ever-changing compliance rules.
Compliance shouldn’t feel like a burden. When you’re working with ETS, it is part of the process, done properly, on time, and without the stress.
The Tech Behind the Service
Good maintenance isn’t just about tools and knowledge; it’s also about having the right systems in place to keep everything organised, visible, and running smoothly. This is why we invest in the technology that makes your life easier and your building more efficient.
You won’t be left wondering what’s been done, what’s due next, or where your certificates are; you’ll always have clarity, backed by smart systems that put you in control.
Digital Job Tracking and Reporting
Every job we do is logged, timestamped, and documented. Whether it’s a minor repair or a full-service visit, you’ll receive a report after completion, with notes, photos, and any recommendations.
Automated Reminders and Service Schedules
No more guessing when your next inspection is due. Our system sends proactive alerts to let you know when statutory checks, routine maintenance, or renewals are approaching, giving you time to plan and prepare.
Data That Drives Better Decisions
By centralising information about your building’s systems and performance, we help you make informed choices—whether that means replacing ageing equipment, upgrading to greener alternatives, or spotting trends that indicate emerging issues.
Technology at ETS focuses on making processes easy and ensuring clarity. We use smart systems to keep things simple, transparent, and fully under control.
