Building Maintenance
The building maintenance section carries out various repairs and maintenance work across the whole University estate using the direct labour team or other specialist approved contractors, as appropriate. There are usually a combination of legislative, insurance and safety issues to consider when carrying out the work, which is why it is important that all maintenance work is requested via our Helpdesk.
Currently, all planned building maintenance is limited to essential work required to maintain the safety and operation of our buildings and associated infrastructure.
Although it is sometimes unavoidable, we try not to use machinery or other equipment that may disturb study, work or sleep. To assist in programming tasks and minimising disturbance, we kindly ask academic and service departments to provide us with a timetable that describes the location and timing of functions, exams or other events that will require the absence of machinery noise.
