Mechanical and Electrical Services
The mechanical and electrical section are responsible for managing and undertaking repairs and investigations into issues, such as loss of power, lighting, leaks and heating faults. They are also responsible for the planned maintenance of wide-ranging mechanical and electrical installations and distributions. Using the direct labour team, measured term contracts and specialist maintenance contractors the team ensure that the estate is maintained in a safe and compliant condition.
Specialist contracts are procured as appropriate to ensure that legislative obligations are met. These contracts include, to name just a few, fire alarms, security alarms, lifts, automatic doors, boiler maintenance and emergency lighting. The team also organise statutory insurance inspections and tests for gas, water and electrical installations.
Although it is sometimes unavoidable, we try not to use using 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.
