We recognise that security is an important consideration for all managers of apartment blocks. The safety of their residents, their property, and the building are their key priorities. And ours.
At Yorkshire Block Maintenance we work closely with trusted partners to review and implement security protocols and install appropriate equipment, on site and within the grounds of apartment blocks.
These can range from energy saving external lighting, for the continual reassurance of residents, to door entry systems and full estate CCTV systems, external and internal.
Some of our clients require live monitoring of systems, and in some circumstances, look to us to help provide manned security, perhaps on a temporary basis. For example, when a local event means that there is an influx of pedestrian traffic near their premises, and a heightened risk of opportunistic trespass and theft.

Fire safety ranks high on the priorities of owners and managing agents of apartment blocks. Legally and morally, the burden of compliance has never been higher.
Yorkshire Block Maintenance work with expert partners to review and maintain your fire safety protocols and equipment, ensuring a safe environment for your tenants and your buildings.
Our fire safety partners are fully qualified in all aspects of building and fire safety, they conduct thorough assessments to understand all foreseeable risks.
The compliance requirement for fire inspections continues to rise, and our partners are able to provide clear advice and action plans to ensure that your apartment block remains safely within the parameters of all fire safety legislation and building codes.

In a densely populated urban environment, pests are an ongoing issue. From nesting wasps to rodents, there is a range of issues caused by pests.
We are on hand to protect your tenants and property against the risks and disturbance caused by pests.
Our role is to recognise this and carry out appropriate, safe, and compliant pest control. We do this on a proactive basis to provide the best possible defence against the influx of pests.
If, as a property manager, you have an outbreak of pests, and are in need of pest control, we have a fast-track reactive team of partners who are on site quickly.
Their expertise means that they can quickly understand the scope of the pest problem and implement speedy action to stem the spread of any issues.

In a high occupancy zone such as an apartment block, waste removal is an important consideration, for reasons of health and safety, environmental health, and the aesthetics of your building.
All team members at Yorkshire Block Maintenance are registered to legally carry and transport waste, this is particularly useful for getting rid of the green waste created from our grounds work, and household items that have been left behind during end-of-tenancy cleaning.
Yorkshire Block Maintenance can supply fully approved waste management containers through our trusted partners which help your residents to dispose of their waste in accordance with recycling requirements.
From time to time, you may have additional waste management requirements, for example when contractors are working on site. We can support you with appropriate waste management and ensure that inconvenience, fuss, and mess for your residents is removed by arranging the prompt and clean removal of contractor waste.
