Supporting Block Management with Facilities Maintenance
MANAGEMENT
Streamlined Block Maintenance
Managing residential blocks and multi-tenanted properties comes with its own set of complex challenges. Block managers must ensure that properties are compliant with regulations, balance budgets and coordinate multiple contractors, all while maintaining resident satisfaction and safety. Voltix Services partners with block managers to reduce the strain with specialist facilities maintenance solutions that simplify tasks, safeguard assets and maintain a high standard of living for residents.
How Planned Preventative Maintenance Supports Block Management
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is the backbone of reliable block management. Using this approach, essential building systems are serviced before issues arise, not after they disrupt residents. With Voltix Services, you benefit from a team that understands the unique needs of residential and mixed-use blocks.
Our condition-based approach is driven by Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and smart monitoring.. This means we know when systems need attention, often before your residents do. This results in fewer breakdowns, lower reactive repair costs and happier tenants who enjoy uninterrupted services.
The Benefits of Specialist Facilities Maintenance
Heating Systems
Reliable heating and hot water are non-negotiable for residents. We maintain boiler rooms, pipelines and HVAC systems to ensure consistent uptime year-round. Our engineers are trained to work flexibly around your residents, providing clear method statements in advance so you can manage expectations and plan ahead.
HVAC Services
Good air quality is essential for tenant well-being. Regular HVAC system maintenance and condition-based monitoring help detect faults early, ensuring ventilation systems operate efficiently around the clock. Our BESA membership and SFG20-aligned processes guarantee every task has a clear step-by-step process and is completed to the highest standard.
Water Monitoring
Hidden leaks can be costly and cause a huge disruption. That’s why we use IoT-enabled sensors to monitor for water intrusion, pipeline pressure drops and other signs of leaks. This data-driven approach allows for immediate intervention, protecting the building, preventing leaks from getting worse and saving money on major repairs.
Fire and Security
Fire safety is a legal priority and a necessity for block managers. Our accredited engineers test and maintain fire alarms, emergency lighting and security systems to keep your block fully compliant. Comprehensive reporting and digital records ensure you have the necessary evidence for inspections and insurance purposes.
Lighting Upgrades
Well-lit communal areas improve security and resident comfort. We maintain and upgrade lighting systems to reduce energy waste and create shared spaces that are welcoming and safe. Smart monitoring allows technicians to replace faulty fittings quickly and proactively.
Lift Maintenance
Safe, reliable lift access is essential in residential blocks. Our engineers carry out routine inspections, servicing and emergency call-out support to minimise downtime. With proactive maintenance schedules and compliance checks, we ensure lifts remain operational, safe and fully certified for everyday use.
Your Partner in Block Management Success
Providing Solutions to The Challenges Faced by Block Managers
Block managers have to address a variety of demands daily and without reliable facilities support, it can be quite a challenge.
Common pain points include:
Multiple contractors mean multiple certificates with different renewal dates. Our integrated CRM tracks every task, stores documents securely and makes record-keeping simple.
Keeping residents happy is key to smooth block management. Voltix ensures communal areas are safe, well-maintained and efficiently serviced, improving resident experience and reducing complaints.
Residential blocks don’t have downtime, so your HVAC, lifts and security systems have to be able to operate around the clock. We provide out-of-hours response and clear, pre-agreed maintenance plans and dates to minimise disruption.
Unexpected failures cause stress for managers and residents alike. Our proactive approach to facilities maintenance, smart monitoring and fast response time means fewer breakdowns and better communication.
Unplanned costs can cause significant strain on resident associations. We help block managers forecast capital expenditure by identifying assets near end-of-life, planning replacements far in advance and supporting transparent budgeting.
Using several suppliers increases complexity and risk. Choosing Voltix means having one reliable partner for all your maintenance needs. Streamlining your operations, lowering costs and eliminating the hassle of managing multiple contractors.
