Services
You want expertise in your FM delivery, so it makes sense to engage with a specialist FM provider.
appex not only offers self-delivery but a supply chain with our close partners and their specialist engineers. This means you get the expert assistance you need, specific to the job that needs doing. No plumbers arriving at air conditioning tasks or electricians telling you they’re not qualified to fix your leak.
Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance
There’s much more to M&E maintenance than just looking after and managing your building systems. It’s about managing your assets and maintaining the investment you’ve made in your buildings. That’s why we do everything we can to help.
Our engineers partners` work hard to get to know everything about your Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) maintenance needs and compliance so you can relax in the knowledge that you’re in safe hands.
Our teams are armed with the skills and expertise required to assess and maintain all your M&E plant and equipment; critical power, cooling, lighting, heating, air-conditioning, ventilation systems, boiler maintenance, generators, fire and intruder alarms, CCTV, lifts and escalators and water treatment.
Services we provide include; planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, health and safety, minor works and projects, design and refurbs, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, compliance works, statutory tests, including portable appliance testing (PAT), fixed wire testing and periodic tests.
Additional Services
Statutory Compliance
The price of failure for both suppliers and clients in delivering a safe and secure environment is high. In extreme cases where there is a life or death threatening injury, it can result in prosecution and imprisonment and corporate manslaughter cases which, whilst rare, do focus on the responsibilities of directors and senior officers of an organisation. For most organisations the penalties for non-compliance may vary from heavy fines, increased insurance cost and of course reputational damage.
The focus however should not be about avoiding prosecution but implementing practical processes for keeping staff, the public and the buildings they occupy safe.
Failure to deliver compliance can also result in service delivery failures, which whilst not as severe as legal failures can impact on the operation of your facilities, your core business and your profits.
We will help you manage your regulatory commitments and streamline your maintenance system to ensure you meet your statutory obligations.
Fabric Maintenance
Our full range of building fabric maintenance services are performed by either dedicated site-specific handymen or using our mobile network crew who will visit you at short notice.
Our services can be provided as part of an integrated maintenance solution, combining fabric with mechanical and electrical maintenance, or as a stand-alone service. The choice is entirely yours and can include, surveys, inspections, roof repairs, brickwork, plumbing, door/lock repairs, stair repairs, drainage, ceiling tiles, redecoration, carpeting, glazing repairs, carpentry work and furniture and fittings repair & maintenance.

24/7 Service Desk
Our FM Helpdesk is integral to all our services. We know how important it is for your business to always have someone on the end of the line.

Planned Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance versus reactive repairs is a very one-sided battle.
Planned Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance versus reactive repairs is a very one-sided battle. Consider these advantages of scheduling your maintenance in advance rather than waiting to patch up the problem once it has developed.
Downtime
Shutting down operations at any time can have a direct impact on your customers and revenue, but by planning ahead you can schedule preventive maintenance to be carried out when it will cause the least disturbance and/or inconvenience.
Set costs
Planned maintenance means set costs can be factored into annual budgets, as opposed to breakdowns that will entail unforeseen outlays. Add to this the inconvenience of random disruptions and the impacts can be severe.
Maximising equipment life cycles
When you are able to accurately pinpoint likely problems before they arise, parts needing to be repaired or replaced can be identified before they fail – possibly mitigating further related breakdowns with that particular piece of equipment.
Early intervention via a regular schedule assists in maximising the overall functionality and lifetime of the equipment.
Avoiding downstream issues
Aside from the immediate impact of a breakdown, unexpected incidents can lead to further complications down the line, possibly as a result of chain reaction breakdowns, or unforeseen safety issues.
Future-proofing
The implementation of a management software solution enables us to capture data about all of your assets, while each asset is serviced and maintained separately. The data that is created can then help supply a long-term overview of trends and likelihoods.
