When you’re responsible for commercial premises, our building managers and caretakers take the pressure off. They are your eyes and ears.

Building managers protect you from break-ins, spot repair issues before they become problems and help you meet insurance requirements.

Building management service

A building management service protects the value of your assets. It prevents property deterioration and reduces the risk of trespassing or vandalism — particularly important at high-risk vacant buildings.

Your property is in safe hands. Our building managers meet BS7858 standards, which brings peace of mind when trustworthiness is so crucial.

What does our building management and caretaking service include?

  • External and internal inspections to ensure insurance requirements are met
  • Securing doors, windows and letterboxes
  • Utility drain down and isolation
  • Fire testing, security lighting checks and pest control
  • Monitoring utilities to check for unauthorised use
  • Identifying and resolving maintenance issues

Regular real-time reporting keeps you up to speed, and you’ll be alerted immediately to any potential risks and hazards.

Building managers and caretakers for vacant premises

Vacant premises are an expensive headache for landlords and property managers. They attract squatters, thieves and anti-social behaviour — plus there’s the constant worry about weather damage and leaks.

We’re specialists in vacant property security. Our building managers and caretakers have a deep understanding of the risks and how to deal with them. For example, they will:

  • Check for any attempts at illegal entry
  • Test and reset alarms
  • Check CCTV
  • Warn you about any security risks or safety hazards
  • Recommend options for fixing vulnerabilities
  • Carry out maintenance checks externally and internally
  • When authorised, deal with maintenance issues for you

It’s our job to suggest flexible options which fit your budget, so call the CSG team on 0844 561 0578 or send us a message.

Key features of our building management service

Tailored property inspections

We tailor inspections to your insurer’s requirements. You’ll receive a comprehensive real-time report — a permanent record of compliance, complete with photographic evidence.

Cheaper insurance

You’re meeting insurance obligations, and providing documentary proof, so premiums can be cheaper. For vacant buildings, insurance can be easier to come by.

Preserving asset value

Building managers spot maintenance issues early. They’ll alert you in good time, or take action themselves to protect the value of your assets.

Security system checks

The service brings peace of mind. Our staff check CCTV, intruder alarms, fire alarms and security lighting to make sure everything is working efficiently.

Security expertise

It’s proactive risk management. You get an early warning of any security risks or potential vulnerabilities, and expert advice on how to solve the problem.

A safe pair of hands

Our managers and caretakers meet BS7858 standards. It’s a comprehensive, auditable vetting and screening process designed to ensure our staff are reliable and trustworthy.

FAQs

You may have some questions about our managing and caretaking service. We’ve answered some of the most common questions here, although please feel free to call us on 0844 561 0578

Can we trust your staff with the safety of our building?

Yes. All our professional managers and caretakers meet BS7858 standards. It’s the primary benchmark for vetting staff who have access to sensitive areas, confidential data, valuable assets or keyholding responsibilities

It means that our personnel are reliable and trustworthy. They’ll always carry out their duties with diligence and respect for your staff, assets and property.

Which types of property can you provide managers and caretakers for?

It can be for virtually any type of commercial property. Offices, retail parks, multi-tenanted residential blocks, medical or leisure facilities can all benefit.

The service is particularly valuable at vacant properties. It reduces the risks associated with empty premises — crime, building deterioration, weather damage and so on.

How can property management reduce my commercial insurance premiums?

It can lower the cost of insurance premiums because you’re carrying out proactive risk management.

Insurance companies generally impose strict regulations on providing cover for commercial premises, particularly vacant properties. Insurers expect proactive risk reduction to avoid claims following criminal activity, electrical faults, fire, water leaks or environmental damage.

We tailor our service in line with your insurer’s specific requirements. You can show them detailed evidence which proves you’re managing the risk. This can reduce premiums, and it means insurance can be easier to find.

Does the service guarantee that any insurance claims will be paid out?

No. However, it does increase the likelihood. You have a paper trail which stands up to legal scrutiny in the event of a claim.

There are many reasons why insurance cover can be voided. The most common are failure to mitigate risk, and insufficient evidence of proactive risk management. Our service protects you against those, and a lot more.

Will your personnel liaise with the emergency services if required?

If the situation requires a blue light response, yes they will. What’s more, because the callout has come from an accredited security company, the emergency response can be faster. They know it’s a genuine emergency, not a false alarm.
