Staying compliant with current building legislation is vital in order to sustain safe and legal operation for your business or property.
Priority 1 provides businesses and organisations with comprehensive compliance and risk management solutions, which are tailored to meet your exact requirements.
Statutory building compliance for both commercial and residential property is complex. A stringent set of regulations requires those in control of such premises to complete assessments, testing and inspections to comply with all aspects of the legislation.
Priority 1’s aim is to mitigate the health and safety risks faced by our clients. We provide a first class service to ensure estate portfolios, commercial and residential buildings remain compliant with the legal requirements and the relevant recommended standards.
Priority 1 clients can choose the building related services they wish to be combine as part of a facilities management service. This helps to ensure property compliance, risk mitigation and best practice.
The key services we offer include, but are not limited to:
• Periodic maintenance reviews and property compliance auditing
• Boiler and Heating system checks and servicing with annual gas certification
• Air Conditioning (A/C) System checks and general maintenance
• Sewerage pump maintenance
• Water Hygiene & Legionella RA (Risk Assessment)
• PAT and fixed electrical appliance testing

• Emergency Lighting maintenance and testing

• Life systems maintenance and testing
• Lightning conductor inspection and testing
• Asbestos Risk assessment
• Lifting equipment maintenance
• Roof and height safety systems maintenance
• Grounds maintenance including gritting
With the management plan complete, a timetable for condition assessment can be put together. This requires a qualified member of staff visiting the premises and assessing the condition of all the asbestos identified in the survey. Where the condition of the material has changed then a report will be compiled which details the new risk level and makes recommendations regarding any changes to the ongoing management process.
In some instances, removal of asbestos is the only option due to its location or condition or because required works are likely to cause disturbance. At Priority 1, we can manage the removal process for you, by appointing competent contractors, developing a timetable for the work to reduce the disruption and closely managing the budget for the removal process.
The management process will include preparation of a removal specification, arranging quotes from approved contractors, overseeing works on site and ensuring independent air testing prior to the production of the Certificate of Re-Occupation.
