    • More than just a traditional builder, Property Maintenance (Building Agency) is able to provide new build construction along with the individual services such as joinery, plumbing and electrical. We have some highly specialised services such as gas servicing, heating and ventilation, lift maintenance, advice on asbestos surveying and reporting plus removal, demolition and security services.
      Whether you require a particular service or a complete solution to all your building maintenance and security needs, Property Maintenance has the experience and professional expertise to satisfy your requirements.


      All our staff are highly trained and motivated and we have achieved 'Investors in People' accreditation for commitment to providing our managers, supervisors and operatives with the skills and training that they require to carry out their work to the highest standards.
      We recognise the importance of promoting and ensuring working practices which are safe for both our staff and customers, and our Health and Safety Management System has been awarded RosPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) level 2 status.  We are committed to managing our environmental effects, and Leeds City Council recently became the largest organisation in Europe to be awarded EMAS (Eco-Management Audit Scheme) accreditation for its dedication to systematically reducing its impact on the environment.

      Our commitment to customer satisfaction, brought about by a highly trained and motivated work force, can be no better demonstrated than by our accreditation to the ISO 9001 Standard for Quality Management. Property Maintenance has had a Quality Management system in place since 1996 which has recently been updated to be in accordance with ISO 9001:2000. This has been accredited by S.G.S. Yarsley.

      This system used in conjunction with key Performance indicators allows for the following:

      • Methodology for monitoring performance and resolution of time slippage and defects.
