Building Fabric Maintenance Services

Heb Facilities Management delivers responsive, high-quality building fabric maintenance services to protect the safety, usability, compliance, and appearance of your premises. Our in-house teams and approved supply chain partners work across the UK, providing reactive and planned repairs to internal and external building elements. From roof leaks and cracked windows to fire door upgrades, ceiling repairs, sanitary ware replacement, and flooring restoration, we keep your buildings safe, regulation-ready, and fit for purpose.

With regional teams based in Sheffield, Doncaster, Leeds, and St Helens, we offer rapid local delivery across Yorkshire and the Northwest, backed by national coverage for multi-site FM clients. Whether you manage a retail park, education estate, housing association portfolio, or healthcare facility, we provide end-to-end support for building fabric issues that can’t wait. We understand the operational impact of broken fittings, damaged walls, non-compliant fire doors, or unsafe surfaces, and we respond with urgency, precision, and care.

All building fabric works are delivered in line with your safety procedures, insurance requirements, and reporting frameworks. We scope each task, agree costs transparently, and track delivery using Joblogic, our central CAFM platform. Whether it’s a responsive emergency repair or a planned lifecycle refurbishment, Heb Facilities Management gives you full visibility, audit ready documentation, and total control from start to finish.

Responsive Fabric Repairs

Not all faults are mechanical or electrical, but they can still pose safety and compliance risks. Our fabric maintenance team handles everyday issues that impact user safety, building integrity, fire protection, and building usability. We respond to broken doors, smashed glazing, ceiling tile collapse, loose floor coverings, cracked tiles, damp patches, failed gutters, blocked downpipes, damaged cladding, broken fencing, graffiti removal, and vandalism repairs.

These works are typically reactive in nature, logged by caretakers, estates teams, or FM leads, and triaged through our helpdesk. Once a job is raised, it is assessed and scheduled by our local building fabric team, often on the same or next working day. We prioritise defects that relate to fire safety compliance, water ingress, access issues, or health and safety hazards. All works are completed to a professional standard by qualified trades, recorded in Joblogic with before/after photos and sign-off documentation.

Our local delivery model ensures faster reaction times and better coordination with facilities teams. Our engineers work safely, respectfully, and in line with safeguarding requirements, particularly in education, healthcare, and social housing settings. Whether it’s a dangerous step in a care home, a flooded corridor in a school, or broken windows in a retail space, we fix the issue before it causes wider damage or reputational risk.

Planned Building Fabric Refurbishment

In addition to emergency call-outs, Heb FM delivers planned building fabric refurbishment works across the UK. These are often identified through condition surveys, PPM inspections, risk assessments, or estate lifecycle reviews. Planned works may include redecoration, flooring replacement, roof repairs, door and window upgrades, sanitary ware installation, suspended ceiling replacement, joinery works, paving repairs, fencing reinstatement, and insulation improvement.

We work with FM directors, building surveyors, and estates managers to define scope, select materials, coordinate access, and plan delivery to avoid disruption. Our projects are programmed around term times, clinic hours, and operational downtimes to protect business continuity and building users. Every team member is briefed on your internal protocols and works to our in-house health and safety procedures.

Whether it’s a full school corridor refurbishment, GP waiting area upgrade, or multi-block painting programme for housing associations, Heb Facilities Management ensures professional delivery that enhances your environment and extends asset lifespan. We serve public sector clients, commercial landlords, housing associations, and national FM providers seeking visible improvements with minimal disruption.

Fabric Compliance and Safety Upgrades

Fabric maintenance is more than cosmetic, it’s a legal requirement. Heb FM provides compliance-led fabric maintenance aligned with DDA, Part M, and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. We replace and install fire doors, fire-rated access panels, handrails, ramps, door closers, intumescent strips, and emergency egress solutions to meet statutory fire safety and accessibility standards.

We also support works related to energy performance and environmental compliance. This includes roofing insulation upgrades, rendering repairs, external wall insulation maintenance, damp proofing, and structural reinforcement. Our teams carry out brickwork repointing, lintel repairs, and cladding fixes to ensure external envelope performance and durability.

Every compliance-led fabric repair or upgrade is logged in our CAFM platform with photographic records, test certifications (where applicable), cost breakdowns, and engineer notes. This supports clients undergoing audits, regulatory inspections, or those compiling data for ESG and lifecycle reporting. With Heb, compliance isn’t an afterthought, it’s embedded in every job.

A Full FM Partner for Building Integrity

Our Building Fabric Maintenance service is part of a wider suite of FM support that keeps assets safe, sustainable, and fully functional.
