Professional maintenance for commercial offices across Central London. Plumbing, electrical, painting, carpentry and deep cleaning - all under one contract. Minimal disruption. Maximum quality.
It's 08:45 on a Monday. Staff arrive to a flooded WC — a cistern overflow that ran all weekend. The reception ceiling is stained. The fire door on floor three won't latch. HR reports the air conditioning has been rattling since Thursday. Your FM team is dealing with four separate contractors, four separate invoices, and none of them can be there before Wednesday.
3COL clients have one number. One contractor. All trades.
Office maintenance in London covers all reactive and planned building maintenance required to keep a commercial office operational, safe, and legally compliant. Core services include: plumbing and drainage (WC, kitchen, water supply), electrical maintenance and EICR (Electricity at Work Regulations 1989), painting and decorating, carpentry (door furniture, partitioning, fixtures), building fabric repairs, deep cleaning, and end-of-tenancy dilapidations. Commercial offices must also comply with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 — requiring employers to maintain the workplace, including its structure, equipment, and facilities, in an efficient state, in efficient working order, and in good repair. Legionella management under ACOP L8 and fire safety under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 apply to all occupied office premises in London.

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (Regulation 5) require all employers to ensure that the workplace, equipment, devices and systems are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, and in good repair. This is a statutory duty — not a best practice. Failure to maintain a commercial office can result in HSE improvement notices, prohibition notices, or unlimited fines under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. For London offices: the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require periodic EICR (recommended every 5 years or on change of occupier); the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires annual fire risk assessment; and ACOP L8 requires annual legionella risk assessment for any office with a water system. According to CIBSE Guide M (2014), planned preventative maintenance reduces reactive callout frequency by an average of 40% — making PPM one of the highest-ROI cost controls available to an FM Director managing a Central London office portfolio.
