Business description

Well Established Maintenance Company Specialising in UPVC Windows and Doors, Glazing Repairs & Property Refurbishment

This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a growing company who specialise, in providing a wide ranging property maintenance and repair service.

Originally the company started out in 2002,fitting UPVC double glazing and doors. It was soon apparent that there was a niche in the market place for a company to offer a specialist maintenance and glazing repair service, and so the company wasted no time in putting their efforts into a new direction.

The company has an excellent group of clients of which the local Health Authority is the largest. They look after all of the glazing and door repairs for the major hospitals and clinics and are also called on to help with other repairs as diverse as jet washing and removal of chewing gum and graffiti.

The business is profitable and has trebled in size over the past three years. They have a reputation for the speed in which they react, coupled with an excellent workforce, who are able to troubleshoot the most arduous of taks.

This business would be perfect for a new owner with fresh energy, new ideas and entrepeunerial skills, ideally with a trades background.

Customer Service:

Customer service is paramount to the success of this business. This business is built on a supply and demand basis. The company provides their contracts with a 24 hour, all year round service, as on some occasions broken windows and doors need to be boarded up to secure the premises on a temporary basis. Normally the repair is then completed bringing the premises back to full working order. It is this flexibility that has been the bedrock of the company’s success.

All of their work is guaranteed with 10years on UPVC windows and 5 years on glass. “K” glass installations are fitted when required. The company is FENSA registered and has also obtained “Trustmark” status.

Key Strengths:

The key reason why business has been successful and why their clients contact them on a continuous basis, is they offer an excellent and uniquely flexible service proposition.

The company has built up, over the years, direct relationships with the Local Health Authority and are, the preferential supplier of the maintenance contract to the three main hospitals and the health clinics on Tyneside. They also have a large database of clients, including estate agents and other Industrial Units, who regularly utilise the specialist service the company provides. They are in close contact with these customers on a daily basis advising them as to their availability.
