Overview
Care homes are busy, occupied environments where safety and continuity matter. Fire door performance, passive fire protection integrity and day-to-day building condition all have a direct impact on residents, staff and visitors.
Maximum Maintenance Ltd supports care home operators, facilities teams and managing agents with a compliance-first approach: practical surveys, prioritised remedial scopes, and tidy delivery that keeps disruption low while providing clear records for your compliance file.
We can support both reactive needs (urgent issues that can’t wait) and planned programmes across single buildings or multi-site portfolios.
What’s included
- Fire door inspections and condition surveys
- Planned maintenance and remedial programmes (prioritised schedules)
- Fire door repairs and upgrades to restore performance
- Passive fire protection remedials (e.g., fire stopping / compartmentation defects)
- General building maintenance support to keep sites operational
- Maintenance operative cover for essential checks (where required)
- Clear reporting to help you evidence work completed and next actions
How it works
- Agree scope — confirm areas, access windows, and the outputs you need.
- Survey & inspection — complete site visits with minimal disruption and clear site coordination.
- Report & plan — provide a practical remedial schedule so you can budget and programme.
- Deliver works — complete agreed actions safely, tidily and with resident/staff awareness.
- Handover — provide documentation and close-out records for your compliance file.
Typical scopes
- Fire door inspections across bedrooms, corridors, risers and plant areas
- Door maintenance and repairs (closers, seals, glazing, latches and frames)
- Remedial works following audits or internal checks
- Fire stopping to service penetrations and riser cupboards
- Making-good and small works identified during inspections
- Planned maintenance to reduce repeat defects and avoid urgent call-outs
Documentation & reporting
We focus on evidence-led delivery: you’ll receive clear outputs you can share internally and retain for audits. Where required, reporting can be structured to support digital compliance systems (including BORIS).
