Managing agents strive to make their buildings clean, safe and dry places to live for all residents.
So when residents suffer catastrophic water ingress through roofs or from another apartment in the
building, the least they expect during this upsetting time is for a swift response to stop the water
flowing, make safe any collapsed ceilings, start the drying out process without delay and ensure every
subsequent part of the insurance claim proceeds smoothly. With the more severe cases, the apartment is
uninhabitable, and the insurance company will provide for alternative accommodation.
At Propmanservices, we understand just how traumatic this scenario can be for the residents affects but
also for the managing agent, who will be liaising with an insurance broker, a loss adjuster, the claimants
and a variety of contractors.
We can help. Our knowledge of the insurance market, places us in a strong position to provide the
attentive service that that managing agent, broker and loss adjuster needs to push the claim along. Our
quotations contain our insight into the circumstances of the ingress, measurements, details of materials
to be used and photographs.

and soft skills – so residents, managing agents and loss adjusters can rest assured of the quality and
timeliness of our reinstatement work.

Of utmost important to a property manager, is to ensure the buildings in his/her portfolio are safe – and
demonstrably so.
Fire protection systems are increasingly sophisticated and depending on the fire strategy for the
building and the fire risk assessment, may well sere the common parts and each apartment. It is vital that
the panels, sounders, detectors, call points, AOVs, extinguishers and any other element of your fire
safety measures in a building are tested, certified and maintained in accordance with the latest
legislation and manufacturer’s recommendations.
At Propmanservices, we have the necessary competencies to test and certify your fire protection
equipment. We will provide you with the necessary paperwork to hold (electronically) on file. We will
diarise for the next visit, liaise with on-site staff as necessary, and generally give you peace of mind.
Preventing fires from starting in the first place is the aim. Fires often start from faulty electrical
equipment/installations, thus it is important to carry out EICRs at the recommended frequency and any
requirements are actioned.
Should a fire occur and emergency lighting has been installed in the building, it is essential that there
is safe passage for those evacuating, possibly in thick smoke. That is why emergency lighting must be
tested regularly, including ‘flick tests’ (typically monthly) and yearly drain-downs of the batteries to
ensure at least three hours of illumination will be provided by each unit. Any self-test emergency
lighting units must be maintained, and any faults repaired without delay.
For any electrical or fire protection testing, do contact us for a free
quotation.
