BlockCare Inspections

​

These are routine, on-site walk-throughs of shared residential buildings.  Conducted by experienced property clerks, we bridge the gap between heavy legal audits and allow you to free up property managers by us actively monitoring day-to-day maintenance, cleanliness, and security.

​

Key Checks:​

​​​​

• External Fabric: Assessing the roof, gutters, drains, and car parks for wear and tear.

• Security Systems: Testing entry phones, communal lighting,

• Emergency Systems: Flick-testing emergency lights and checking fire extinguishers to ensure nothing has been damaged or vandalized (Please note we are not able to check the substance inside the fire extinguisher, this will need to be carried by a professional fire certified individual, 

• Contractor Oversight: Ensuring cleaners, gardeners, and maintenance staff are properly fulfilling their duties as per their required project spec.​

• Communal Areas: Inspecting entrances, lobbies, hallways, and stairwells for damage, cleanliness, and clear escape routes.

   

  Our reports include a written description and time stamped photographic evidence and where applicable any recommendations. We aim to send the same clerk to the building each time to build up familiarity with the areas and past works. 

   

  Emergency storm damage reporting. We can go urgently to site after a storm to report on damage so that you can appoint the correct contractors immediately.

   

  All our work is independent, we are not a maintenance company so are not reporting for work. So the report you receive is completely unbiased. 

   

  We can send out drones to look at large land areas with video / photographic feed back, we can also use these to asses roof spaces and guttering thats in more inaccessible areas.
