Planned Maintenance
At Unico Contracts Ltd we share the view that all social housing should meet a minimum standard of decency and we have a wealth of experience in delivering housing maintenance programmes in Northern Ireland.
We understand that it is particularly important that our housing clients receive a regular, timely and reliable service. We are conscious of the financial constraints that housing associations face and the necessity for work to be carried out efficiently and at a reasonable cost.
As responsible builders, we can help you to manage this balance and support you to ensure that you provide quality housing for your tenants both within their own homes and in communal spaces and the surrounding environment.
We provide programmes of planned maintenance and cyclical repairs specifically tailored to the needs of our clients. Our services cover all major repairs, internal whole replacement works, including:
• Internal and External Redecoration
• Installation of New Kitchens and Bathrooms
• External Rendering
• Replacement of Doors and Windows
We understand the importance of social responsibility to our housing clients. Health and Safety is at the heart of our work and we always ensure that our working practices abide by best practice standards for the construction industry.
We are committed to full engagement and regular communication with your residents and wider local community to ensure that their wishes and needs are always considered.
