How Global Brands Handle Multi-Site Maintenance Without the Chaos
If you're managing retail locations across the UK, Ireland, or Spain from an international HQ, you already know the challenge: something always needs fixing, and you're always scrambling to find someone local who can actually do it.
The traditional approach gives you two options. Both expensive, both frustrating:
Option 1: Hire full-time facilities staff in every country
High overhead costs for salaries, benefits, and management
Inconsistent quality standards across locations
Complex HR requirements in multiple jurisdictions
Still need contractors for specialised work
Option 2: Coordinate maintenance chaos from HQ
Managing dozens of local contractors remotely
Different pricing structures, response times, and standards
Language barriers and time zone complications
No single point of accountability when things go wrong
Emergency repairs become multi-day nightmares
Both options drain resources, create headaches, and still leave gaps in coverage.
The Third Option: Your Local Maintenance Team, Without the Overhead
Preventor Building Services operates as your dedicated facilities partner across the UK, Ireland, and Spain. Think of us as your local maintenance department, except we're already established, fully resourced, and ready to respond.
One Call Handles Everything
No more juggling contact lists or wondering who to call for what. One phone number, one email, one WhatsApp contact, and your maintenance request is handled, regardless of the trade required. Best of all? we have local teams in strategic points ready to respond, no more travelling fees or extra cost to mobilise workers from site to site.
Emergency repairs at 7 AM? We're on it. Planned refurbishment project? We'll coordinate it. Need permits and RAMS documentation for shopping centre work? Already sorted!
What Sets Us Apart
All Trades, One Provider
Electrical work and certifications
Plumbing and HVAC systems

Specialist services: roller shutters, glazing, locksmith
Grounds maintenance and cleaning
No more coordinating multiple contractors for a single project. We handle it all.
Response Times Measured in Hours, Not Weeks
While other maintenance companies are quoting 1-2 week lead times, we're responding in 3 hours to 3 days for most work. Our strategically positioned teams across the UK and Ireland mean faster service without premium emergency rates.
Fixed, Transparent Pricing
Send us your job specifications. We provide a detailed quote within hours. You approve the price before any work begins. The invoice matches the quote. No surprise travel charges, no inflated hourly rates, no hidden costs.
You know exactly what you're paying before we start.
We Navigate the Red Tape
Shopping centre permits. Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS). Insurance verification. Portal registrations.
For international brands, this administrative maze can delay urgent repairs by days or weeks. We're already registered, approved, and ready to go in major retail venues across our coverage areas.
Built for International Retail Operations
We understand the unique pressures of managing retail locations remotely:
Brand consistency matters: Your stores need to look and function to the same standards everywhere.
Downtime costs money: Every hour a store can't operate is lost revenue.
Documentation is essential: You need proper records for compliance, insurance, and reporting.
Communication must be clear: Real-time photo updates so you know work is progressing. Budgets need certainty: Fixed pricing lets you plan maintenance costs accurately
Who We Work With
Retail chains with multiple UK and Ireland locations that are in need of consistent maintenance standards. Office complexes that require reliable facilities support. Commercial properties where reputation and presentation matter. International brands that need a trusted partner on the ground.
The Preventor Difference: Peace of Mind at Scale
We don't just do maintenance. We do peace of mind.
When you trust your maintenance provider, you sleep soundly knowing your properties are handled professionally. When you don't trust your provider, you're constantly supervising, chasing updates, and managing crises. We built Preventor so you can do the first one.
Our clients don't chase contractors for updates. They don't wonder if the work was completed properly. They don't get surprise invoices that destroy their budgets.
They simply trust that it's handled across every location, every time.
