A unique and specialist approach to the industrial sector.
Industrial Building Maintenance is the specialised inspection, cleaning, and repair of high-level assets within manufacturing plants, factories, and warehouses. It requires IPAF-licensed access teams, strict adherence to HSE Working at Height Regulations, and the ability to maintain building fabric; such as cladding, gutters, and rooflights, without disrupting live production lines.
Minimising Production Downtime
We work around your shift patterns to protect output. In a manufacturing environment, asset availability is the primary KPI. Unplanned maintenance causes downtime, and downtime costs money.
NSS operates a 24/7 reactive service, allowing us to carry out high-level cleaning or essential repairs during “silent hours” or planned shutdowns. Our self-delivered model means we control the schedule, ensuring we are off-site before the first shift restarts.
Safety & Compliance Specifications
-
Working at Height: All operatives are trained to IRATA (rope access) or IPAF (powered access) standards, ensuring full compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
-
Equipment Compliance: Our access platforms undergo rigorous LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) thorough examinations every 6 months.
-
Risk Mitigation: We provide site-specific RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statements) for every project, crucial for high-risk industrial zones involving moving machinery or chemical hazards.
Combustible Dust & High-Level Cleaning
Combustible dust refers to fine particles (such as wood, flour, or metal) that accumulate on high-level beams and trusses. If left unmanaged, these pose a significant fire and explosion risk in industrial settings.
NSS Dust Control: We utilise ATEX-rated industrial vacuums and high-reach access platforms to safely remove combustible residues from overhead pipework and steelwork, ensuring compliance with insurance audits and fire safety standards.
