Beta Group has warned companies to avoid cutting back on building maintenance during times of economic hardship because it could cost them more in the long run.
The service and maintenance company’s general manager Dave Rooney said that no using qualified personnel to carry out such work could have dire consequences.
He said: “Companies must realise that cut-backs and short-cuts will cost them much more in the long term.
“If they don’t use qualified personnel to carry out their maintenance on a regular basis their properties will suffer. They may think they are saving money but neglecting their properties will cost them much more in the long run.
“We are already hearing nightmare stories as a result of property owners trying to cut back on maintenance. In once case unqualified individuals were commissioned to replace a boiler. But when the job was inspected on completion they discovered it had been installed incorrectly and was causing sky high energy bills.”
Beta Group's clients include major commercial properties and businesses, town centre stores and schools and education establishments.
Rooney added: “Buildings represent a very significant investment so the maintenance and servicing work we do on behalf of our clients is protecting their investment as well as saving them money in the long term.”
