Anything with a building
One point of contact for the whole building.
From the plant room to the front door, we run it. Planned maintenance, reactive cover, statutory compliance and the trades to put it right, under one contract with one accountable party.

Learn moreWhy Guardian
One contract, instead of nine relationships.
Most commercial buildings in London are maintained by a patchwork: one contractor for electrical, another for air conditioning, a cleaner, a fire company, someone local for decorating, and a property manager refereeing it all by email.
Every joint in that patchwork is where a job, an invoice or a certificate goes missing. We replace it with one management layer.
We work nights. You open as normal.
Offices, shops and clubs cannot afford to shut for maintenance. Evening, weekend and phased working is the assumption, not a premium you discover halfway through. We clear up behind us and you trade the next morning.
Evidenced, not asserted
Every job logged with a time, an owner and an outcome. Every certificate filed against the building, so it stays when a contractor goes.
Straight about scope
We tell you what we self-deliver and what we manage through an accredited specialist. No contractor claiming accreditations it does not hold.
Where we work
Every kind of London commercial building.
A warehouse fails at the roof, a shop at the shopfront, a club in the showers. The discipline is the same; the priorities are not.

The floor, the fit-out, the survey.
Guardian runs the specialist arms as well as the management layer, which is why the scope is unusually wide for a single contract. A job that starts as a reactive call and turns out to need a floor replaced, a survey taken or a room rebuilt does not need a new contractor and a new quote cycle.

Scan SurveysHow we work
How a building comes onto contract.
Step one • The walk round
We record what is actually there
Plant, age, condition and what the law requires of it. A schedule written from a price list rather than a walk round is worthless.
Step two • The scope
Written down and itemised
A scope, a schedule and a price, split so it can be phased. You see what each part costs and decide what happens first.
Step three • The work
Around the building, not through it
Phased, out of hours, room by room or floor by floor. The building carries on being used; that is the constraint we plan against.
Step four • The evidence
Closed out and certified
Every job closed with an outcome, every certificate filed against the building. You can answer an auditor without ringing us.
Free, no-obligation quote
Tell us about the building. We will do the rest.
What it is, where it is, and which part of running it is causing you grief. We come back with how the group would handle it and what it would cost.
