The world of business has faced a lot of challenges of late and a small mistake can mean putting you out of business. Building repairs and maintenance play a critical role in ensuring that your business premises adhere to the building warrant of fitness (BWoF). Regular upkeep of your building can save you thousands of bucks, many lost days, and endless frustrations.
Let’s first understand what BWoF is before we move any further with our discussion. Shall we?
What is a Building Warrant of Fitness (BWoF)?
A BWoF is an annual statement of the owner of the building that confirms the specified systems required for compliance with the schedule for their building are maintained for the past 12 months. That’s according to the compliance schedule.
Generally, you need to ensure the safety of everyone in a building and proper maintenance from the time it’s built is a must. You also need to maintain and repair the various types of equipment in the building.
Hire Professionals For Repairs And Maintenance Work
Hire repair professionals to help you with the maintenance schedule for the best results. An experienced professional can tell you easily that your Hood and Vent cleaning, restaurant exhaust cleaning, duck and fan work cleaning, kitchen hood degreasing, or hood cleaning should all be handled in a very scheduled and organized manner. You have to do this on time and not just when you think it ought to be done.
Need For Regular Maintenance
You should take care of something before it turns into a problem and cost your business so much. Whatever type of business you’re operating, you should let your customers know that they can rely on you for quality services without compromising safety. Regular maintenance implies that you can take care of your clients well. You may feel like regular maintenance and repairs are costly, especially if you’re just getting started. You may not know is that you can lose more money if you don’t do something about it.
An experienced business owner budgets for repairs and maintenance regularly as they understand the value of ensuring proper functioning of equipment in their business. When you care for your equipment properly, they will in return care for your employees or the building your business is housed in. That will be very profitable in the long run.
Great Customer Retention
A business with good upkeep makes customers feel comfortable and can return and even come with their loved ones. Your customers may not ask you straight if you’ve taken care of emergency repair services if you’ve repaired your hot water sanitizing, exhaust cleaning, or anything but will obviously notice the difference when you have and when you haven’t taken care of these things. Businesses like restaurants that fail to perform regular maintenance and repairs are at the risk of failing Fire or Health safety codes. We have also talked about the BWoF above; you have to ensure your compliance with every code, law, and regulation.
Give Your Customers The Best
Your customers deserve the best. They will keep returning when you give them that. If you’re running a restaurant, ensure that your customers enjoy the best experience. The place should be somewhere where customers feel at home. They will surely know if you don’t do regular maintenance and repairs.
Your staff will also need to work in an environment that’s safe for their well-being. Your commercial kitchen needs to have well function hood and vents. Proper and routine cleaning of these facilities will ensure that issues like kitchen fires are kept at bay. If you haven’t done kitchen hood degreasing for a long time, then there must be concerns about a dirty kitchen and failing health code regulations.
Conclusion
You have to ensure that you adhere to the building warrant of fitness and other code that requires your business to be safe for everyone’s safety. A small mistake could cost your business so much money.
