Polyteck Group has secured a £6 million construction and development contract with Anaspel, a leading property investment company. The 12-month project involves the construction of 35 private residences, including one-bedroom and studio apartments, within the Centre Heights development in Swiss Cottage.
Facilities Maintenance: The Key to Long-Term Asset Performance
New-build residential projects like Centre Heights need a clear maintenance strategy from the start. Many property owners prioritise construction quality but overlook post-completion maintenance. This often leads to avoidable and costly issues.
Common problems in modern residential buildings include:
- HVAC inefficiencies – Poor ventilation and air conditioning systems cause mould, poor air quality, and high energy bills. Regular filter checks and airflow balancing prevent these problems.
- Drainage and plumbing failures – Blocked pipes, leaks, and water damage result from poor installations or lack of maintenance. Routine inspections reduce the risk of major repairs.
- Fire safety system faults – Fire alarms, sprinklers, and emergency exits need regular testing and compliance checks to function correctly. Delayed inspections increase safety risks.
- Lift breakdowns – Unplanned failures disrupt daily life. Scheduled servicing and early fault detection help avoid costly repairs and downtime.
Polyteck ensures properties like Centre Heights, developed by Anaspel, stay safe, efficient, and fully operational. A well-maintained building lasts longer and provides a better living experience for residents.
Ensuring Seamless Property Management
To maintain Centre Heights at a high standard, Polyteck collaborates with Anderson Wilde and Harris, the appointed property management firm. Their combined expertise ensures:
- Integrated building systems that improve long-term efficiency.
- Proactive maintenance that reduces emergency repairs.
- Compliance with safety standards, keeping the property in top condition.
A well-maintained property lowers unexpected costs, increases tenant satisfaction, and preserves investment value. Anaspel understands that maintaining a building is just as important as constructing it.
Delivering Quality and Expertise
Stuart Fetti, Construction Director at Polyteck, highlights the company’s dual focus on quality construction and long-term serviceability:
“A well-built property must also be well-maintained. This project lets us apply our expertise in both areas. Our goal is to create a reliable and efficient living environment that lasts.”
With decades of experience in construction, refurbishment, and facilities management, Polyteck remains dedicated to sustainable building performance. As Anaspel expands its portfolio, expert-led facility maintenance will be essential in protecting assets and improving tenant satisfaction.
