A practical, evidence-led approach
Building services planned around your premises
Facilities and property managers are often accountable for outcomes across buildings they do not occupy every day: safe operation, responsive maintenance, tenant satisfaction, contractor coordination, budgets and evidence. ComGas Services UK Ltd, established in 2019 and based in Farnham, is a Building Services Contractor supporting commercial and domestic buildings across Surrey and the surrounding southern counties.
We can support commercial gas, heating and boilers, plumbing and commercial pipework, mechanical and electrical services, HVAC, air conditioning, BMS, plant rooms and water heaters. Our wider capability includes planned preventative maintenance, maintenance contracts and SLAs, temporary boiler or heating support, gas testing, tightness testing, purging, decommissioning, commercial kitchen gas, renewables, heat pumps and oil. We do not assume fixed contract terms or response times: these are defined around the portfolio and site requirements.
Capabilities
Services for managed estates
Our services can be commissioned individually or coordinated into a maintenance and project plan. The portfolio schedule should define the assets, locations, frequencies, exclusions and reporting route.
Commercial plumbing and water heaters
Plumbing, pipework, hot water and water-heater work for occupied and managed buildings, planned around access, isolation and reinstatement requirements.

Maintenance and project support for pumps, pipework, ventilation, plant interfaces and mechanical systems, coordinated with other contractors and building operations.

Electrical installation support for plant, controls, distribution and refurbishment interfaces, with agreed testing and documentation requirements.

HVAC, air conditioning and BMS support to address comfort, control, plant visibility and maintainability across offices, communal areas and other property types.
Learn more about HVAC, cooling and BMSPPM programmes
Planned preventative maintenance built around an agreed asset list, visit frequency, checks, report format, defects and follow-up responsibilities.
Learn more about PPM programmesMaintenance contracts and SLAs
Contract options can define service boundaries, communication, escalation and reporting. Terms and service levels are agreed for the portfolio; no fixed response or availability is presumed.

Temporary boiler, heating or plant-room measures can be assessed for planned replacement or failure situations, subject to technical suitability, access and engineer availability.

Operational priorities
Priorities for facilities and property managers
A strong maintenance relationship is built on consistent information and disciplined follow-through. These priorities help turn multiple requests and assets into a manageable plan.
One view of the estate
Build an asset register covering boilers, burners, water heaters, pumps, ventilation, cooling, controls, gas supplies and relevant electrical interfaces. Record location, identifier, condition, service date, defects and next action.
Triage and escalation
Define categories for emergency, urgent, routine and planned work, including who can authorise attendance or remedial spend. The process should distinguish a dangerous defect from an inconvenient but non-critical fault.
Consistent reporting
Use a repeatable visit record with asset references, observations, tests, photographs where useful, defects, risk, recommendation and status. Reports should help a manager decide what happens next, not merely prove a visit occurred.
Access and contractor coordination
Capture keys, permits, induction, asbestos information, landlord approvals, tenant notices, parking, delivery routes, roof and plant-room access. Coordinate interfaces where several contractors share a shutdown or work area.
Budget and lifecycle planning
Separate compliance-related actions, urgent repairs, planned remedials and capital replacement options. Condition, energy, reliability, access and future maintenance cost all belong in the decision, not just the initial price.
Close-out discipline
Track quotations, approvals, materials, appointments, defects and handover records to completion. An open recommendation that is not assigned, dated or reviewed can become a hidden estate risk.
Prepare the brief
Make managed-property work easier to control
A clear mobilisation or project brief gives the facilities team a reliable baseline and helps avoid repeated discovery visits.
Portfolio schedule
Provide addresses, building use, occupancy, contacts, access rules and a list of critical assets. Identify sites with resident, patient, public, industrial or food-service constraints.
Existing records
Share service reports, risk information, statutory records, drawings, warranties, asset labels, BMS details and open quotations. State the source and date of each record where possible.
Commercial controls
Set approval thresholds, purchase-order rules, quotation requirements, invoicing contacts, call-out authorisation and the treatment of additional defects or out-of-scope work.
Performance and reporting
Agree visit frequency, report fields, defect categories, escalation timescales if required, meeting cadence and the format for asset or compliance dashboards. Avoid specifying an SLA until the operating model is understood.
Site logistics
Document parking, loading, permits, inductions, escorts, roof access, plant-room keys, asbestos information and permitted working hours. These practical details affect safe delivery and price.
Review and improvement
Schedule periodic review of recurring faults, replacement priorities, access problems, energy opportunities and outstanding actions. A contract should provide useful insight, not just repeat visits.
Competence and records
Clear accountability across the estate
Facilities managers coordinate many duty holders but do not automatically inherit every legal responsibility. The client, landlord, employer, occupier or managing agent must establish who controls each system and requirement. HSE guidance on gas safety, asbestos, work equipment, legionella and contractor management provides useful context; applicable fire, electrical, water and building duties should be confirmed for each property. ComGas supplies agreed engineering services and records while the client retains its management and appointment duties.
Relevant credentials include Gas Safe Registration, OFTEC Registration, REFCOM F-Gas Certification, CHAS Accreditation, Constructionline Approval, Commercial and Domestic ACS, OFTEC Engineers, Heat Pump Qualifications, WRAS/Water Regulations, Commercial Pipework, Commercial Catering and Commercial Testing & Purging credentials. These are applied according to the specific task and system, not as a universal guarantee of all inspections, designs or specialist works.
We can help facilities teams structure surveys, planned maintenance, remedial priorities, shutdowns and handover. Emergency support is assessed case by case and is not a contractual attendance guarantee: attendance depends on engineer availability and site requirements at the time of the call.

Contact ComGasCan you take over an existing maintenance schedule?
We can review an existing schedule and propose a practical scope. Asset condition, history, frequencies, exclusions, access and reporting requirements should be checked before any contract is agreed.
Do you provide an asset register?
An asset register can be included in a survey or maintenance mobilisation where agreed. It should define the fields, asset labels, locations, condition grading and ownership of future updates.
Can you attend multiple properties?
Multi-site support can be discussed where locations, assets, access and reporting arrangements are clear. The proposal should state included sites, travel or access assumptions and any specialist exclusions.
Do you offer fixed response times?
Response arrangements and any service levels are set out in the maintenance contract for the specific portfolio, not assumed as standard. Emergency attendance depends on engineer availability at the time, so timescales should be agreed in writing rather than taken as a fixed commitment.
How do you handle defects found during PPM?
The report should record the defect, risk, recommendation and next action. Additional remedial work is quoted or authorised through the agreed process; it is not assumed to be included unless the contract says so.
Can you coordinate several engineering disciplines?
We can coordinate agreed gas, heating, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, HVAC and controls scopes. Interfaces, design responsibility, specialist contractors and client approvals should be identified before work starts.
