ADS Group covers Wicklow on maintenance contracts carrying fire detection, emergency lighting, fire fighting equipment, intruder alarms and CCTV under one agreement with one renewal date and one certificate pack. A large share of the Wicklow work is for owners' management companies and managing agents, where the contract has to produce documents a board can act on as well as an engineer can read.
Management companies set a service charge once a year and live with it. A contract that produces unpredictable costs mid-year creates a governance problem, not just a financial one. A fixed annual price for the scheduled work, with remedials quoted separately and approved before they happen, is what makes the budget hold.
OMC boards turn over. If the fire safety records live in a director's inbox, they leave with that director. Records held by the contractor and reissued annually survive the handover, which is the difference between a development with a history and one that starts again every few years.
A current certificate and a complete service history, for the common areas, in a form an underwriter accepts. A contract that produces that pack annually turns renewal into a form-filling exercise rather than a scramble.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the Maintenance & Compliance page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Wicklow page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
