Why choose us

A single building maintenance contractor for the whole property

VCNY Group delivers commercial building services to offices, retail units, warehouses, hotels, schools and healthcare premises across the UK and Ireland. We hold everything from a reactive call out at two in the morning to a full floor refurbishment, using directly employed teams and a supply chain we have worked with for years.

Because the group also covers civil engineering, tarmac surfacing, line marking, anti skid coatings and specialist cleaning, works that spill outside the building stay with the same contractor and the same programme — no second procurement exercise, no gap between packages.

  • Free site survey and a fixed price against a written scope
  • Operatives on site within the hour for reactive works
  • Site specific RAMS, permits and insurance issued before mobilisation
  • Works phased around trading hours to keep the building open
  • Photographic records and a handover pack on completion
  • Single point of contact from survey through to sign off

In detail

What our commercial building services cover

Whether you manage a single unit or a national portfolio, the work below is delivered by the same teams, to the same standard, with the paperwork your records and audits require.

Planned preventative maintenance

Scheduled inspection and repair that keeps a building compliant and stops small defects becoming expensive ones. We agree an annual programme, budget it in advance and report against it site by site, so spend is predictable and nothing lapses between visits.

Reactive repairs and emergency call outs

We operate 24 hours a day and can have operatives on site within the hour. Typical call outs include water ingress, roof leaks, failed shutters and doors, broken glazing and storm damage, with a permanent repair programmed straight afterwards.

Commercial refurbishment and fit out

Office fit out, retail refurbishment and warehouse upgrades, from space planning and partitioning through to ceilings, lighting, flooring, decoration and furniture. Works are phased around your operating hours so the building keeps trading.

Dilapidations and end of lease works

We price against the schedule of dilapidations, carry out the works and hand over a photographic record so the position can be settled with the landlord quickly. Where it is more economic to negotiate than to build, we will say so.

Fire safety and statutory compliance

Fire door inspection, remedial works and replacement, fire stopping and compartmentation surveys, barriers, collars and sealing, plus accessibility improvements. Every element is photographed and documented for your compliance file.

Mechanical, electrical and fabric

HVAC and ventilation, plumbing and heating, lighting and distribution upgrades, alongside roofing, cladding, brickwork, concrete repair, glazing and drainage. Anything outside the building stays with the same contractor.

Work that runs outside the building is covered by the same group: civil engineering, tarmac surfacing, line marking, anti skid coatings and specialist cleaning — on the same order and the same programme.

How we work

Four stages, from first visit to handover

Whether it is a single reactive repair or a full building refurbishment, every project receives the same structured approach, attention to detail and commitment to quality.

01

Survey

We visit, measure and photograph the building, then quote a fixed price against a written scope.

02

Programme

Dates, phasing, RAMS, permits and access arrangements agreed before anyone mobilises.

03

Delivery

Our own teams on site, working around your operating hours, with daily progress updates.

04

Handover

Joint sign off, before and after photographs, waste transfer notes and certification.

Sectors

The Right Expertise, Always

Every building comes with its own constraints and challenges — trading hours, staff and public on site, deliveries, access restrictions and operational requirements. We take the time to understand them before works begin, so the programme is planned around the way the building actually runs.

01

Retail parks & shopping centres

Overnight and out of hours works that keep units trading and customer parking open.

02

Logistics hubs & warehouses

Doors, floors, racking bays and welfare areas maintained around 24 hour operations.

03

Schools, colleges & universities

Delivered in holidays and half terms, with DBS checked supervision on site.

04

Healthcare & community facilities

Infection control, clear access routes and disruption kept away from patients.

05

Local councils & public authorities

Framework and schedule of rates works across public buildings and estates.

06

Commercial developers & investors

Fit out, remedial and handover works taken through to practical completion.

07

FAQs

Building services questions

Which commercial building services do you provide?

Everything from planned and reactive maintenance through to full refurbishment and fit out: internal alterations, partitioning, ceilings, flooring, decorating, roofing, cladding, brickwork, concrete repairs, doors and glazing, fire stopping, M&E, groundworks and drainage. Take one trade or the whole package on a single order.

Do you carry out reactive call outs as well as planned works?

Yes. We operate 24/7 and can have operatives on site within the hour for emergencies such as water ingress, failed shutters or storm damage. Reactive call outs run alongside planned maintenance on the same account.

Can you work in occupied and trading buildings?

Most of our work is in live buildings. Offices, retail units, warehouses and hotels rarely close, so we phase works overnight, at weekends or floor by floor, with dust screening and safe segregation throughout.

Do you handle dilapidations?

Yes. We price against the schedule of dilapidations, carry out the works and provide a photographic record on completion so the position can be settled with the landlord.

Is a site survey and quotation free?

Yes. Surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation. We normally survey within a few working days and return a fixed price against a written scope shortly afterwards.

Do you work across the whole of the UK?

Yes, and Ireland. Our regional teams cover single sites and national portfolios, including multi site programmes delivered simultaneously across several regions.

What insurance, accreditations and paperwork do you provide?

Site specific RAMS, permits, insurance certificates and accreditation details are issued before mobilisation, with waste transfer notes, photographs and a handover pack on completion.

Can you take on small repairs as well as full projects?

Yes. A single door repair or a floor of remedial works is as welcome as a full refurbishment, and small works often lead into a longer planned programme.
