What is the difference between planned and reactive maintenance?
Planned (preventive) maintenance involves scheduling regular inspections and works to prevent failures — for example, annual boiler servicing or periodic electrical testing. Reactive maintenance addresses faults after they occur. According to RICS, reactive maintenance costs are on average 3.2× higher per incident than planned preventive maintenance. 3COL offers both services, including scheduled maintenance contracts for commercial properties across Central London.

An EICR is legally required for rented commercial premises and must be renewed every 5 years or at each change of occupancy. 3COL issues the signed report on the same day works are completed.
What documents do you provide after a maintenance job?
3COL provides a same-day written job completion report after every maintenance visit. Waste removal jobs are accompanied by a licensed waste transfer note (required under the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011). Electrical works include a signed completion certificate. All jobs include a VAT invoice. Property managers can request copies by email within 24 hours.
How do I find a DBS-checked handyman for a commercial property in London?
To find a DBS-checked handyman for a commercial property in London, confirm the contractor holds Enhanced DBS clearance — not just a basic check — and can provide the certificate number on request. 3COL Maintenance Services Ltd employs only Enhanced DBS-checked staff, fully suitable for access to occupied commercial premises. Call or WhatsApp 07427 135911 for a free site visit with no obligation.
What is an Environment Agency waste carrier licence and why does it matter?
An Environment Agency (EA) waste carrier licence is a legal requirement under the Controlled Waste Regulations 1991 for any contractor who removes, transports, or disposes of controlled waste from a property. If a contractor removes waste without a valid licence, the property owner may be held jointly liable. 3COL holds EA Licence CBDL628634, and issues a waste transfer note on every job to support ESG supplier reporting requirements.

Yes. 3COL Maintenance Services Ltd holds £5M Public Liability Insurance (policy CHBS5426256XB) and £10M Employers Liability Insurance.
