Schools need constant upkeep so that buildings, grounds, and equipment are ready for purpose at all times.

In and around Perth and Fremantle, several schools are enjoying affordable maintenance agreements with NexGen Tradies and Handymen.

Labour is guaranteed

Benefits include extending the life of equipment, appliances, and buildings. In addition, the maintenance records being kept help predict when replacements or major works are likely to be needed, making them an integral part of yearly budget planning. Another benefit is NexGen Tradies and Handymen’s labour guarantee.  

NexGen Tradies and Handymen’s maintenance agreements aim to help keep the schools running smoothly through fewer service interruptions.

Prevention saves money

Only fixing or maintaining a piece of equipment or a building when it breaks is known as ‘breakdown maintenance’.

NexGen Tradies identifies the breakdown maintenance approach as the least cost effective. Breakdowns occur when the care of equipment and buildings is overlooked, leading to expensive repairs or complete replacement. In contrast, a preventive, predictive and scheduled maintenance program extends the life of equipment and buildings, ultimately saving money.  

Preventive maintenance involves routinely checking equipment and replacing parts at regular intervals. Predictive maintenance keeps track of the age of equipment and structures and assesses when they will need to be replaced. This allows management to budget for the replacement.

When schools first approach NexGen Tradies, the team catches up on immediate maintenance issues and then moves to a preventive and predictive maintenance schedule. However, the team responds when any school has an emergency, for example a plumbing issue that’s flooding a floor, or an air conditioner that’s ceased working.

Happy to do offbeat tasks

No job is off limits and the team at NexGen Tradies and Handymen pride themselves in their flexible approach to the types of jobs they are happy to do. Ask them to fix a piece of scenery for school play and it will be done.

In more than 15 years working through all Perth and Fremantle’s inner and outer suburbs, they’ve been called out to assist with many unusual, offbeat tasks and achieved the desired results.
