Warehousing and Logistics
Warehouses combine vehicle movements, loading operations, storage and staff areas. A building defect can affect goods protection, usable routes or access to a loading area. Maintenance planning needs to consider where people and vehicles move, including temporary changes during the work. HSE provides workplace transport guidance for the wider site arrangements.

Access, occupancy and coordination
Confirm where contractors can park, unload and reach the work area. Agree any temporary relocation of goods and the contact who can manage vehicle or pedestrian access while the task proceeds.

Decisions that shape the work
Define the area that can be taken out of use and the condition needed before it reopens. Access equipment, floor loading, work above stored goods and protection of stock can influence the method. Repairs to equipment also need the maintenance and inspection boundaries clear.
Projects and improvements
Building Services Upgrades support changes in capacity or operation. Minor Works can address local alterations and repairs. Planned Replacement Programmes organise renewal of building elements or equipment around operating windows. Explore all project types for the wider offering.
Maintenance and repairs
Use planned maintenance to organise recurring tasks and reactive maintenance for faults affecting the property. Identify the operational consequence clearly: a defective loading-area light and a roof leak over stored goods need different preparations and responses.
From enquiry to completion
Describe the fault or alteration and provide photographs and location information. The scope includes access, protection and making good so the finished job can be accepted by the site contact.
Records and follow-up
Keep asset and location references, completion photographs and relevant technical results with the property records. Record any continuing restriction or follow-up task rather than assuming the area is fully available after attendance.
Locations covered
We support properties across the recorded North East England coverage area, including Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and wider locations in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Teesside. Use the locations directory and include the address and access contact for each property.
Frequently asked questions
Can work continue while the warehouse operates?
The task and site arrangements determine the practical method. Define safe separation, vehicle interfaces and the areas that must be temporarily unavailable.
What should a roof-leak report include?
Identify the location, when water appears, affected stock or equipment and safe photographs. External conditions and internal effects help the investigation scope.
Can yard drainage be included with building repairs?
Yes. Explain the affected routes and standing-water pattern so drainage investigation and external repairs can be coordinated.
Does servicing lifting equipment replace examination requirements?
No. Maintenance and any required thorough examination have different purposes. Keep the applicable arrangements explicit for the equipment.
Useful guides
Use the property condition survey checklist, read CCTV drain surveying, and explore refurbishment budgeting.
