Facilities management in Driffield

Facilities management in Driffield at a glance

Driffield is the main market town of the Wolds, with a long shopping street, agricultural and food businesses, a showground and an industrial estate at Kelleythorpe. Driffield is further from our Leeds base, so work there is organised as planned, scheduled visits grouped to make each trip count. Most enquiries from Driffield begin with one service that is not working, usually cleaning or grounds. We deal with that first and show how the others could sit on the same schedule if you want them to.

Driffield (YO25): the local picture

Driffield is the service centre for a wide farming area. Middle Street South and Middle Street North form a long shopping street, with Market Place at its heart. Kelleythorpe Industrial Estate to the south-west holds food, engineering and agricultural businesses, and there are further premises on Skerne Road and by the Riverhead, where old canal warehouses survive. The showground at Kelleythorpe hosts the annual agricultural show.

A long linear high street has many small units with shared rear access, and these need regular cleaning, window washing and managed waste. Food businesses on the industrial estate need non-production areas such as offices, corridors and staff rooms kept clean, and exteriors kept free of rubbish. Agricultural dealers have large yards that need sweeping and weed control. Warehouses by the Riverhead need gutters and yards looked after.

Driffield has plenty of Victorian brick buildings with slate, sash windows and cast iron rainwater goods, all of which reward planned attention. Industrial units at Kelleythorpe need cladding, doors, floors and yard concrete inspected and repaired in stages. Boundary fencing and signage are checked too. Work is kept clear of Thursday market and show week. Food sites are visited at times agreed with the operator to suit production.

AD Facilities Management treats Driffield as a planned destination from Leeds. It is one of the more distant towns we cover, and the service reflects that with scheduled visits agreed in advance. We carry out a site visit, write the schedule and provide one point of contact. Occupiers get a clear list of what happens and when, and additional work is added by arrangement.

What we check first on a Driffield site

• Whether there is a written cleaning specification at all, or only a number of hours.
• The bin store or waste compound: capacity, cleanliness, access for the collection vehicle and signs of fly-tipping.
• Car park surfaces, markings, kerbs and drains, along with litter and leaf build-up in the corners.
• External doors, closers, locks and thresholds, which take the most wear and cause the most complaints.
• Planting, grass edges and hedges against boundaries, paths and sight lines at the entrance.
• Signage, lighting columns and bollards for damage, dirt and anything loose.
