Facilities management in Low Moor

Facilities management in Low Moor at a glance

Low Moor is an industrial area on the southern side of Bradford, where big distribution and manufacturing sheds line the M606 alongside older works premises and small trade yards. Low Moor is inside our West Yorkshire patch and is served with regular scheduled visits from Leeds. Whatever the building, the approach is the same: we walk the site, list what each service should cover, and give you a schedule you can check visits against.

Low Moor (BD12): the local picture

Low Moor is on the southern edge of Bradford, beside the M606. Euroway Trading Estate is the biggest concentration of property, with large distribution centres and manufacturing plants. Older works premises and smaller trade units line Cleckheaton Road, Common Road and New Works Road, on land long associated with iron and chemical production. Low Moor station has reopened on the Calder Valley line, and there are local shops along Huddersfield Road.

Big sheds need big, repetitive routines done well. Transport offices, driver welfare rooms and canteens on Euroway need cleaning at times that fit round-the-clock operations. Yards and gatehouses collect windblown packaging. Waste volumes are high, with cardboard, plastic wrap and pallets all needing separate handling. The older premises on Cleckheaton Road have smaller needs but the same basics: clean welfare areas, clear drains and tidy frontages.

On large units the perimeter matters as much as the building. Fencing, gates, barriers, bollards and yard markings are knocked about by vehicles and need regular repair. High-level gutters and cladding need planned inspection from proper access equipment. Older brick works buildings need pointing, lintels and steel windows checked. We plan repairs with site managers around shift changes and peak dispatch periods, so that loading bays stay in use.

Low Moor is quick to reach from Leeds by the M62 and M606. Our first visit covers the building, the yard and the boundary, as all of them usually need including. We then issue a written schedule setting out scope and frequency. A single contact at AD Facilities Management runs the account and attends site reviews with you as often as the schedule says.

What we check first on a Low Moor site

• Whether there is a written cleaning specification at all, or only a number of hours.
• Entrance matting, door glass and reception floors, because they set the first impression of the building.
• Washrooms and kitchens: condition, consumables and how often they are really being attended.
• Gutters, downpipes and gullies at low level, and any staining on the walls beneath them.
• The bin store or waste compound: capacity, cleanliness, access for the collection vehicle and signs of fly-tipping.
• External doors, closers, locks and thresholds, which take the most wear and cause the most complaints.
