Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) and why is it important?

A BMU is a permanently installed system that provides safe access to a building’s facade for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. Our Standard, Modular, and Custom BMUs are engineered to deliver reliable, long-term access BMU maintenance with maximum safety.

How does a Custom BMU differ from other types?

Standard BMUs are suitable for common facades and cost-effective solutions. Modular BMUs offer flexible components for adjustable layouts. Custom BMUs are engineered specifically for unique façades, including curved, angled, or complex building designs.

Can these systems be added to existing buildings?

Yes. We evaluate the structure, assess load capacity, and design a compliant BMU that integrates smoothly. Additionally, Refurbishing outdated BMUs improves performance and safety without major disruption.

How often should BMUs be serviced?

Regular maintenance is essential. Annual inspections are recommended, like a BMU statutory inspection, or a BMU 9.3 LOLER inspection but frequency may increase depending on usage or environmental factors. Our certified technicians perform full mechanical, electrical, and safety checks to ensure compliance and reliable performance.
