For us, facilities maintenance means the repairs and trade jobs that keep a commercial site working, from a sticking door to a tripping circuit. We log them and send the right trade, mostly at sites we already clean. Budgets, leases and whole-building facilities management stay with you.

What's covered

Building maintenance, sorted by trade.

Each job goes to the trade it needs. Plumbing and electrical work goes to licensed plumbers and electricians.

  • Small repairs

    Doors that stick, loose fittings, patching, shelving and signs, cleared in one visit where we can.

  • Carpentry

    Door and frame repairs, counters, shelving, skirting and small layout changes.

  • Plumbing

    Blocked drains, leaking taps, running toilets and planned checks, by licensed plumbers.

  • Electrical

    Faults, lighting, power points and switchboard work, by licensed electricians.

  • Painting

    Touch-ups after repairs, and repaints between tenancies or after a fit-out.

  • Planned maintenance

    Lights, taps, drains, doors and safety switches checked on a schedule set for your site.

Already an Emera client?

Report a repair where you already check your cleaning.

You already get cleaning reports from our app. Repairs go in the same place. Your cleaners can log a problem they find, and you can see each job's status without chasing a contractor.

  • One contact. The person who runs your cleaning books the repair too.
  • One invoice. Trade jobs and cleaning are billed together.
  • Overdue jobs flagged. Our app lists any job that has passed its date, so it gets followed up.
  • Expiry warnings. Our app warns us 30 days before a tradesperson's licence or insurance runs out.

About facilities maintenance

Questions about facilities maintenance.

What site and property managers ask before handing us their repair list.

Ask us a question
What does facilities maintenance include?

Facilities maintenance at Emera covers the repairs and trade jobs that keep a commercial site working, including handyman jobs, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, painting and bollards.

It covers one-off repairs and planned maintenance, booked and tracked through one contact at Emera. Budgets, leases and whole-building facilities management stay with you.

Can one company look after our cleaning and maintenance, and why does that help?

Yes. Emera's crews do the cleaning, and licensed tradespeople we work with do the repairs and trade jobs. Emera books and manages both.

You get one contact, one induction and one record of the work. When a cleaner spots a leaking tap or a broken door closer, it goes in the same report, and we can book the fix.

Can you set up planned maintenance for our building?

Yes. Emera agrees a list of regular checks with you, such as lights, taps, drains, doors and safety switches, and books them on a schedule that suits your site.

Each visit is logged in our app with photos. Anything that needs fixing is priced and agreed with you before it's done, so you approve every cost.

How do we report a maintenance job and know when it's done?

Tell your Emera contact, call us or log the job in our app with a photo, and we book the right trade.

When the work is done, it's photographed in the app and you sign it off, and the report comes to you. Any job that passes its date shows on our overdue list until it's closed.

Are your tradespeople licensed and insured?

Yes. Each tradesperson Emera sends holds the licence or registration their trade needs in Victoria, and carries public liability insurance and WorkCover.

Our app holds every licence and certificate of currency, and warns us 30 days before one expires. Ask, and we'll send you copies before the job starts. See the checks behind everyone we send.

How do you price trade and maintenance jobs?

Emera prices each trade or maintenance job on what it involves, including labour, materials, access and the time of day the work is done. Small jobs can be priced from your photos, and bigger ones start with a site visit.

You get the scope and price in writing before any work starts. If we find more once we're on site, we stop and agree the extra with you before going on.
