How We Tailor Facilities Maintenance to Different Sectors at ARH Group

At ARH Group, we know that facilities maintenance is never a one-size-fits-all solution. Every sector has its own challenges, compliance requirements, and operational priorities, and our job is to make sure our services fit seamlessly into those environments. That’s why we take a tailored approach, adapting our expertise to meet the unique needs of each industry we serve.

For healthcare, compliance is everything. Hospitals, clinics, and care facilities operate under strict regulations such as CQC, HTM, and HBN standards. Our teams are trained to deliver maintenance that supports patient safety and clinical efficiency, from fire safety systems and emergency lighting to HVAC and electrical compliance. We schedule works to minimise disruption to critical services and provide detailed reporting through our CAFM platform, giving healthcare providers full visibility and peace of mind.

Education brings a different set of priorities. Schools and colleges need safe, comfortable environments for learning, but budgets and term-time schedules often dictate how and when work can be carried out. We automate planned maintenance for key assets like heating, lighting, and fire alarms, ensuring compliance without interrupting lessons. Our reactive teams are available 24/7 for emergencies, and we work flexibly during holidays to complete larger projects with minimal impact.

Retail environments demand speed and discretion. A store that can’t trade loses revenue and risks damaging its reputation. That’s why our retail clients rely on us for rapid response and high first-fix rates. Whether it’s a refrigeration fault, a lighting issue, or a plumbing emergency, our engineers are dispatched quickly using GPS tracking and equipped to resolve most problems on the first visit. We also provide planned maintenance for HVAC, fire safety, and security systems, scheduled outside peak trading hours to keep operations running smoothly.

Manufacturing and industrial sites require robust maintenance strategies to prevent costly downtime. We deliver comprehensive PPM programmes for electrical systems, machinery, and safety-critical assets, supported by reactive cover for unexpected failures. Our engineers understand the operational flow of these environments and work to keep production lines moving while maintaining compliance with health and safety standards.

Across all sectors, our approach is built on flexibility, expertise, and technology. Our CAFM system gives clients real-time access to job updates, compliance documentation, and asset performance data, making maintenance transparent and easy to manage. Combined with our nationwide network of multi-skilled engineers and 24/7 helpdesk, this ensures we can adapt to any challenge, in any environment.

At ARH Group, tailoring facilities maintenance isn’t just about meeting requirements, it’s about understanding the pressures and priorities of each sector and delivering solutions that make life easier for our clients. Whatever your industry, we’re here to keep your buildings safe, compliant, and performing at our best.
