We work with our clients to ensure they have compliant systems in place.

We maintain thousands of sites for lots of household names, many of them national retailers in high street and out of town locations across the four corners of England, Scotland Wales and Ireland.

In addition to fire alarms, our engineers are trained and certified to work on portable extinguishers and emergency lighting. Having a multi-disciplined team of UK wide engineers each able to maintain fire alarms, portable extinguishers and emergency lighting on the same visit is particularly popular with our national retail customers. The cost savings realised through only having to send one engineer to site together with the benefits this brings in site familiarity makes Clymac a strong choice as a maintenance partner.

In order to fulfil our contracts and the sometimes tough KPI’s associated with retailers we have two different types of engineers with coverage across the UK; maintenance and ‘on demand’ (breakdown) engineers. This means our maintenance engineers can focus on delivering the Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) visits on time, while our on demand engineers are available to respond quickly to fault call-outs when needed. A structure giving PPM and breakdown visits equal focus and importance makes for a reliable and consistent customer service.

All our vehicles are fitted with trackers so we are able to find the closest engineer to you when needed. Our engineers also carry PDAs so once the visit worksheet is completed electronically it is automatically emailed immediately to the client.

Our engineers are not salesmen and they don’t have sales targets to meet, however if they identify a fault or a non-compliance they will certainly bring it to your attention.

Having good UK coverage and well trained engineers is only part of the story, to be successful with large multisite contracts the administration support has to be able to cope with the sheer volume of activity. At Clymac all our service admin is centralised at our HQ in Loughborough and we are well drilled on managing these contracts. We have dedicated staff to deal with all the different aspects, these include; client portal interface, scheduling PPMs visits, assessing faults and mustering engineers to site, repairs estimators, small works estimators and overall account managers.

National engineering coverage and a robust service support backbone makes us an ideal choice for national accounts; large enough to cope but not too large to be complacent.

Queens Medical Centre (QMC) Nottingham

Part of the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, the Queens Medical Centre is one of the largest hospitals in the UK. Residing on a 40-acre site, the QMC was the first purpose-built teaching hospital in the UK with over 1,300 beds and more than 6,000 staff.

Clymac were approached by the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham to advise and bid for the expansion of the site-wide fire detection and alarm system to provide an L2 coverage throughout the hospital. Although the site consists of four blocks, QMC is a single structure. The client therefore needed a scalable system that would not only support the needs of the individual blocks but also satisfy the needs of the overall site.

The University of Nottingham

The University of Nottingham is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. With over 45,000 students and 7,000 staff, the University of Nottingham has a number of campuses in and around Nottingham with approximately 150 buildings. Its main campus on University Park is set in 330 acres around its lake and clock tower with extensive parkland greenery.

The University work with Clymac to ensure its extensive fire and safety system is regularly monitored and maintained, ensuring they remain compliant at all times.

Milton Keynes Waste Recovery Park

Milton Keynes Waste Recovery Park brings together state-of-the-art mechanical treatment and heat energy recovery technologies to turn waste into energy. ‘Black Sack’ Waste which had previously been landfilled is used to create enough energy to power the equivalent of 11,000 homes (and in turn reduce landfill to around 3% and provide Milton Keynes Council with a saving on its waste management bill over the coming years).

Clymac were selected to design and install the fire and security systems for this complex and highly challenging project.
