ADS Group covers Galway city and county on maintenance contracts carrying fire detection, emergency lighting, fire fighting equipment, intruder alarms and CCTV under one agreement, one renewal date and one certificate pack. We hold over 1,300 active contracts nationally. In Galway the most common reason a building needs us is a handover: a new managing agent, a new owner or a new facilities manager inheriting records that do not add up.
When a building changes hands or changes agent, the fire safety records are the documents least likely to transfer intact. The new holder inherits a building with no commissioning file, no service history and a certificate of unknown provenance. Rebuilding that baseline is the first job, and it is a documentation job before it is an engineering one.
In a multi-tenant business park the landlord's system and the tenant's fit-out are separate scopes with separate certificates. Tenants frequently assume the landlord covers everything inside their unit. The contract should name exactly which devices and which areas it covers.
Buildings that fill and empty on a predictable cycle should have their heavy work scheduled into the gap. A contract that ignores the cycle produces visits at the worst possible time and quietly turns into deferred maintenance.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the Maintenance & Compliance page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Galway page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
