Why Lima for FM & Commercial

We know what FM and commercial clients actually need from a contractor — and it is not a sales pitch. It is a team that responds, documents everything, works safely, and makes your life easier. Lima is CIS registered, fully insured with public liability and employers' liability cover, CSCS carded on site, and operates with a documented Health and Safety policy and GDPR-compliant data handling. We provide RAMS on request, maintain a clear paper trail on every job, and price transparently so there are no invoice surprises at month end. If you manage properties across Kent and South London and you need a reliable trade partner, we would like to talk.

  • Keeping a commercial property or managed portfolio in good condition requires more than reacting to problems it requires a structured approach. Lima Property Group delivers planned preventative maintenance programmes tailored to your asset and your budget. We work with facilities managers and property managers to schedule regular inspections, identify issues before they become costly, and carry out fabric maintenance works that keep your buildings performing year on year. From annual maintenance contracts to quarterly inspection visits, we take the administration burden off your desk and give you a single, reliable contractor you can call.

  • Lima delivers complete commercial fit-outs for offices, retail units, and business premises across Kent and South London. We manage the full scope from strip-out and structural alterations through to first fix, second fix, decoration, and final handover. We work to Cat A and Cat B specifications depending on your requirements, coordinating all trades and maintaining a clear programme throughout. Our approach is built around minimal disruption, transparent communication, and a finished product that reflects your brand and works for your team. Whether you're fitting out a new space or refreshing an existing one, Lima handles it end to end.

  • Commercial fit-out in retail and hospitality environments demands speed, precision, and an understanding of how the finished space needs to function. Lima has experience delivering fit-outs for retail units, restaurants, cafes, and hospitality venues where programme adherence and quality of finish are non-negotiable. We coordinate all trades in house, manage suppliers, and work around operational constraints including out-of-hours working where required to deliver on time without impacting your business.

  • Care environments present unique challenges. Works must be carried out with sensitivity to residents, strict health and safety controls, and a clear understanding of infection control requirements. Lima has experience working in occupied care home environments, carrying out refurbishment and maintenance works that comply with CQC environment standards and fire safety legislation. From bedroom and bathroom refurbishments to communal area upgrades, corridor flooring, and fire door compliance programmes, we deliver works that improve the environment for residents and satisfy the requirements of inspectors and commissioners.

  • High turnover residential accommodation requires a contractor who understands the importance of void windows and programme delivery. Lima works with operators and asset managers to carry out refurbishment and maintenance works within tight seasonal windows delivering rooms and units back to specification, on time, ready for occupation. We handle everything from full room refurbishments and bathroom upgrades to deep cleans, decoration, flooring replacement, and furniture installation. For serviced apartment operators, we also provide ongoing maintenance support to keep units performing to the standard your guests expect.

  • For property managers and investors running HMO portfolios, Lima provides a dedicated trade partner who understands the licensing standards, fire safety requirements, and amenity specifications that apply to your properties. We carry out works across multiple properties under a single point of management, coordinating programmes to minimise void periods and giving you consolidated reporting across your portfolio. Whether you need one property brought up to licensing standard or a rolling programme across an entire portfolio, Lima handles it with the same level of professionalism and accountability on every job.

  • Void properties cost money every day they sit empty. Lima works with property managers, landlords, and asset managers to turn void properties around as quickly as possible carrying out make safes, repairs, redecoration, flooring replacement, and full reinstatements to get units back on the market. For commercial leases, we also carry out dilapidations works at lease end, working from schedules of dilapidations to bring properties back to their required condition. Our documentation is thorough, our programmes are realistic, and our pricing is transparent everything you need to manage your asset efficiently.

  • Fire door compliance is a legal obligation and a life-safety issue. Lima carries out fire door inspection programmes, remedial works, and full replacements across commercial and residential managed buildings. All fire doors are installed to the manufacturer's specification and relevant British Standards, with full documentation provided on completion. For FM clients managing large portfolios or multi occupancy buildings, we can deliver a rolling inspection and remediation programme that keeps your fire door register current and your buildings compliant.

  • Lima carries out external maintenance and repair works to keep your building's envelope performing and looking professional. This includes external decorating and rendering, render repairs and repointing, flat roof repairs and inspections, gutter cleaning and replacement, and external joinery repairs. For managed commercial estates and multi unit residential blocks, we provide external fabric maintenance programmes that cover all elements of the building envelope under a single contract.
