Commercial Carpentry & Maintenance Across Melbourne

Building Fabric – Common Areas & External Envelope

Reactive repairs include:

• Walls and ceilings in corridors and stairwells
• Floor trip hazards, tile re-fixes, carpet tile patches, nosings and transitions
• Common doors, locks, and hardware in entries, fire stairs, and plant rooms
• Minor glazing make-safe works and frame adjustments
• Roof leak triage and storm damage coordination

Planned maintenance includes:

• Condition inspections of corridors, stairwells, and façades
• Water ingress checks
• External timber inspections where applicable

These works protect safety, appearance, and long-term asset value.

Common Amenities & Drainage

We support the upkeep of shared amenities to prevent disruptions and complaints:

• Repairs to common toilets and fixtures
• Clearing stormwater grates, pits, and floor drains
• First-response support for hot water plant issues and contractor coordination

Electrical & Lighting (Licensed Works Coordinated)

For common areas, we coordinate and manage:

• Lighting patrols and lamp, sensor, or driver replacement
• Fault response for outages and tripping
• Visual switchboard checks
• Minor power point works where contracted

All electrical works are completed or overseen by licensed trades.

Mechanical Services (Where Installed)

Where mechanical systems are present, we assist with:

• Ventilation and exhaust fan maintenance
• Carpark ventilation coordination
• HVAC support in lobbies and corridors, including basic diagnostics

Specialist systems are managed in line with strata and FM requirements.

Lifts & Access Equipment Coordination

Lift servicing is typically handled by specialist contractors. Our role is to:

• Coordinate call-outs and shutdowns
• Manage contractor access
• Track defects and close-out reporting

This reduces admin load for strata managers and keeps residents informed.

To simplify contractor management, strata buildings often bundle multiple services. We coordinate or support:

Cleaning & Presentation

• Lobbies, corridors, stairwells, lifts, bin rooms
• External and common glazing (access-dependent)
• Pressure washing of entries, paths, and carparks

Waste Management

• Bin room hygiene and chute cleaning
• Hard waste coordination
• Compactor and baler servicing coordination

Grounds & External Areas

• Landscaping and gardening coordination
• Irrigation and tree works
• Carpark sweeping, pothole repairs, and line marking touch-ups

Pest Management

• Integrated pest management coordination
• Monitoring and treatment via licensed providers

Healthcare environments demand more than standard maintenance. Every task must support patient safety, infection control, and uninterrupted clinical operations. At Fixit Carpentry, we deliver structured carpentry and maintenance support for medical and healthcare facilities where risk, hygiene, and compliance are non-negotiable.

We work within live clinical environments with controlled methods, clear approvals, and strict attention to detail – so your facility remains safe, functional, and compliant at all times.

Building Fabric – Patient, Staff & Public Areas

We maintain and repair internal building elements using dust-controlled and low-disruption methods suitable for clinical settings. This includes patching walls, repairing partitions, and replacing ceiling tiles or grids without compromising nearby clinical areas.

High-traffic damage caused by beds, trolleys, and equipment is addressed promptly. We rectify floor trip hazards, replace transition strips, repair stair nosings, and carry out wet-area repairs to reduce slip and injury risks.

Doors, locks, and hardware are maintained to ensure privacy, security, and safe egress – including medication rooms, secure areas, and emergency exit hardware. Where glazing is damaged, we arrange make-safe works and coordinate specialist repairs when required.

Mechanical (HVAC) – Comfort, Safety & Infection Control

Mechanical performance plays a critical role in patient comfort and infection prevention. We support reactive repairs and planned checks across filters, belts, drains, bearings, and controls, responding promptly to alarms and faults.

In critical areas, works are approached with care to maintain required airflow direction, pressure relationships, and filtration performance. Where contamination risks exist, we coordinate duct and coil cleaning or remediation using appropriate containment methods.

Electrical & Lighting (Licensed Works)

Lighting and electrical faults are managed with priority in clinical environments. We handle driver and ballast replacements, sensor controls, and urgent fault response on critical circuits.

Visual switchboard inspections, thermal scanning add-ons, and first-response coordination for UPS or generator issues are provided where required, with OEM engagement managed efficiently to avoid downtime.

Hydraulics, Plumbing & Drainage

Leaks, blockages, and fixture failures are addressed quickly to prevent service disruption and hygiene risks. We manage valve replacements, backflow coordination (site-dependent), and drainage maintenance — including odour and biofilm control in clinical and sterile areas.

Hot water systems are supported in line with site policy and state requirements, including tempering valve coordination where applicable.

Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS)

Where engaged, we coordinate repairs and alterations to medical gas systems such as oxygen, medical air, suction, and nitrous oxide. All works are supported by testing, commissioning, and documentation aligned with the relevant Australian standards.

Sterile Services & Reprocessing Areas (CSSD)

Maintenance within CSSD and sterilising rooms prioritises contamination control and workflow continuity. We maintain surfaces, airflows, sinks, and pass-through interfaces that support safe reprocessing.

Defects are managed with urgency to protect sterilisation processes and avoid service interruptions.

Clinical Water Safety & Legionella Programs

Where contracted, we support clinical water safety programs in coordination with specialist providers. This includes assisting with cooling tower and warm-water risk controls, sampling access, remediation actions, and compliance reporting in line with site policy and AS/NZS standards.

Fire Protection & Compliance Records

We support routine inspection and testing programs for fire systems and equipment, including alarms, sprinklers, hydrants, hose reels, extinguishers, and smoke control interfaces.

Defects are tracked, impairments are managed correctly, and compliance documentation is maintained to support audits and accreditation requirements.

Safe Access & Egress

Exit paths, doors, and egress hardware are maintained in working order at all times. We ensure access routes remain clear, well-lit, and compliant with NCC requirements applicable to healthcare buildings.

Every task is planned with infection risk in mind. We apply structured planning approaches similar to ICRA for works near clinical areas, ensuring risks are identified and controlled before work begins.

Dust containment, barriers, negative air units, and HEPA filtration are used where required. Clean and dirty pathways are clearly managed, and post-work cleaning validation is completed before handover – especially near vulnerable or immunocompromised patients.
