There's Snow in them, there Hills & Crown FM are ready

You may or may not have heard as yet, but yes we can confirm its true, snow in the mountains and lots off it 300mm confirmed by friends that even managed to ski up there, yes ski on Monday.


We also had a great snow storm on Sunday almost a blizzard, all of which bowed's well for the coming season, and the word on the street from all the baba's (local for grammars) is that a heavy winter is coming. Tuesday early morning when taking Chantal to school the out side temperature was -2deg, and we had to put our wooly hats on!


In readiness for this and the coming winter season Crown FM has already put in place its winter season PPM (planned preventative maintainace) regimes and process, including water riser pressure management, and pipework freezing prevention processes that involves am/pm riser circulation regimes. We have placed our orders for grit and salt and agreed a general winter street cleaning schedule with the local road management company.

Apartments/Owners that subscribe to our IPM (apartment management) services are now part of our increased inspections cycle where we now inspect on a friday pm and again on the following monday am, this is in addition to the extreme weather event inspections. IPM clients water boilers and associated pipework are drained, only being brought into commission one day prior to an owners or clients visit and then again drained, post visit if there is no repeat visit / occupation with in the following 7 calendar days.

We are currently working with an ex-bulkenstroy electrical engineering operative that was responsible for the electrical installation in the complex and are working with him to set the trace heating system to work in order we protect the roofs better during this season.
