24/7 Emergency Facilities Support

Rapid Response for Building Critical Failures

In the commercial world, downtime costs money. A burst pipe in a server room, a total power failure in a retail unit, or a smashed storefront window isn't just an inconvenience—it is a threat to your revenue, your safety, and your brand reputation.

Force8 provides a dedicated 24/7 Emergency Facilities Support service across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire. We bridge the gap between security and maintenance, offering a single point of contact for urgent building issues. Whether it is 2:00 PM or 2:00 AM, our responsive teams are on standby to stabilize the situation, mitigate damage, and restore functionality.

What Constitutes a "Facilities Emergency"?

We categorize emergencies as any event that poses an immediate risk to health, safety, security, or business continuity. Our rapid response teams are equipped to handle:

1. Water & Drainage Emergencies

Water damage is one of the fastest ways to devalue a property. We respond immediately to:

• Burst Pipes & Leaks: Isolating water supplies and repairing ruptures to prevent structural damage.
• Blocked Drains: Clearing backed-up sewage or drainage systems that pose health hazards.
• Flooding: rapid water extraction and drying services following storms or internal failures.

2. Electrical & Power Failures

Loss of power halts operations and compromises security systems. Our qualified electricians respond to:

• Tripped circuits and fuse board failures.
• Exposed wiring or sparking outlets.
• Total site blackouts (including generator deployment if necessary).

3. Security Breaches & Structural Damage

Often linked with our security services, we address physical damage caused by break-ins, vehicle impacts, or severe weather:

• Emergency Boarding Up: Securing broken windows and doors.
• Locksmith Services: Re-securing compromised entry points.
• Storm Damage: Making safe loose roofing, signage, or fencing that poses a public danger.

The Force8 Response Protocol

Speed and communication are the pillars of our emergency service.

1. Triage: Your call is answered by our 24/7 control room. We assess the severity and dispatch the correct trade (plumber, electrician, or general maintenance).
2. Containment: The priority on arrival is "Making Safe." We stop the leak, kill the power, or board the window to prevent further damage or injury.
3. Resolution: Where possible, a permanent fix is applied immediately. If specialized parts are needed, we provide a temporary robust solution and schedule the permanent repair for the next business day.
4. Reporting: You receive a full incident report, including photos of the damage and the repair, essential for insurance claims.
