Aged Care Facility Repairs & Maintenance

Professional Building Maintenance for Residential Care & Retirement Facilities Across New Zealand

Aged care facilities operate in one of the most sensitive environments in the property sector. Residents are vulnerable. Families expect high standards. Operators must meet compliance requirements while maintaining a safe, dignified and well-presented environment.

Refurb Plus provides specialised repairs and maintenance services for aged care facilities and retirement villages across New Zealand. We understand that this is not simply commercial property maintenance. It is someone’s home.

Why Aged Care Maintenance Requires a Specialist Approach

Aged care environments involve:
• Mobility aids and fall-risk management
• Infection control considerations
• Strict health and safety protocols
• Ongoing compliance obligations
• Live-in residents during works
• Reputation-sensitive environments

Maintenance must be carried out carefully, efficiently and respectfully.

Our team of professionals at Refurb Plus coordinate closely with facility managers to minimise disruption and prioritise resident wellbeing.

Preventative Maintenance Programs

Proactive maintenance reduces emergency callouts, protects compliance and extends asset life.

We work with aged care operators to develop structured maintenance plans that may include:
• Routine building inspections
• Scheduled internal repairs
• Exterior maintenance
• Accessibility compliance checks
• Minor refurbishment works
• Ongoing defect management

Planned maintenance protects residents, reduces liability exposure and supports regulatory compliance.

We provide:
• Room refresh upgrades
• Bathroom modernisation
• Accessibility upgrades
• Communal area refurbishments
• Exterior building improvements
• Compliance-driven modifications

All works are carefully staged to minimise noise, dust and disruption to residents.
