I see your problem as contractual, but the issue happens to relate to DDA.
To establish the obligations you should check the terms of your lease and also what is covered by the service charges. The lease etc. will define the terms. The terms stand regardless of whether these are actually carried out by the landlord or the agent.
Although the contract is unlikely to specify how quickly items should be repaired, the length of time is certinaly not 'reasonable'.
At times it seems difficult to obtain action - maybe a strongly worded letter (detailing the background and required action) stating that you will refer the matter to your legal department/solictors if the matter is not resolved within a specified time.

This article has been very provocative and has prompted comment from a number of staff who have read this article.
Quite rightly, the workplace must be kept clean both generally and for individuals working at their desks. I like to add that often it is virtually impossible for cleaners to obtain access to the desk surface due to huge amount of papers etc. being left lying around.
If a clear desk policy is implemented and actually followed by staff, a general cleaning contract should be sufficient to ensure a clean working environment.
(This also provides an added bonus of information confidentiality and security where an organisation may be vulnerable under the DPA).

We are currently looking at creating a University Catering contract (pro forma).
Purchasing and myself are keen to establish if outline/pro forma contracts are available either on the web, or that could be purchased to assist us in this task? We would still need to adjust this contract to suit our needs.
Can you point us in the right direction?
Thank you.
