What we do

Trades Teams

The Trades Maintenance Unit carries out repairs and maintenance to buildings throughout the University.

Multi-disciplinary teams are based in four locations:

All fault reporting and requests for repairs and maintenance should be made through EBIS, the on-line fault reporting system.

To find the fault reporting representative for your building, follow this link and choose "faults" from the "Contact type" drop-down box.

Each Trades Team is led by a Maintenance Manager and managed by a Team Leader, supported by Assistant Team Leaders.

Any enquiries should be directed to the Trades Team Leader in the first instance.
