Winter has a habit of exposing building defects that were much easier to deal with a few months earlier.

Autumn is a good opportunity for property managers, businesses and building owners to check roofs, gutters, drainage, masonry, windows, doors and other external areas before colder and wetter weather arrives.

Last night the NTS team had the pleasure of attending The People's Stage at the iconic Blackpool Opera House, a fantastic evening celebrating Blackpool Council's bid to become UK City of Culture 2029.

A huge well done to everyone involved in organising such a brilliant free event. From performances by KT Tunstall, Jack Savoretti, Rae Morris, Little Boots and the Hallé Orchestra, the evening showcased the incredible talent, ambition and community spirit that Blackpool has to offer.

As a business proudly based in Blackpool, we're fully behind the town's City of Culture 2029 bid. Investing in culture, creativity and community doesn't just benefit residents, it strengthens our local economy, supports businesses and helps showcase everything that makes Blackpool such a special place.

After months of planning, development and listening to the challenges our commercial clients face, we're incredibly excited to officially launch our new service NTS Priority+.

We've always believed that great maintenance is about more than simply fixing problems. It's about being there when you need us most, responding quickly and helping businesses protect their properties before small issues become costly ones.

That's exactly why we created NTS Priority+.

Designed specifically for hotels, property management companies and commercial property owners, Priority+ gives our members access to:

🔶 Priority Response for reactive maintenance

🔶 Included Maintenance Credits for minor repairs and emergency make-safe works

🔶 Property Health Checks to help identify issues early

🔶 Dedicated Account Management

🔶 Exclusive discounts on planned repairs and maintenance

Whether you manage a single commercial property or an entire portfolio, Priority+ has been built to provide a smarter, more proactive approach to property maintenance.

This launch marks an exciting new chapter for NTS, and we'd like to thank everyone who has supported us on the journey so far. We're looking forward to helping even more businesses across Lancashire and the North West keep their properties safe, compliant and operating at their best.
