Galvanised pipes in pre-1980 blocks aren't aging — they're failing.

Buildings constructed before the 1980 Buildings Ordinance update were plumbed with galvanised steel. After four decades of Hong Kong's mineral-heavy water supply, those pipes have corroded from the inside out. What looks like a slow drip under a kitchen cabinet is usually the first sign of a soil stack under pressure. By the time rust staining appears on the ceiling below, the joint has been weeping for months.

Under Cap 123 of the Buildings Ordinance, landlords are liable for water damage caused by pipes in common areas — even if the failure originates inside a private unit. We document every job with time-stamped photographs.

A rewired fuse box isn't an upgrade. It's the difference between a certificate and an insurance void.

Hong Kong adopted the IEC 60446 wiring colour code in 2009. Buildings wired before that date use the old British standard — brown for neutral, blue for live — the reverse of what every modern electrician expects. A landlord who hired an unlicensed worker to extend a circuit in 2015 may have introduced live-on-neutral wiring without knowing it. We test every circuit before we touch it and issue a signed Electrical Installation Certificate on completion.

EMSD inspectors can issue a Form WR2 requiring full rewiring within 21 days. If you've received one, or suspect your building's wiring hasn't been inspected since handover, call us before the notice arrives.

Most landlords don't know their fire doors are non-compliant until they receive the FSD notice.

Under the Fire Services Ordinance Cap 95, every fire door in a residential building must close completely under its own spring tension, latch positively, and maintain a minimum 30-minute integrity rating. A door that drags on the floor, stays open more than a crack, or has a worn latch mechanism fails all three tests. In Kowloon walk-ups built in the 1960s and 70s, we find non-compliant doors in roughly 70% of first inspections — not through negligence, but because the frames have shifted over sixty years.

FSD can issue a Fire Hazard Abatement Notice under Cap 95 Section 6 requiring rectification within 14 days. The management company is responsible, not the individual unit owner. We carry door closers, intumescent strips, and latch sets on every vehicle.

One Call. Fully Covered.

Stop managing thirty buildings with a notebook and a prayer.

Every tradesman we send carries current registration, public liability insurance, and a signed inspection sheet. Your MCMC compliance officer will have nothing to query.
