New name and new services for SitexOrbis

Four new property protection services are being launched by SitexOrbis, the 24/7 property protection specialist that has just changed its name from Orbis.

One-key-for-all-locks

Key managing is dramatically transformed with one-key-for-all-locks technology at the centre of a new service called eMAKS, Electronically Managed Access Key Systems, which is available exclusively from SitexOrbis. The intelligent key can be remotely programmed to operate in a number of properties for certain periods, or deprogrammed if the key is lost with one call to the SitexOrbis response centre by authorised personnel. The rental package also includes locks, 24/7 monitoring, eMAKS technicians and on-line access reports.

Mould eradication

A new consultative service from SitexOrbis provides landlords with long-term protection from the reappearance of mould – rated as a category one risk alongside asbestos in the Housing Health and Rating System. As well as removing visible mould, the three-stage treatment destroys roots beneath the surface and spores to stop infections spreading. The process is finished with a fungicidal paint.

Infection control

In another exclusive SitexOrbis has secured the rights to a treatment that uses a fogging process to vaporise disinfectant Activ8 that is capable of killing up to 99.9% of known viruses in a room within minutes. Flu germs, Norovirus, SARS, MRSA, C difficile can all be killed by the vapour which permeates the air and reaches even difficult to get at surfaces and crevices. Rooms can be ready to use again in an hour.

Secured by Design Communal Doors

A new partnership arrangement makes PAS23/24 Secured by Design communal entrance doors made by Newton available through SitexOrbis. Police approved designs are aesthetically pleasing and suitable for heavy use.

Core empty property security, monitoring and cleaning services continue to do well at SitexOrbis along with lone worker protection, anti-social behaviour and repair support lines for tenants. In 2008-09 sales grew by 15% compared with the previous year. The company was rated number one in an independent customer satisfaction survey in 2008.
