About Pdp Property Services Ltd
Delivering safe, compliant, and sustainable building solutions for the public sector since 2007.
Who We Are
Established in 2007 by our director Michael Acton, PDP Property Services Ltd has built a strong reputation for reliability, quality, and professionalism in delivering refurbishment, reactive maintenance, and building improvement services exclusively to public-sector clients.
Operating from our base at White Cross Business Park in Lancaster, we work across the North West and beyond, supporting a wide range of organisations within education, local government, emergency services, and community facilities.
Our experienced team brings together skilled tradespeople, qualified project managers, and dedicated office staff — all committed to ensuring that every project is delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard of workmanship. From minor maintenance works to large-scale refurbishments, we apply the same attention to detail, compliance, and customer care.
At PDP, we understand the unique demands of public-sector environments — including the importance of safety, communication, and minimal disruption. We plan every project carefully, ensuring that works are completed in line with regulations, timescales, and client expectations.
We are driven by our commitment to safety, quality, and sustainability, ensuring that each project not only meets immediate needs but also provides long-term value, efficiency, and compliance for our public-sector clients.
How We Work
At PDP Property Services Ltd, we combine experience, clear communication, and hands-on management to deliver every project safely, efficiently, and to the highest professional standards.
Each project is led by an experienced Project Manager, supported by a proactive office team who coordinate planning, scheduling, and client communication. This structure ensures that all works are fully documented, risk assessed, and delivered in accordance with the latest health and safety regulations.
Managing Director Michael Acton provides strategic oversight across all projects, ensuring consistent quality, compliance, and accountability at every stage. His leadership keeps operations aligned with PDP’s values of professionalism, transparency, and client satisfaction.
All members of our workforce are fully vetted and hold enhanced DBS checks, giving our clients full confidence in our ability to work within schools, community facilities, and other sensitive environments. Every team member receives comprehensive induction and ongoing training to maintain our high standards and uphold current legislation.
We believe in open, honest communication — from initial consultation through to completion. By maintaining close collaboration with clients, consultants, and suppliers, we ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and without compromise to safety or quality.
Our Commitment To Safety
The safety of our workforce, clients, and the public is at the centre of everything we do.
At PDP Property Services Ltd, we maintain a proactive approach to health and safety, ensuring that every aspect of our operations is carefully planned, monitored, and continuously improved.
We are proud to hold CHAS Elite and Once For All SSIP accreditations, demonstrating our compliance with the highest industry standards. These certifications reflect our commitment to managing risk effectively, promoting safe working practices, and maintaining a culture of accountability across all levels of the business.
Our management team is trained to IOSH Managing Safely and SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) standards, providing strong on-site leadership and a clear understanding of health and safety responsibilities. Regular training ensures that all supervisors and operatives remain up to date with the latest regulations and best practices, including Asbestos Awareness and IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) certification for the safe operation of access equipment.
Every project begins with detailed risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) to identify and control potential hazards before work begins. Daily briefings, site inspections, and Toolbox Talks ensure that safety remains an active, shared responsibility for everyone involved.
By combining structured procedures with a genuine safety-first culture, we are able to deliver projects confidently — protecting our workforce, our clients, and the communities we support.
Quality & Standards
We operate with a structured Quality Management System, ensuring that all works are planned, monitored, and reviewed against clear benchmarks for safety, performance, and efficiency. Regular inspections and sign-offs by senior management help maintain full control of quality at every stage.
All members of our team are qualified, experienced, and committed to achieving consistent results across multiple workstreams — from refurbishment and maintenance to specialist improvement works. Where
required, we engage accredited subcontractors who meet our exacting standards for competence, reliability, and compliance.
We believe that clear communication and meticulous documentation are essential to quality delivery. Every project includes detailed specifications, photographic records, and completion reports to provide full
transparency for our clients.
Through consistent standards and professional oversight, we ensure every project is completed to a high level of quality and compliance.
