In workforce camps, industrial facilities and corporate accommodations, furniture isn’t just décor — it supports everyday comfort, morale and productivity. At Reem Al Oula, we believe strong service starts with well-maintained spaces. Whether you manage a camp dining hall, a worker accommodation block or a corporate lounge, the tips below will help you extend the life of your furniture and maintain a professional appearance.

1. Regular Inspection & Cleaning

Working in operational environments can introduce wear, stains and damage quickly.

  • Use soft cloths and appropriate cleaning formulations to remove grime and spills promptly.
  • Address visible damage (scratches, dents, loose parts) early to prevent escalation.
  • Ensure cleaning tasks are scheduled as part of your facility maintenance routine.

2. Tighten Loose Joints & Hardware

Furniture used in high-use environments (dining halls, accommodation rooms, lounges) needs regular maintenance.

  • Inspect and tighten screws, bolts, hinges and joints — failing hardware causes bigger damage later.
  • For chairs or tables, if legs wobble or frames creak, disassemble carefully, apply appropriate wood glue, clamp until set and re-finish.
  • Set a periodic audit to identify furniture needing repair or replacement.

3. Surface Repair & Refinishing

A professional look matters — worn or damaged surfaces affect perception of your services.

  • Scratches and minor gouges can be filled with compatible wood-fillers, sanded and refinished for a clean appearance.Fresh Take Furnishings

  • For veneer-faced furniture (common in accommodation and corporate areas), regluing or replacing damaged veneer sheets avoids ugly peeling.

  • Choose finishes suitable for high-use environments (durable laminates, protective coatings) to reduce wear and maintenance.

4. Align Maintenance With Safety & Hygiene Standards

Our operations at Reem Al Oula follow strict hygiene and operational standards — your furniture maintenance can too.

  • Ensure all cleaning materials, adhesives and finishes meet your site’s safety, fire and chemical compliance requirements.
  • Keep maintenance logs for audits and tracking equipment life-cycles.
  • Training staff and contractors in safe repair procedures reduces risk of damage or injury.

5. Inventory & Lifecycle Management

In a camp or facility environment, furniture upkeep is part of wider asset management.

  • Use a simple tracking system: log usage hours, repair history, replacement schedule.
  • Prioritise replacements when repair costs exceed 60-70% of replacement value.
  • Maintain a budget line for furniture upkeep to avoid sudden large replacements disrupting operations.

Final Word

At Reem Al Oula, we know that well-managed accommodation and facility spaces support happier, more productive communities. Furniture may not be glamorous — but when it’s well-installed, well-maintained and looks professional, it becomes part of the comfort, safety and quality experience we deliver every day.
If you manage workforce facilities, camps or corporate offices, incorporating furniture repair and maintenance into your wider service plan makes a real difference — to satisfaction, cost-efficiency and longevity of your environment.
