Planned Preventative Maintenance in St Albans
We deliver planned preventative maintenance to businesses and landlords in St Albans, Hertfordshire, with agreed response times and a written specification.
What buildings in St Albans need
Commercial property in St Albans includes high-street shops and offices above, industrial estates and trade counters and managed residential blocks and HMOs. Each has different hours, plant and statutory duties, so the scope is set after we have walked the site.
For St Albans sites, the first PPM visit usually finds overdue statutory items, so the opening months focus on bringing everything back into date.
What planned preventative maintenance covers
Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) is a scheduled programme of inspections, servicing and statutory tests for a building's plant and systems, carried out before things fail. We build the PPM calendar from an asset register, visit on a fixed cycle and hand back certificates and reports after every visit.
- Boilers, pumps, air handling, extract and controls
- Defect reports with prioritised, priced remedials
- Site survey and asset register for every serviceable item
- Statutory tests booked and certificated on time
