What to check
- assets and planned tasks in the PPM schedule.
- fault history and consequences.
- which defects need reactive attendance.
- how recurring faults feed back into the plan.
Compare the routes for scheduled upkeep and a fault that needs investigation through our maintenance options.
Plan the next decision
Use planned tasks for predictable care and a clear reporting route for faults. Repeated reactive work should trigger review of condition, task content or replacement.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.

Use the relevant commercial route, browse maintenance and contact the responsible business with the site-specific requirement.

See current official guidance. Apply it to the actual premises and recheck current requirements before relying on time-sensitive details.
Frequently asked questions
Can planned maintenance prevent every breakdown?
No. Planned tasks help manage condition and known requirements, while reactive work addresses faults that arise. Keep both routes in the building’s maintenance arrangements.
How can recurring repairs inform the plan?
Review the fault history and findings. They may show where investigation or a change to planned tasks is needed.
