Typical maintenance activities
- Coordinate equipment servicing, cleaning and adjustment tasks.
- Inspect relevant components for deterioration and defects.
- Review planned fabric upkeep and seasonal requirements.
- Record findings against the correct site and asset.
- Raise remedial work and changes to the maintenance baseline.
A practical commercial maintenance schedule names the task, the asset or area and the record expected after the visit. Examples to discuss for your premises include:
- Roof and rainwater: roof inspections and leak detection and attention to gutters and downpipes, with the areas, access and findings recorded.
- Heating: commercial boiler servicing, linked to the equipment reference, available service history and operating requirements.
- Lighting: commercial lighting work for identified areas or fittings, with planned tasks distinguished from repairs needing separate approval.
- Water and washrooms: commercial plumbing tasks for identified taps, toilets or pipework, with affected areas and access requirements defined.
- Building fabric: joinery and carpentry for specified doors, frames, trims or storage, with condition and the proposed work described.
These examples are task choices, not a standard package for every building. Agree the equipment or property requirements, task scope and visit frequency for each item. Keep the basis of the frequency with the schedule, and review it when use, condition or equipment changes.
