Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) in London

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) in London

Plumb London provides tailored planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contracts for commercial premises, managing agents and landlords across London. As a trusted property specialist with over 35 years’ trading history as a family-run London business, we maintain systems on a planned schedule instead of waiting for them to fail, servicing, inspecting and documenting the heating, plumbing, drainage, air-conditioning and electrical systems that keep your buildings running, so faults are caught early, compliance is maintained, and costs are predictable. One contract, one accountable contractor, across every discipline.

Planned preventative maintenance is the scheduled servicing and inspection of a building’s mechanical systems, carried out proactively to prevent breakdowns rather than reacting to them after they happen. For a commercial property, the difference is measured in uptime, budget control and risk: a serviced system fails predictably and rarely, an unmaintained one fails without warning, often at the worst possible moment and at emergency rates.

  • Scheduled servicing across heating, plumbing, drainage, air-conditioning and electrical systems, on a frequency matched to each asset
  • Compliance servicing and certification for the systems we maintain, with the documentation your tenants, insurers and auditors require
  • Planned inspections and condition reporting, so you know the state of your building’s systems before problems arise
  • Priority response for contract clients when something does need attention between scheduled visits
  • Asset-specific schedules built around your building, its systems and their age, not a generic checklist
  • A single point of contact across multiple trades, with consistent standards and retained site knowledge

Our PPM contracts are built for managing agents, commercial landlords, facilities managers and the owners of multi-tenanted and communal buildings, anyone responsible for keeping a property’s systems compliant, operational and well-documented across a portfolio. Whether it’s a single office or a managed block, a contract scales to the building.

For any commercial property, the cost of a reactive emergency repair after a full system failure, combined with downtime, disruption to occupants and, in managed buildings, the risk of tenant disputes, almost always exceeds the cost of planned, preventative maintenance. PPM converts unpredictable emergencies into predictable, budgetable servicing, extends the working life of expensive plant, protects the asset, and produces the compliance trail that protects you in front of insurers and tenants. It’s the difference between managing your buildings and being managed by them.

Most commercial properties rely on several systems, heating and hot water, plumbing, drainage, air-conditioning, electrical, and the usual approach is a different contractor for each, with the coordination falling to you. Plumb London maintains all of these under a single PPM contract: fewer suppliers to manage, consistent standards across the building, retained knowledge of your site from visit to visit, and one number to call when something needs attention.

You can read more about the individual disciplines we maintain on our heating, drainage, electrical and air-conditioning service pages.

The systems we maintain carry regulatory obligations, gas safety, refrigerant handling under F-Gas, and drainage and waste compliance among them. Our PPM contracts include the servicing and certification needed to keep you compliant for the systems we look after, with clear written records you can hand to tenants, insurers or auditors without scrambling for paperwork.

Examples of our commercial work

PPM clients rely on the same methodical, evidence-led approach we bring to every commercial job. A few examples:

A twin-boiler plant room upgrade for Age UK Enfield, where we replaced a single point of failure with a fully redundant commercial heating system for a charity-run day-care centre, including the multi-option procurement process their governance required.

A commercial air-conditioning replacement for Sunnamusk London in Whitechapel, delivered with full RAMS and TAPS documentation and minimal disruption to a working retail premises.

A commercial air-conditioning service and diagnostic investigation in De Beauvoir, where we serviced a four-unit Mitsubishi Electric system and ran a controlled, F-Gas-compliant condenser diagnostic across two phases.

A complex drainage investigation for a managing agent in Hackney, resolved over a staged investigation including CCTV survey, jetting and coordination with Thames Water.

A landlord boiler replacement and heating upgrade in Fulham, delivered ahead of a tenancy deadline with a Gas Safety Certificate and EICR handled as one coordinated engagement, exactly the kind of compliance-led work landlords and letting agents rely on us for.

A failed EICR and plumbing refurbishment for a remote landlord in South Lambeth, coordinating a new 18th Edition consumer unit alongside plumbing repairs in a single visit, for a client managing the property entirely from overseas. This is also our clearest example yet of electrical works handled under the same coordinated approach as our other disciplines.

Frequently Asked Questions

A PPM contract sets out a planned schedule of servicing and inspection across the systems in your building, typically heating, plumbing, drainage, air-conditioning and electrical systems, together with the compliance certification those systems require and priority support between visits. The exact scope and frequency are tailored to your building and its assets.

Pricing depends on the building, the systems covered and the visit frequency, so each contract is quoted following a site assessment rather than from a fixed list. The aim is a predictable, budgetable cost that replaces unpredictable emergency spend.

Yes, that’s the point of our approach. Heating, plumbing, drainage, air-conditioning and electrical systems can all sit under a single PPM contract, giving you one accountable contractor and consistent standards across the building rather than several suppliers to coordinate.

Yes. We begin with a survey to establish the condition and compliance status of the existing systems, then build a maintenance schedule from there, so you have a clear baseline before the contract begins.
