What is planned preventatative maintenance (PPM)?
Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) refers to regularly scheduled upkeep plans that aim to avoid commercial property damage. Regular maintenance is important to ensure your space remains in good condition and appearance while operating efficiently. Failure to utilise this practice may lead to issues that endanger occupiers.
Who arranges a PPM report?
It is the duty of the landlord to appoint the firm that will carry out this service. The PPM report will then be completed by a RICS-accredited surveyor who will identify repair needs, estimate costs and provide accurate timeframes.

Examples of planned preventative maintenance
There are many elements to consider when you are creating a PPM schedule. Some examples include:
Roof inspections
Identify potential issues like leaks, damaged tiles or blocked gutters and complete repairs before they escalate.
Window and door checks
Making sure your doors and windows are functioning properly can help improve your building’s energy efficiency and security.
Fire and safety system reviews
Check fire alarms, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting and extinguishers to ensure they are operational during an emergency. This can also make sure you are compliant with safety regulations.
Electrical system examinations
Reduce the risk of outages, fires and equipment failure by checking your wiring, outlets and circuit breakers.
What are the benefits of planned preventative maintenance?
Using planned preventative maintenance presents many benefits, including the following:
- Plan ahead – Proactively identify and address issues before they become larger problems that lead to costly repairs and downtime
- Risk management – Protect the building, tenants and your business by mitigating potential risks
- Decay protection – Prevent property and asset deterioration and extend their lifespans
- Stop repeat issues – Address underlying concerns to stop the recurrence of snags, which can be extremely frustrating
- Remain compliant – Make sure you operate in line with relevant health and safety and building codes to avoid penalties
