Planned Preventative Maintenance FAQs
How can I get an estimate of maintenance costs on a property?
Our RICS qualified building surveyors can assess the condition of your property and draw up a schedule of maintenance including time and costs required. Contact our building surveyors with the property details and we can provide a quote for the schedule. Owners or tenants can put in place a Planned Preventative Maintenance schedule, allowing them to budget and plan for ongoing maintenance.
Is planned preventative maintenance a legal requirement?
Some aspects of planned preventative maintenance relate to statutory maintenance obligations to comply with building and Health and Safety regulations, so incorporating those into your maintenance schedule will assist your compliance with the law.
