A comprehensive engineering guide to planned preventative maintenance (PPM): asset registers, statutory intervals, SFG20 task schedules, and remedial workflows.
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is the scheduled, proactive servicing of building assets, mechanical plant, and electrical distribution systems to prevent unexpected failure, preserve manufacturer warranties, and satisfy mandatory UK statutory testing duties.
PPM tasks must be strictly prioritised. Statutory tasks (e.g. annual Gas Safety CP12, 5-yearly EICR, monthly emergency lighting discharge) are legally mandated. Standard tasks (quarterly AHU filter replacement, annual chiller refrigeration service) preserve operating efficiency. Discretionary tasks provide aesthetic upkeep.
A PPM task is only complete when verified engineering evidence (such as refrigerant pressures, insulation resistance megger readings, and photos) is captured in the CAFM. Discovered defects must immediately spawn tracked remedial work orders with clear C1/C2 criticality classifications.
EntireFM builds verified planned maintenance matrices, undertakes on-site asset surveys, and manages total facilities operations across the UK.
A concise weekly editorial briefing on maintenance, statutory compliance, engineering, and building technology. No marketing fluff or promotional spam.
Whether you require a comprehensive Hard & Soft FM contract, single-site mechanical & electrical maintenance, or an urgent specialist survey, EntireFM deploys certified engineers and dedicated account managers nationwide.
Structured PPM scheduling, periodic engineering testing, statutory record keeping, and digital audit logs.
Direct helpdesk triage, reactive engineer dispatch, and clear SLA performance tracking.
