What Is Planned Preventative Maintenance?

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a strategic, scheduled approach to building upkeep. Instead of waiting for critical equipment to fail, PPM ensures your assets are serviced, calibrated, and inspected at precise intervals.

By aligning our maintenance schedules with SFG20 industry standards and manufacturer guidelines, we pinpoint potential faults before they escalate. This proactive strategy extends the lifespan of your expensive assets, guarantees statutory compliance (like fire safety and water hygiene), and safeguards your occupants.

Financially, the impact is undeniable. A well-designed PPM programme can reduce reactive maintenance spend by 12–18% naturally, eliminating expensive emergency call-out fees and unpredictable operational downtime.

What is SFG20?

SFG20 is the UK's standard specification for building services maintenance, published by BESA. It sets out the frequency and scope of maintenance tasks for over 2,000 asset types. EntireFM uses SFG20 as the baseline for all PPM programmes, ensuring your maintenance schedules are legislation-aligned and defensible in any audit.
