Expert Planned Maintenance with Ground Up
At Ground Up, we know that effective facilities maintenance isn’t just about fixing issues—it’s about preventing them before they happen.
Our proactive approach ensures your assets stay operational, safe, and energy-efficient, reducing downtime and costly repairs.
But, what is planned maintenance? What does it include? And why should it be important to you?
-
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)?
Planned Preventative Maintenance is pre-booked routine servicing or facility upgrades to prevent breakdowns such as Boiler Checks, Roof Inspections and Flooring updates, which could pause your operations. Booking PPM with Ground Up will extend asset lifespan, and maintains compliance.
-
Scheduled Planned Maintenance (SPM)?
Scheduled Planned Maintenance is another term sometimes used when talking about facilities maintenance. This again means pre-booked servicing - but this time with an emphasis on fixed, scheduled, intervals (e.g., weekly, monthly, or annually) such as; cleaning and lawncare.

Why should planned maintenance be important to you?
Planned Maintenance is essential for minimising unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs by ensuring that equipment and systems remain in optimal working condition. It plays a crucial role in enhancing safety by preventing potential failures that could lead to accidents, operational disruptions, or regulatory non-compliance. A well-executed maintenance strategy improves efficiency, extends asset lifespan, and reduces downtime, while also demonstrating a commitment to reliability, sustainability, and long-term cost savings.

How Does Planned Maintenance Keep You Compliant?
Planned maintenance is essential for avoiding legal penalties and fines by ensuring that facilities meet all regulatory requirements. It plays a crucial role in safeguarding occupant safety and well-being by preventing hazards such as fire risks, structural failures, and health violations. A well-maintained facility boosts efficiency, extends equipment lifespan, and cuts costs, while compliance strengthens a company's reputation for safety and sustainability.

How Can Ground Up Help With Your Planned Maintenance?
We can help ensure statutory compliance with health and safety regulations, environmental standards, and building codes. Our services include everything from fire safety audits and PAT testing, to waste management, and HVAC upkeep. By taking a proactive approach to planned maintenance, we can help prevent costly repairs, avoid legal penalties, and enhance overall efficiency. From routine safety inspections to pre-scheduled servicing, we address potential issues before they escalate—whether it’s updating carpeting before it becomes hazardous, fixing lighting before complaints arise, or keeping your systems running smoothly. Our goal is to minimise disruptions, maintain safety, and protect your facility’s reputation.
Which Planned Maintenance Contract Suits You?

WEEKLY
Weekly visits are ideal for facilities needing regular upkeep, keeping spaces clean, safe, and presentable. Services like cleaning, grounds maintenance, and minor repairs help prevent issues from building up. This is especially useful for offices, healthcare spaces, shops, schools and residential blocks.

MONTHLY
Monthly visits are ideal for facilities needing periodic upkeep to stay tidy and professional. Services can include window cleaning, lawn care, light maintenance, and exterior tidying. Perfect for low-traffic offices, warehouses, and commercial properties.

QUARTERLY
Quarterly visits are the minimum requirement for ensuring compliance with essential safety checks, such as PAT testing and fire extinguisher inspections. This schedule also works perfectly for seasonal tasks, like winter weather prep and summer flower planting. Keep your facility both safe and well-maintained throughout the year.

FLEXI
With a flexible schedule, you can tailor visits to suit your business's unique needs. Whether it's regular upkeep or occasional tasks, you have the freedom to book appointments when it works best for you. Choose a recurring schedule or opt for one-off service. You have full control over the timing and scope of the work.
