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.
