Benefits of Planned Maintenance
Planned maintenance is a proactive strategy. We recommend establishing a planned maintenance schedule for a number of reasons, as follows:
Cost
It’s significantly more cost-effective to take a preventative attitude to maintenance rather than to simply react to issues as they arise.
Energy Efficiency
A proactive approach to maintenance is proven to increase the lifespan and efficiency of commercial properties.
Increased Uptime
Keeping the building in a good condition reduces disruption for building occupants, whether employees or members of the public, for increased productivity and uptime.
Prevents Large-Scale Failure
Fixing problems at early stages prevents them from becoming larger, more complex, and more costly to deal with.
Optimises Building Condition
Planned maintenance keeps your building in its best condition, helping to secure the value and standard of the property.

"We worked with the Igloo Property Group team throughout our relocation and fit out project. I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided. Several premises were considered and endless CAD plans provided at no cost until a suitable property was identified.
When a decision on location was made the Igloo Property Group team project managed the entire project from start to finish. There were no delays and no surprises on costs.
I would have no hesitation in working with the Igloo Property Group team again in the future."
Andy Lambert, Director, Go Convey
"I just want to say a huge thank you to you for the works you and your team have undertaken and delivered to the very best standards. In particular, the contract manager has been superb on site, managing the works and client. Your finance team have always been available to discuss contractors support, finances, etc.
Thank you too for your ever present support and communication and for acting upon then resolving issues quickly (Asbestos, drains). Also, many thanks for the goodwill in relation to ‘free’ works to the disabled toilet, this is very kind and very much appreciated by all parties."

“I just wanted to feedback following the work that has been carried out at 99, Maple Grove, March last week. This is a supported living property, ran by Lifeways, and is the home of 2 elderly people. Throughout the week on site, David and Leanne have been kind, considerate, respectful and very flexible. The flooring looks great, and both people who live at the property are very happy with the end result. The difference it will make for independence, now the dip in the floor has gone, will be huge for the gentleman—now he can take himself to his room. Your crew rock and I feel they need to be made aware of the impact this ‘job’ to them will now make on these two lives. Amazing.”
Lifeways Group
“Welfare facilities play a crucial role in supporting the wellbeing and morale of our workforce at Warwickshire Police, and the condition of our previous toilet facilities had fallen well below the standard we strive to maintain. They were outdated, tired, and in need of significant improvement.
The refurbishment works carried out so far have been truly remarkable. The transformation has not only improved the functionality and cleanliness of the facilities but has also created a far more pleasant and hygienic environment for officers and staff. The attention to detail and quality of the work have been exceptional.
We are extremely happy with the progress to date and look forward to the completion of the remaining works. This investment in our workplace is already making a noticeable difference and is greatly appreciated by everyone on site.”

Planned Maintenance FAQs
What is planned maintenance?
Planned maintenance is a structured, proactive approach to maintaining buildings, assets and systems through scheduled inspections, servicing and repairs. Rather than reacting to faults, works are planned in advance based on time, usage or condition, helping to keep properties compliant, operational and performing as intended.
Why is planned maintenance important?
Planned maintenance reduces the risk of unexpected failures, helping to avoid disruption, costly emergency repairs and operational downtime. It supports compliance with relevant regulations, extends the lifespan of building assets and allows for more accurate budgeting. This provides greater control, visibility and confidence in how buildings are maintained.
What is the difference between planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and planned maintenance?
Planned maintenance is an overarching term that covers all scheduled maintenance activities, including inspections, servicing and planned repairs. Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a more targeted approach within this, focused specifically on preventing issues before they occur.
In simple terms:
- Planned maintenance covers all scheduled maintenance activities
- PPM focuses on preventing faults and maintaining performance
PPM is typically carried out at set intervals, often based on manufacturer guidance, statutory requirements or asset criticality, to reduce the likelihood of failure and ensure systems continue to operate reliably.
