Planned Maintenance FAQs
What is planned maintenance?
Planned maintenance is a proactive planned approach to property maintenance which anticipates issues and potential breakdowns, and schedules repairs before such failures occur. Planned maintenance programmes reduce emergencies and breakdown which may require a responsive repairs programme.
What is Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)?
Planned Preventative Maintenance programmes include regular ongoing checks and repairs, ensuring systems stay functional and safe. They take into account occupant lifestyles and wear and tear.
What is fabric maintenance?
Fabric maintenance covers all aspects of property maintenance apart from Mechanical & Electrical maintenance services.
It includes building assets such as roofing, external walls, windows, doors, cladding and insulation.
What are cyclical repairs?
Old and outdated assets and equipment are far more likely to fail than newer equipment. By replacing or repairing equipment before it reaches end-of-life or breakdown, property landlords and owners can help occupants to avoid disruption through sudden, unexpected failures. A cyclical repairs programme reduces costs associated with asset and equipment breakdowns.
Can you run cyclical repairs and planned maintenance programmes at the same time?
Indeed you can! Cyclical repairs and planned maintenance programmes often run in parallel.Planned maintenance monitors the wear and tear of assets on a scheduled basis to proactively avoid future outages and keep facilities in good working condition.
Planned maintenance can occur on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis. It may involve regular cleaning, checking of parts and fixing or replacing components that are becoming worn.
Cyclical repairs involve repairing or replacing assets on a set schedule as they reach end-of-life. A cyclical repair timetable will depend entirely on the individual shelf life of each asset. This could range from one to 25 years.

How do planned maintenance programmes help landlords and owners?
Scheduling works and anticipating the purchase of supplies well in advance improves timeframes, budget planning and targets. Planned maintenance programmes catch issues early, reducing expensive emergency or responsive repairs costs. They are shown to increase resident satisfaction too.
How do planned maintenance programmes help residents?
Axis’ feedback indicates that our residents value our proactive approach to repairs and maintenance in their homes.
Advance scheduling and allocated teams – and the advance communication this allows – reduce disruption and inconvenience to residents.
How does Axis provide information for a planned maintenance programme?
We conduct thorough surveys to assess building conditions and prioritise the order of repairs.
Our full reports itemise the property’s structural, mechanical, and electrical needs, providing a strategy for repairs and upgrades, extending asset lifespans and guiding future maintenance decisions. Plus, our efficiency reports highlight energy-saving opportunities.
We’ll consider the use of the building and its assets, assess how this impacts long and short-term wear and tear before adding a priority level to each project on the maintenance plan.
How does planned maintenance work alongside reactive or responsive repairs?
Planned maintenance helps to extend the life expectancy of assets, thus reducing the need for frequent replacement or repair (responsive repairs).
Clients whose properties are well-maintained through a planned maintenance programme experience less sporadic downtime than those who do not have assets regularly maintained.
Clearly, this is a far more cost-effective approach in the long term. Well-maintained assets and equipment will also run more efficiently and sustainably, and the chance of breakdown is significantly less.
Axis will work to ensure the smooth running of both planned maintenance programmes and reactive maintenance programmes.
What are capital improvements?
Properties undergoing capital improvements are adapted or enhanced structurally to improve a building and its assets, adding value to the property. Generally, these projects occur less frequently than repair and maintenance work, which is often ongoing. Capital improvements are planned in advance and may take place over several years as part of a long-term development project.
