Facilities and Property Maintenance FAQs

Describe the symptoms and what is already known. If the cause is uncertain, fault finding can establish the evidence needed to define a repair. A request to replace the visible damaged part may miss the underlying problem.

Tell us what needs doing

What does planned maintenance cover?

The schedule identifies the assets, tasks, frequencies and records included. Compare the schedule with the actual property and its requirements; the phrase planned maintenance does not define a universal package.

Can reactive work become a planned project?

Yes. Repeated faults or ageing equipment can justify a coordinated repair or replacement project. Keep the immediate action and the longer-term decision separately recorded.

What should I send with an enquiry?

The site address, task or symptoms, affected area, preferred timescale and access contact. Add photographs or existing reports where useful and safe to obtain.

Will a quotation include every trade?

The quotation should identify the work included and the interfaces between trades. Ask about making good, testing, waste removal and handover where they are relevant to the finished result.

What should I receive after work?

The agreed completion information should explain the work performed and any outstanding action. Tests, certificates, manuals and updated asset information depend on the scope.

Does emergency attendance mean a permanent repair?

Not always. An attendance may control the immediate problem and identify permanent work for separate approval. The completion record should explain the current condition and restrictions.

Can several sites be included?

Provide the site list and each location’s requirements. Scope, access, reporting and priorities need to be clear for each site, as well as for the overall instruction.
