At Sheridan FM, we understand the importance of keeping your facilities running smoothly, efficiently, and safely. As a leading facilities management company based in Manchester, we offer both planned and reactive maintenance services to businesses across the UK. One of the most effective strategies for maintaining your building and equipment is through Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), a proactive approach that can help prevent unexpected disruptions, extend the lifespan of your assets, and keep operations running smoothly.
What is Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)?
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) refers to a maintenance strategy where tasks are scheduled at regular intervals to inspect, service, and repair equipment or systems before they fail. Unlike reactive maintenance, where repairs are made after a breakdown occurs, PPM is designed to identify and address potential issues before they cause significant disruption or expensive damage. PPM can cover a wide range of areas, including plumbing systems, electrical installations, lift repair and maintenance, fire safety equipment, and more.
Sheridan FM works with businesses of all types to create customised PPM schedules that align with the specific needs of your business. By having a routine maintenance plan in place, you can ensure that your facilities remain in optimal condition without the stress of unexpected equipment failures or downtime.
The Benefits of Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
- Reduced Risk of Breakdowns and Expensive Repairs
Regular maintenance and inspections under a PPM plan help identify issues early on before they develop into major problems. By addressing small faults or wear and tear in equipment or systems, you can avoid costly emergency repairs or complete system failures that disrupt your business operations. - Increased Lifespan of Equipment
Regular servicing extends the lifespan of your equipment and infrastructure. Properly maintained systems operate more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns and ensuring that your equipment lasts longer, providing a higher return on investment. - Improved Safety and Compliance
Regular checks of fire safety systems, electrical installations, plumbing, and other critical safety features help ensure that your business complies with health and safety regulations. This is particularly crucial in industries like healthcare, education, and sports centres, where safety is paramount. PPM ensures that your facilities remain compliant, protecting both your staff and the public. - Reduced Downtime and Disruptions
With PPM, you can schedule maintenance during quieter periods, minimising disruption to your business operations. This is especially beneficial for businesses in education, sports centres, and warehouses, where operations may need to continue without interruption.
