PPM – Planned Preventative Maintenance Contracts

Reactive maintenance is expensive. 
Planned maintenance is predictable.

BASSE provides structured Planned Preventative Maintenance in London and Greater London designed to reduce risk, stabilise costs and protect the long-term performance of your assets & building.

  • Predictable maintenance costs.
  • Compliance assurance.
  • Fewer emergency failures.
  • Longer asset lifespan.

 

What Is Planned Preventative Maintenance?

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a structured schedule of inspections, servicing and compliance checks designed to prevent building system failures before they occur.

In many commercial buildings, maintenance is still handled reactively: 
 
Something breaks. 
An engineer attends. 
A repair is made. 
 
By the time a system fails, the underlying issue has often been developing for months. 
 
PPM identifies issues early and reduces costly emergency repairs.

Why PPM Matters

A well-managed PPM programme brings control back to building maintenance.

Without a structured maintenance programme: 
 
• costs fluctuate unpredictably 
• emergency callouts increase 
• systems fail more frequently 
• asset lifespan is reduced 
• compliance risks increase
