What does a commercial maintenance contract cover?

A maintenance contract turns the works your buildings need into a planned, priced programme delivered by one contractor, rather than a string of emergency call-outs. It can cover mechanical and electrical plant, building fabric, grounds and the statutory servicing your compliance obligations require, across a single site or an entire portfolio.

  • The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require workplaces, equipment, devices and systems to be maintained in an efficient state and good repair, so planned maintenance is part of compliance, not just good housekeeping.
  • A PPM survey sets the plan; a maintenance contract delivers it, with the two working best together.
  • Statutory servicing such as fire equipment, air conditioning, electrical and water hygiene can be bundled into one contract with one set of records.
  • Planned maintenance follows the RICS PPM professional standard, and consistent reporting across a portfolio supports capital planning.

What's involved

How a maintenance contract works

A contractor reviews your buildings, ideally against a PPM survey, and proposes a scope, schedule and price for the works and servicing required. The contract then runs on a planned programme with reactive cover for faults, regular reporting and a single point of contact. Scope can range from mechanical and electrical plant only to full facilities management.

What it delivers

  • A scoped, priced maintenance programme
  • Scheduled planned maintenance visits
  • Reactive cover for faults and breakdowns
  • Statutory servicing and compliance records
  • Regular reporting across every site

Who needs it

  • Commercial landlords and property owners
  • Facilities and property managers
  • Multi-site businesses and portfolio owners
  • Anyone moving from reactive repairs to planned maintenance

Why it matters

  • Emergency repairs carry a premium and disrupt tenants
  • Maintenance is a workplace legal duty
  • One contract means one set of records
  • Planned works protect asset value
From firefighting to control

Reactive repairs cost more, every time.

Every emergency call-out is a premium you chose by not planning. A maintenance contract sequences and prices the work in advance, folds your statutory servicing into the same schedule, and gives you one accountable contractor and one set of records across every building you run.

Questions

Maintenance Contracts FAQs

How much does a commercial maintenance contract cost?+
It depends on the scope, the number and size of the buildings and the plant involved. Contracts are priced on scope, from a few hundred pounds a month for a single small site to portfolio programmes priced on tender. You’ll get no-obligation quotes to compare.
What is the difference between PPM and a maintenance contract?+
A PPM survey is the plan: a surveyor’s costed schedule of what each building needs and when. A maintenance contract is the delivery: a contractor carrying out that programme. They work best together.
Can one contract cover statutory compliance servicing?+
Yes. Fire equipment, air conditioning, electrical inspection and water hygiene servicing can all be scheduled under one contract with one set of records, which is simpler to manage and evidence.
Can one contractor cover multiple sites?+
Yes. Portfolio contracts give consistent, comparable reporting across every site and usually better pricing than site-by-site arrangements.
Is planned maintenance really cheaper than reactive?+
Over time, typically yes. Avoiding emergency premiums, catching small issues early and budgeting properly usually costs less than a series of reactive failures.
Who carries out the work?+
Vetted maintenance and facilities contractors with the trade and compliance accreditations their work requires. We match you with contractors who cover your area and property type.
