Managing a property without a Planned Preventative Maintenance Schedule often leads to “fabric failure” – where lack of regular structured maintenance and small, unnoticed defects can escalate into costly major works and structural repairs. Our surveyors provide the technical foresight required to maintain the state of repair for both the building envelope and communal areas, internally and externally.

A professional PMP from MM Building Surveyors Limited offers:
Financial Predictability: Spread and forecast future costs across a 5-10 year period.
Asset Value Preservation: Prevent the “diminution in value” often seen in poorly maintained commercial or residential blocks.
Statutory Compliance: Ensuring all building elements meet the latest safety and environmental standards.
Risk Mitigation: Identifying high-priority “essential” works before they become more significant and costly major works and potential safety hazards.
We begin by reviewing all available background information, including Statutory documentation and historical repair records provided by the Property Manager.
Our experts assemble a specialist team to carry out a comprehensive inspection of all relevant parts of the building. For larger estates or inaccessible roof areas, we often utilise Drone Surveys to ensure no defect is missed.
If we identify specific issues during the inspection, such as building defects, safety issues or concerns regarding deleterious materials these are flagged immediately for prioritisation.
4. Costed Schedule and Prioritisation
Our reports include a clear, costed schedule. We do not just list works; we categorise them by priority, helping you align the programme with your specific Capital Expenditure Plans.
While we can tailor the timeframe, most professional PMPs cover a 5-10 year period. This allows for the inclusion of major life-cycle items such as roof replacements, lift refurbishments, and external redecorations.
We operate throughout the UK, across the UK, primarily in London, the South and the Midlands. Our local knowledge of these property markets allows us to provide more accurate local costings for labour and materials.
Yes. For residential block managers and commercial landlords, a planned preventative maintenance schedule is an essential tool for works planning, justifying service charge collections and managing sinking funds effectively, ensuring tenants are not faced with unexpected or large-scale costs.
