Planned Preventative Maintenance
Breakdowns are expensive, disruptive and almost always predictable. A planned preventative maintenance contract with Blackwell & Denton FM Ltd puts your building on a schedule — servicing, testing and certification happening on time, with one team, one point of contact and one set of records.
Your building on a calendar, not on your nerves
We build the schedule around the assets you actually have and the dates you are actually held to. Some sites need quarterly attendance, some need one annual sweep — you get what the building needs, not a padded package.
Asset register & condition survey
We walk the site and record what is there — boards, boilers, appliances, lighting, extract, water heaters, doors — with age, condition and service history, so the schedule is based on facts.
Maintenance schedule & compliance calendar
A written planner showing every task, its frequency and its due date, with renewals flagged in advance so no certificate quietly expires.
Electrical testing & inspection
Fixed wire testing programmed across the site, board inspections, thermal checks on distribution and remedials tracked to completion under our NICEIC Approved registration.
Gas appliance & heating servicing
Gas Safe servicing of boilers, water heaters and commercial catering equipment, with certificates issued and the next service date carried into the planner.
Appliance servicing & repairs
Twenty years of appliance work behind us: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, fridges and commercial laundry serviced before they fail, and repaired quickly when they do.
Emergency lighting & alarm testing
Monthly function tests and annual duration tests on emergency lighting, plus fire alarm system testing coordinated with your responsible person.
Lighting maintenance & LED upgrades
Planned lamp replacement rather than piecemeal call-outs, failed fittings swapped on the visit, and LED upgrade options costed against your running bills.
Ventilation, extract & filters
Extract fans, kitchen canopies, filters and grilles cleaned and checked on schedule so airflow, hygiene and noise stay where they should be.
Water systems & temperature checks
Water heater servicing, outlet temperature monitoring and flushing regimes recorded as part of your building's routine compliance evidence.
Gutters, drainage & building fabric
Gutter clearance, downpipe checks, external cleaning and minor fabric repairs booked into the same visits so nothing needs a separate contractor.
Certificates, reports & records
Every visit produces a report and, where relevant, a certificate — stored, dated and reissued on request for insurers, auditors and managing agents.
One contract, one number
Planned work and reactive call-outs handled by the same Clifton Moor team, so the engineer who attends your breakdown already knows the building.
Landlords, agents & residential blocks
For landlords and managing agents around York, PPM is mostly about never being caught out: certificates in date, communal areas safe and tenants not calling about the same fault twice.
- Gas and electrical certificates renewed before they lapse
- Communal lighting, emergency lighting and door entry checked
- Appliance servicing across furnished and HMO properties
- Gutter and external cleaning on an annual cycle
- Void property checks between tenancies
- One report per property, filed and retrievable
- Reactive cover under the same agreement
Commercial & industrial sites
For offices, shops, workshops, care settings and industrial units, downtime costs more than the maintenance does. We schedule around your trading hours and keep the evidence tidy.
- Full asset register with ages, locations and service history
- Fixed wire testing phased across the site, not all at once
- Catering, laundry and equipment servicing programmed in
- Emergency lighting and alarm testing records maintained
- Out-of-hours and weekend attendance where needed
- Multi-site schedules under one contract and one contact
- Annual review of spend, failures and what to change
Six steps, start to finish
Tell us about the building
Type of premises, rough size, what plant and equipment you have and which certificates you already hold. A call is usually enough to start.
Site survey & asset register
We walk the site, list the assets, note their condition and check which compliance dates are live, overdue or missing entirely.
Schedule & fixed-price proposal
A written planner with tasks, frequencies and dates, and a clear annual price — with anything outside the contract listed as such.
Planned visits begin
Engineers attend on the agreed dates, work around your hours, and carry out the servicing, testing and minor repairs in the schedule.
Reports & certificates
Each visit produces a report with photographs, test results and any recommendations priced separately so you decide what proceeds.
Review & adjust
We review the year: what failed, what cost most, what needs more attention and what can safely be done less often.
What every PPM contract includes
We will not sell you a schedule your building does not need
Plenty of maintenance contracts are priced on visit count rather than value. If a small site needs two visits a year instead of twelve, that is what we will propose — and if an asset is so old that servicing it is throwing money away, we will tell you what replacement costs instead of quietly maintaining it forever. You get the schedule the building justifies, and an annual review to change it when it stops fitting.
Planned maintenance is the core of what we do
NICEIC Approved electrical work, Gas Safe heating, twenty years of appliance repairs, safety certificates, cleaning, solar and EV charging all come from the same Clifton Moor team. That is what makes planned maintenance work here: the engineer who services your kit is the one who comes back when it fails.
