What is the Difference Between Planned & Reactive Property Maintenance Services?

What are planned property maintenance services?

Planned property maintenance services involve highlighting work which needs to be completed. A company, like ourselves here at PPVS, which offers planned property maintenance services will typically assess the situation and figure out the best way to carry out maintenance.

This type of maintenance involves making a detailed list of the tasks, materials, trades and labour required to solve any highlighted issues. Planned maintenance typically takes place when there is a timeline available to indicate when action needs to be taken. This allows businesses to schedule maintenance well in advance.

Most businesses will keep an inventory of equipment present in the building, along with service histories and a record of when each piece of equipment needs to be checked. It is common practice for businesses to commission a property services contractor to undertake preventative maintenance on a regular basis. This strategy is designed to minimise reactive maintenance, which is often more costly.

Planned and reactive maintenance each has its place in any business itinerary. Each helps to prolong the upkeep of a premises and minimise any disruption to productivity.

What are reactive property maintenance services?

Reactive maintenance is carried out to address a sudden fault which has occurred. Such faults can be due to malfunctioning equipment or human error. In this context, reactive maintenance is crucial to any commercial environment. To remain financially viable, commercial buildings which house machinery need to be fully operational. Any issues which impact productivity need to be addressed as quickly as possible.

While reactive maintenance is unplanned, companies can engage with a professional commercial property services company such as PPVS to ensure a team of highly-skilled specialists are on hand when equipment goes down. PPVS has the experience and infrastructure available to ensure service disruption is kept to a minimum in the event of a breakdown or defect.

What are the benefits of planned & reactive maintenance services?

Both planned and reactive maintenance play a role in ensuring the viability and longevity of commercial property and the equipment housed within. Partnering with a company which offers a combination of reactive and planned maintenance is the best way to ensure all maintenance is minimal and causes the least amount of disruption.

By establishing a good working relationship with a property maintenance firm that offers both planned and reactive maintenance, you can have complete peace of mind that your premises and equipment are kept in the best working order – and if something unexpected does go wrong, you’ll have the expertise of a trusted company on hand to help you navigate the difficulties associated with production downtime.
