Planned Preventive Maintenance for Commercial Buildings

Mechanical, electrical, heating, air conditioning and plumbing maintenance across the North West

Deakin’s provides planned preventive maintenance and reactive support for businesses across Preston, Chorley, Leyland, Bolton and the wider North West.

Commercial Planned Preventive Maintenance

Unexpected equipment failures can interrupt operations, inconvenience staff and customers, and lead to costly emergency repairs. Planned preventive maintenance, often shortened to PPM, helps reduce these risks by inspecting and servicing essential systems at agreed intervals throughout the year.

Deakin’s creates tailored maintenance programmes for commercial properties and multi-site organisations across the North West. Our qualified engineers can maintain mechanical, electrical, heating, air conditioning and plumbing equipment as part of one coordinated service, helping you manage your assets, identify developing faults and plan remedial work before minor problems become major disruptions.

Whether you require annual servicing for a single commercial property or a broader maintenance contract covering several locations, we can develop a schedule around your equipment, operational requirements and preferred service levels.

What Can Be Included in a PPM Contract?

Commercial Heating & Boilers

Routine inspection and servicing of commercial boilers, heating systems and associated controls to help maintain reliable operation and identify signs of wear or deterioration.

Air Conditioning and HVAC

Planned servicing for commercial air conditioning, ventilation and HVAC equipment, including checks appropriate to the system and its operating environment.

Commercial Electrical Systems

Scheduled electrical inspection, testing and maintenance to help businesses manage faults, safety requirements and the reliability of essential equipment.

Plumbing Systems

Preventive checks and maintenance for commercial plumbing installations, water systems, pumps, valves and associated equipment.

Commercial Gas Systems

Maintenance and servicing for commercial gas installations and appliances, undertaken by appropriately qualified engineers.

Renewable Tech & Controls

Scheduled maintenance for applicable renewable technologies, control systems and other specialist equipment forming part of the building’s services.

A Maintenance Programme Built Around Your Premises

1. Site and Asset Review

We begin by discussing your premises, equipment, operational priorities and current maintenance arrangements. Where required, our team can review the relevant assets across one or more locations.

2. Tailored Maintenance Schedule

We agree which systems are to be covered, how frequently they require attention and the level of reactive support your organisation needs.

3. Planned Engineer Visits

Our engineers attend at scheduled intervals to carry out the agreed inspections and servicing, recording their findings and identifying any recommended remedial work.

4. Reporting and Ongoing Support

You receive clear maintenance records to help with asset management and compliance tracking. Contract customers can also access reactive support in accordance with their agreed service package.

Planned Maintenance with Reactive Support

Even well-maintained equipment can occasionally develop a fault. That is why Deakin’s can combine scheduled preventive maintenance with responsive support when an unexpected issue occurs.

For contracted customers, agreed response arrangements provide a clear route for reporting breakdowns and arranging an engineer visit. Because our team already understands the maintained equipment and service history, faults can be assessed with better background information and any necessary repair work can be organised efficiently.

Our multi-skilled capabilities also allow us to coordinate maintenance across several building services, reducing the need to manage separate contractors for every system.

24/7 reactive cover is available to contracted customers, subject to the terms and service levels agreed within their maintenance contract.

Benefits of Planned Preventive Maintenance

Commercial Maintenance from a Local Multi-Service Team

Deakin’s supports more than 100 sites with planned maintenance for commercial heating, air conditioning, electrical systems and other building services. Our customers include care homes, hotels, offices, factories and industrial premises of varying sizes.

By bringing mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and gas expertise together, we can provide a more coordinated approach to maintaining commercial properties. Every maintenance programme is developed around the customer’s premises rather than forcing unrelated organisations into a standard package.

Based near Preston, our engineers support businesses throughout Lancashire and surrounding areas, including Chorley, Leyland, Bamber Bridge, Buckshaw Village, Bolton and Wigan.

The “more than 100 sites” statement comes from the current page and is worth retaining because it is one of its strongest trust signals.
