Planned maintenance also known as preventative maintenance. It is a proactive strategy where maintenance and inspections on property assets are scheduled at regular interims. This ensures that an item or fixture is maintained to a certain standard and to minimise costs.
The benefits of planned or preventative maintenance are much more than saving money. Some benefits of preventative maintenance include:
- Improved safety and health performance of asset
- Improved maintenance and repair quality
- Increased asset integrity
- Reduced fixed costs
- More zccurate budgeting
Examples of planned/preventative maintenance:
Gutter cleaning
Gutters to be cleaned every 6 – 12 months to prevent overflow of gutters and rust.
Pest control
Pest control should be done at least every 6 – 12 months in order to prevent breeding and infestation.
Painting
Painting of your home or investment property is recommended at least every 3 – 5 years to maintain the appearance and condition of the asset.
Flooring replacement
Flooring replacement at your home or investment property is usually done after 5 – 7 years to maintain the appearance and condition of the asset.
Plumbing
Most plumbing works to be inspected and washers to be changed every 12 months to prevent further damage to tap ware, nearby fixtures and fittings and stress of emergency.
