Our Focus: Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

For block managers, prevention is always better than cure. Our planned preventative maintenance programmes (PPM) are designed to identify and address issues before they become disruptive or costly.

Each contract is carefully structured around your building’s assets, usage patterns, and statutory requirements. We schedule regular maintenance visits, detailed inspections, and condition reporting to keep everything performing at its best - from plant rooms to communal systems.

Our planned maintenance services cover:

• Heating & Hot Water Systems – Servicing, efficiency checks and fault prevention for boilers, pumps, and controls.

• Cold Water Storage & Boosted Systems – Routine inspections and maintenance to safeguard water quality and prevent Legionella.

• Ventilation & Air Handling Units – Cleaning, balancing and compliance testing to maintain indoor air quality.

• Drainage & Plumbing Systems – Regular inspections to avoid blockages and leaks before they impact residents.

• Gas Safety & Pressure Vessel Inspections – Keeping all systems compliant with current legislation and safety standards.

Every visit is supported by clear documentation and detailed reporting, giving you a complete picture of system performance and future maintenance requirements.

Why Planned Maintenance Matters

Unplanned breakdowns are more than an inconvenience - they can quickly escalate into costly emergencies that impact residents and reputations. Planned maintenance is the smarter, more cost-effective solution.

By partnering with PHD Mechanical, you’ll benefit from:

• Reduced Reactive Callouts – Regular servicing catches problems early.

• Improved System Lifespan – Proactive care extends the life of your assets.

• Energy & Cost Efficiency – Optimised systems consume less energy and reduce operating costs.

• Compliance Confidence – Peace of mind that your buildings meet all mechanical safety requirements.

• Predictable Budgets – Transparent contracts and no surprise costs.

Our clients see measurable results. Lower maintenance spend, fewer reactive visits, and happier residents.

Emergency Support When It Matters

Even with a strong planned maintenance strategy in place, unexpected issues can still occur — and when they do, speed and expertise are critical.

At PHD Mechanical, we provide round-the-clock emergency support to our contracted clients, ensuring essential building services are restored as quickly as possible. Our in-house engineers are on standby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to respond to urgent situations such as boiler breakdowns, pump failures, leaks or loss of hot water.

Because we already maintain your systems and hold detailed service records, our engineers can arrive on-site fully informed — allowing for faster diagnosis, efficient repair, and minimal disruption to residents. We understand how important it is for property and block managers to act swiftly when problems arise, especially in communal settings where downtime can impact multiple households.

​​Working in Partnership with Block Managers

We understand the unique challenges of managing residential blocks - multiple stakeholders, budget pressures, and the need for quick, reliable communication.

Our service is built around flexibility, transparency, and collaboration. Each client is assigned a dedicated point of contact to manage scheduling, reporting, and communication, ensuring your maintenance programme runs smoothly with minimal disruption to residents.

We also provide digital service reports and compliance documentation, giving property managers full visibility over completed works and planned recommendations.

Sustainability and Energy Performance

Planned maintenance plays a vital role in reducing a building’s carbon footprint. Our engineers take a sustainability-first approach, identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste at every stage.

We can advise on plant room optimisation, system upgrades, and the latest energy-efficient technology, helping you align with ESG goals and deliver better value for residents and landlords alike.
