What does a PPM contract cover? ▼
A PPM contract covers the compliance and building fabric works your property needs on a scheduled, rolling basis. Typically this includes EICR testing (every 5 years for commercial premises), annual fire door inspection, PAT testing, periodic redecoration, planned LED upgrades and general building fabric maintenance. The exact scope is agreed at the outset and fixed in the contract — nothing is added without your agreement.
How much does a PPM contract cost? ▼
Annual contract costs depend on building size and the scope of services included. Small commercial offices (up to 2,000 sq ft) typically range from £2,000 to £4,000/yr. Medium offices (2,000–5,000 sq ft) range from £4,000 to £8,000/yr. Larger buildings and multi-site portfolios are priced separately. A free compliance audit establishes what your building actually needs before we issue any contract price.
How often are inspections carried out? ▼
Inspection frequencies follow statutory and best-practice requirements. EICR testing is required every 5 years for commercial premises, or on change of occupancy. Fire door inspections are recommended annually as a minimum under BS 8214 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. PAT testing frequency depends on building type and use. We set and manage the schedule — you don't need to track renewal dates.
Can you cover multiple sites under one contract? ▼
Yes. Multi-site portfolios are one of our main PPM contract types. We coordinate inspection schedules across all sites, produce a consolidated compliance register, and apply volume pricing for portfolios of three or more sites. All sites get the same documentation standard regardless of size or location.
What compliance certificates do you provide? ▼
We provide EICR certificates (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) to BS 7671, fire door inspection reports to BS 8214, PAT test records, and completion sign-off documentation for all fabric and redecoration works. All documentation is issued promptly after each inspection or works phase and held on file for you.
Do you carry out remedial works in-house? ▼
Yes — and this is a significant difference from inspection-only contractors. If an EICR inspection identifies C1 or C2 faults, our electrical team resolves them without you sourcing a separate contractor. Fire door remedials — hinges, closers, intumescent strips, replacement doors — are handled by our own team. Remedial works are quoted separately and agreed before proceeding; they can be included in the annual contract or handled as individual jobs.
