Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM)

If engineers spot early signs of wear, minor leaks or debris build-up, preventive repairs are carried out during a visit. These might include clearing an obstructed gully or patching a cracked section of pipe.

Taking action at these early stages helps to avoid emergency call-outs. All repair work is documented and covered by a written guarantee.

Many West Sussex properties are required by landlords, insurers, or local authorities to prove they manage their drainage systems appropriately.

Planned maintenance contracts help fulfil these requirements by keeping written records of every visit, inspection, and repair, making compliance auditing straightforward.

Food businesses and communal kitchens in areas such as Selsey and Southbourne often require regular grease trap servicing as part of a maintenance plan.

Routine emptying and cleaning minimises the risk of blockages caused by fat, oil, and grease, helping properties maintain hygiene and drainage efficiency.

Health and safety requirements often call for records of drainage work, particularly in commercial or managed properties.

Each maintenance visit includes written reports noting inspections and actions taken, helping property owners demonstrate compliance with relevant standards.

Scheduled inspections are a key part of every maintenance contract. Visits are arranged at intervals that suit the property's use, such as every month or every quarter.

At each inspection, engineers assess pipework, manholes, and surface drains for signs of developing problems. This proactive attention helps to catch minor issues before they disrupt routines.

Regular preventative maintenance keeps drainage systems running efficiently. Clearing silt, fat deposits, or other obstructions prevents slow-running sinks and reduces the risk of unexpected blockages.

Efficient drains are especially important for busy hospitality venues in areas like Bognor Regis and East Wittering, where high daily use can quickly lead to build-up.

Using CCTV survey equipment, engineers can check all parts of your underground drainage for blockages, cracks, or root intrusion.

Regular inspection allows for early detection of problems in hidden pipework, reducing the risk of long-term damage beneath places such as car parks, gardens, or commercial premises.

Many sites across Petworth, Tangmere, and larger rural premises rely on pump stations to keep waste and rainwater moving through their drainage systems.

Planned servicing checks pumps, controls, and alarms to prevent breakdowns or overflow, supporting reliable drainage throughout the year.

By investing in regular maintenance, property owners can avoid the higher costs associated with emergency drain repairs, water damage, or business disruption.

Planned contracts help reduce the risk of flooding and costly emergency interventions, providing predictable upkeep for buildings across Chichester, Lavant, and surrounding areas.
