Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM)

Any minor issues found during inspections are dealt with before they become emergencies. Typical repairs include clearing minor blockages, fixing displaced joints, or relining damaged pipe sections.

Carrying out repairs early can keep drains running smoothly, minimising disruption for businesses and residents in Cottenham, Waterbeach, or Fulbourn.

Many property managers in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire must meet legal or insurance requirements for drainage maintenance. Planned contracts help prove compliance.

Regular checks and written reports can be provided for your records, supporting your obligations for commercial or multi-let residential sites.

For food businesses or canteens in places like Ely or Newmarket, grease trap cleaning can be included as part of your PPM contract. Regular emptying stops fat and oil blockages forming further down the line.

Our engineers ensure grease traps are serviced to control odours and maintain compliance with environmental regulations.

Written reports are provided after each maintenance visit, outlining findings and any actions taken. These records support your health and safety obligations.

Clients in Cambridge, Histon, or Sawston often use these reports for internal checks or to demonstrate due diligence during audits or inspections.

Routine inspections form the backbone of any planned maintenance programme. Engineers examine pipework, gullies, and inspection chambers, using CCTV where necessary, to spot early signs of wear or problems.

Scheduled visits are set at intervals that meet the needs of your property. For commercial buildings in places like Histon or Sawston, more frequent checks may be needed versus residential homes in Great Shelford or Milton.

A well-maintained drainage system stays more efficient for longer. Regular maintenance clears debris, checks flow levels, and ensures drainage runs at design capacity.

Routine cleaning with high-pressure water jetting may be recommended periodically, particularly for properties in Cherry Hinton or Trumpington with older clay pipes or trees nearby.

Full system inspections use CCTV cameras to assess the condition of buried pipes and identify hidden defects. This approach reduces the need for disruptive excavations.

Inspections cover main drains, laterals, and connections, checking for cracks, tree root ingress, or build-ups of scale that can affect flow or pose future risks.

Some Cambridgeshire properties use pump stations to move wastewater or surface water. Planned maintenance includes checking pumps, controls, and alarms to prevent failures.

Servicing helps to maintain continuous operation, reducing the risk of flooding or expensive emergency repairs for commercial sites.

Fixing faults early is usually much cheaper than dealing with a major flood or system failure. A planned contract helps keep budgets under control and reduces risk.

For property managers in Cambridge and surrounding areas, proactive maintenance is a straightforward way to keep drains working and avoid costly disruptions to tenants or businesses.
