Hard Facilities Management for
Retirement Living in London & Kent
Tailored PPM services for your retirement living development
In retirement living developments, hard FM planned preventative maintenance (PPM) delivery supports a safe, comfortable, and well-maintained environment for older residents, many of whom have specific accessibility and wellbeing needs.
Â
PPM programmes cover HVAC, water hygiene (including Legionella management under L8/ACOP), fire and life safety systems, lifts, and assistive call systems, delivered in accordance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and relevant Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance.
Â
Maintenance scheduling must be sensitive to residents' daily routines and mobility considerations, minimising disruption while maintaining consistent service standards.
Â
A proactive PPM strategy supports resident confidence and quality of life, while protecting the long-term value and compliance of the development for operators and freeholders.

Talk to us
Communal residential buildings fall under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, which include regular fire door checks in certain buildings. Landlords must also meet gas safety duties under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Older residents are more susceptible to Legionnaires’ disease, so water safety deserves close attention.
