Hard Facilities Management for
Care Homes in London & Kent
Tailored PPM services for residential care homes and nursing homes
In care homes, hard FM planned preventative maintenance (PPM) delivery is fundamental to resident safety, dignity, and wellbeing in environments housing some of the most vulnerable members of the community.
Â
PPM programmes cover HVAC, water hygiene (including Legionella management under L8/ACOP), fire and life safety systems, nurse call and assistive technology infrastructure, and general building fabric, delivered in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulations, and Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
Â
Given the occupancy profile of residents with reduced mobility or additional care needs, maintenance must be delivered sensitively and with minimal disruption to daily routines.
Â
Consistent, well-documented PPM delivery supports both regulatory compliance and the safe, comfortable living environment that residents and their families expect.

Staying compliant
Care providers regulated by the Care Quality Commission must show that premises are safe and well maintained under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets out fire safety duties, and vulnerable residents are at higher risk from waterborne bacteria such as legionella. We keep your certificates and test logs organised and ready for inspection.
