What is cyclical maintenance?
Cyclical maintenance refers to planned, recurring maintenance tasks carried out at regular intervals to ensure housing assets remain safe, compliant and in good condition. Unlike reactive repairs, cyclical maintenance is proactive, reducing the risk of costly failures and extending the lifespan of components.
Benefits of cyclical maintenance:
- Improved compliance: Ensures statutory checks and servicing are completed on time.
- Cost control: Reduces emergency repairs and unplanned expenditure.
- Asset longevity: Extends the life of key components through regular upkeep.
Use cases:
- Gas servicing: Annual checks to maintain safety and meet legal requirements.
- Fire safety inspections: Regular testing of alarms, extinguishers and emergency lighting.
- Painting and decorating cycles: Maintaining property condition and tenant satisfaction.
Key components:
- Planned schedules: Create and manage recurring maintenance plans for multiple properties.
- Automated reminders: Trigger alerts for upcoming servicing and inspections.
- Integrated workflows: Link cyclical tasks with compliance and asset management modules.
- Reporting dashboards: Monitor progress and identify overdue tasks in real time.
