ASL RICS Chartered Surveyors

A Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Survey is a forward-thinking strategy for managing and maintaining buildings. It helps property owners and occupiers identify potential issues early and take preventative action to reduce unexpected costs while extending the building’s lifespan.

A PPM Survey is a detailed assessment of a building or property to identify and plan necessary maintenance work over a defined period.

Typically covering a period of 5 to 10 years, a PPM Survey provides a detailed assessment of the condition of a property, highlights current and potential future issues, and outlines a schedule of maintenance tasks.

The report enables effective budgeting and long-term management, ensuring a property remains functional, safe, and prevents deterioration or costly repairs.

Purpose of Planned Preventative Maintenance Surveys

The primary goal of a PPM Survey is to ensure that a property remains safe, operational, and compliant while minimising unexpected costs and disruptions.

By addressing maintenance needs proactively, it helps property owners and managers plan budgets effectively and maintain asset value.

Hear From Our Customers

I got ASL to provide a valuation on a property I was purchasing and following their advice I was made aware of a number of repairs which resulted in a lower valuation than the agreed purchase price. I was able to negotiate a new purchase price saving £12,000. The service was quick, efficient and friendly.

Cannot fault the service received from Nick at ASL Surveyors. He ensured that the whole process was quick, efficient and stress free. I had my report back within a few days so I honestly couldn’t recommend him and this company enough. Thank you!!

I used ASL for my recent home purchase. Complete transparency and efficient communication was achieved throughout. I received my full report in a timely fashion and couldn’t recommend the company more to anyone looking to use their services.

We recently agreed a private sale on a bungalow in Gateacre, as there was no agent involved, we were advised to at least get a Home Survey. Gabriella arranged this quickly and we received the report a couple of days after the survey was done. It was really detailed but explained perfectly and the scoring system allowed us to understand it better. We had a couple of questions which James answered on a phone call a few days after. Excellent service throughout, thanks to all involved.

As a firm we highly recommend ASL Chartered Surveyors, rely on their service and we will continue to do so in the future. We have used ASL Chartered Surveyors for our housing disrepair clientele and they always deliver in accordance with the protocol. We are confident in the service ASL Chartered Surveyors provides, and we have always found them to be reliable, approachable and professional – they never hesitate to assist us and indeed our clients with any queries we may have collectively throughout the process.

I can’t fault the service we received and have had a really positive experience with the company. The guys carried out an extensive search on our property and provided a thorough report. On moving in we noticed a couple of issues that we wanted some more information on and contacted them to advise. Mal and Danny came straight out to do another check and were extremely friendly and helpful and gave us some useful tips on how to solve the issues. The service has been very professional and they are clearly a very reputable company to make a second visit and reassure us.
