Maintaining a property isn’t just about fixing problems when they happen. It’s about preventing issues before they occur. For landlords and facilities managers, knowing how often to schedule property maintenance is essential for staying compliant, avoiding unexpected costs, and protecting your investment.
At Go2 Property Services, we support property professionals across London and the South East with reliable, year-round maintenance. In this guide, we’ll break down how often you should schedule key maintenance tasks and why it matters.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Reactive repairs often cost more than planned preventive maintenance (PPM). A leaking pipe caught early is a quick fix. Left too long, it can damage walls, flooring, and electrics. Regular checks:
- Reduce the risk of emergency repairs
- Extend the life of your property’s systems and structure
- Keep tenants happy and safe
- Help you meet legal obligations (especially important for rental properties)
Monthly, Quarterly & Annual Checks: A Quick Breakdown
Here’s a simple maintenance schedule landlords and facilities managers can follow:
Monthly
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
- Check communal lighting
- Inspect visible pipework for leaks
- Ensure fire exits and doors are clear and functional
Quarterly
- Service air conditioning and ventilation units
- Test electrical sockets in communal or commercial areas
- Clean gutters and inspect roofs (especially after bad weather)
- Inspect damp-prone areas for signs of mould or mildew
Annually
- Book a gas safety inspection (legal requirement for landlords)
- Have the boiler serviced
- Test the full fire alarm system (commercial and multi-unit blocks)
- Schedule a full property condition report
Need help staying on top of these? Go2 can create a tailored maintenance plan that suits your property type and tenant needs.
Key Areas Not to Miss
Some maintenance issues are easily overlooked — until they become a problem:
- Roofing and guttering: Cracked tiles or blocked gutters lead to leaks and water damage
- Electrics: Outdated wiring increases fire risk
- Heating systems: Inefficient boilers mean higher bills and complaints
- Timber elements: Untreated wood can rot or attract pests
- Ventilation: Poor airflow causes damp, especially in kitchens and bathrooms
These areas should be included in regular inspections, especially for older buildings.
