Repairs and maintenance policy
Cyclical maintenance
These are works carried out on regular planned cycles for the servicing, inspection and testing of equipment, often as required by statute or regulations or to maintain the generation condition of the stock.
The Council carries out cyclical maintenance to ensure that appliances and equipment are maintained to safe operating standards and to comply with legislation and associated guidance.
Examples of cyclical maintenance include:
- Servicing of gas heating systems/installations (to include the statutory requirement for an annual gas safety check).
- Smoke detector testing
- Servicing of communal boilers.
- Periodic inspection of electrical installations.
- External painting and the decoration of internal communal areas.
- Servicing of passenger lifts and stair lifts
- Water hygiene and legionella testing
