We provide planned maintenance consultancy for housing associations across London, helping asset teams, property managers and housing providers develop structured, condition-led maintenance programmes that align repair priorities with available budgets and long-term estate objectives.
Our approach focuses on practical planning rather than abstract schedules. We assess current condition through building condition surveys for housing associations, identify where maintenance investment is most needed, and help housing providers build a phased programme that reduces reactive spend, manages risk across occupied stock and supports defensible decision-making on capital works.
This service is typically instructed where a housing provider needs to move from reactive or unclear maintenance arrangements toward a more structured, prioritised programme that reflects actual condition and available resources.
Review of current building condition across the estate, identifying defects, deterioration trends and maintenance liabilities that need to be addressed.
Distinguishing between urgent repairs, planned cyclical works, medium-term capital items and longer-term replacement needs.
Building a phased maintenance programme with clear timescales, cost estimates and a practical sequence that reflects both condition and budget.
Helping housing providers take the maintenance programme forward into specification, tendering and contractor appointment.
A condition-led maintenance programme gives housing associations a clearer basis for allocating resources, managing risk across occupied stock and demonstrating that repair decisions are proportionate, prioritised and technically sound. Where fire safety obligations also apply, maintenance planning should account for passive fire protection alongside general fabric repairs.
We agree the scope with the housing provider, clarifying which buildings, estates or stock groups need assessment and what the maintenance programme needs to support.
We carry out condition reviews across the relevant stock, recording defects, deterioration trends and maintenance liabilities.
We assess findings by urgency, likely consequence of delay and cost significance to build a clear prioritisation framework.
We develop a phased maintenance programme with timescales, cost guidance and a practical delivery sequence.
Where needed, we support the housing provider with specification, tendering and contractor appointment for the works identified.
A housing association instructing a planned maintenance review across an estate of 12 blocks where cyclical maintenance has fallen behind and reactive costs have risen.
An asset team needing a phased programme to sequence roof, window and external wall works across occupied stock over a 5-year period within a fixed annual budget.
A housing provider that has completed condition surveys and now needs the findings translated into a structured, costed maintenance programme for board approval.
A registered provider needing a maintenance programme for recently acquired housing stock where condition data is limited and repair priorities are unclear.

View SectorA condition survey identifies current defects and repair liabilities. Planned maintenance consultancy takes that further by building a structured, phased programme with priorities, timescales and cost guidance that housing providers can use for budgeting and procurement.
Yes. A structured programme helps shift spending from reactive to planned works, which is typically more cost-effective and reduces the risk of emergency interventions.
Most programmes cover 5 to 10 years, but the right horizon depends on the estate, the condition of the stock and the housing provider's planning and budgeting cycle.
Yes. We can support specification, tendering, tender evaluation and contractor appointment as part of a follow-on instruction.
Yes. Budget guidance and cost prioritisation are included so that housing providers have a practical basis for resource planning.
Yes. We regularly work across multi-block and multi-estate instructions where a consistent approach to condition assessment and maintenance planning is needed.
