What areas do you cover?

ARI Maintenance covers all of London and the M25 corridor, including Central, East, South, West, and North London, plus Essex towns such as Grays, Romford, and surrounding areas. We are based in Grays, Essex, and most London jobs are reached within the hour during standard working hours.

Why use a multi-trade company instead of individual tradespeople?

One phone call, one company, multiple trades. You avoid the hassle of coordinating separate plumbers, electricians, and handymen. We manage everything internally, which means faster scheduling, consistent quality, and a single point of accountability if anything needs revisiting.

Are you insured and accredited?

Yes. ARI Maintenance Ltd is fully insured with public liability cover, registered at Companies House (No. 16313436), and verified on Checkatrade with a 9.94/10 rating. We carry all required trade certifications for the services we offer.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents?

Absolutely. We work with landlords, letting agents, and property management companies across London. Our planned preventative maintenance contracts are specifically designed for landlords who need consistent, scheduled upkeep across multiple properties.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency?

We offer a 24-hour emergency call-out service for urgent plumbing and property issues. During standard hours (Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm), we aim to respond within the hour for emergencies within the M25. Out-of-hours calls are answered and triaged immediately.

Do you provide free quotes?

Yes. Every quote is free and provided with no obligation. We give you a clear, written estimate before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect. Call 07796 382957 or email bookings@arimaintenance.co.uk to request yours.

How do I know what tradesperson I actually need?

You do not need to know. That is the whole point of a multi-trade company. Call us, describe the problem, and we will send the right person. If a job turns out to need a different trade mid-way through, we handle the handoff internally without you having to rebook.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance contracts?

Yes. Our PPM (planned preventative maintenance) contracts are popular with landlords, commercial property managers, and letting agents. We schedule regular visits to inspect and maintain your property so small issues get caught before they become expensive problems.

PPM Contracts — What Planned Preventive Maintenance Actually Means

Planned preventive maintenance (PPM) is the contracted, scheduled servicing and inspection of a property's systems and fabric — gas safety, electrical compliance, water hygiene, fire safety, structural fabric — carried out on a calendar set against statutory deadlines and known wear cycles. The aim is to catch faults before they become repair callouts, to keep certificates current ahead of expiry, and to make annual maintenance spend predictable instead of reactive. PPM is the model commercial facilities management has used for decades; private-rental landlords and managing agents have adopted it over the last 5 years as compliance volume has increased.

For UK rental property the legal floor includes annual gas safety, 5-yearly EICR, working smoke and CO alarms at every tenancy start, and water-hygiene risk assessment. Above that floor, every property has its own wear pattern — gutters, boilers, drainage, fabric — that benefits from a calendar.

Scheduled Compliance

Never miss a gas safety or EICR renewal deadline again.

What a Typical PPM Schedule Includes

Every PPM contract is tailored to your property, but a typical residential schedule includes:

Annual gas safety check

Legally required for all rental properties in England

5-yearly EICR inspection

Mandatory for landlords since July 2020

Quarterly gutter clearing

Prevents water damage, damp, and blocked drainage

Seasonal boiler service

Maintains efficiency and extends boiler life

Smoke and CO alarm testing

Legally required at the start of every new tenancy

Emergency light testing

For HMOs and commercial properties

Legionella risk assessment

Landlord duty of care under HSE guidance

General property condition inspection

Catches small issues before they become expensive emergencies

We build your schedule around your legal obligations and the specific needs of your property. Nothing unnecessary is included — you pay for what your property actually needs.

Who PPM Contracts Are For

Private Landlords

Whether you manage one flat or a portfolio of twenty properties, a PPM contract keeps you compliant with gas, electrical, and fire safety regulations without having to remember every deadline yourself.

Letting Agents & Managing Agents

We work as your maintenance arm. One point of contact, nine trades on call, detailed reporting after every visit, and priority reactive response when tenants report issues between scheduled maintenance.

Commercial Property Owners

Offices, retail units, and mixed-use buildings need regular maintenance to stay safe, functional, and welcoming. We handle the lot — from plumbing and electrics to decorating and general repairs.

Homeowners

You do not have to be a landlord to benefit. Our homeowner PPM packages cover the essentials that keep your property in peak condition: boiler servicing, gutter clearing, annual inspection, and minor repairs caught early before they escalate.

The Benefits of a PPM Contract

Compliance guaranteed

We track your gas, electrical, and fire safety deadlines so you never miss a certificate renewal

Predictable costs

Fixed monthly payment instead of unpredictable emergency bills

Priority reactive maintenance

When something breaks between scheduled visits, PPM customers go to the front of the queue

Discounted labour rates

Reactive work for PPM customers is billed at reduced rates

30-40% fewer emergency call-outs

Regular maintenance catches problems early

Single point of contact

Nine trades, one company, one invoice per month

Detailed reporting

Photos, findings, and recommendations after every visit

How It Works

Property audit

We visit your property (or portfolio) and assess exactly what maintenance is needed. This is free and comes with a written report.

Bespoke schedule

We build a maintenance calendar around your compliance deadlines, seasonal requirements, and budget. You review and approve before anything starts.

We handle the rest

Our team carries out all scheduled maintenance, sends you reports, tracks certificate expiry dates, and responds to reactive issues as they arise. You get a single monthly invoice covering everything.

Why London Landlords and Agents Use ARI for PPM

According to the UK Government's Electrical Safety in the Private Rented Sector guidance, landlords face fines of up to a bespoke price for failing to maintain a current EICR, and similar penalties exist for missed gas safety renewals under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. The compliance burden is the single biggest reason landlords with 3+ properties switch from reactive maintenance to a PPM contract — one expiring certificate forgotten can cost more than a year of contract fees.

Our PPM contract customers receive automatic certificate-expiry reminders, scheduled gas/EICR/water-hygiene visits, priority reactive response between visits, and discounted labour on out-of-schedule work. 5.0 stars across 27 Google reviews and 9.94/10 across 32 Checkatrade reviews.

“The reason PPM works is not the maintenance itself — it is the calendar. A landlord with three properties has roughly 27 separate compliance dates in a year between gas, EICR, smoke alarms, water hygiene, and certificate renewals. The single biggest fine I see come up is from one of those 27 dates getting missed because nobody owns the diary. PPM puts one team on that diary.”

Frequently Asked Questions — PPM Contracts

What is planned preventive maintenance (PPM)?

PPM is a proactive approach where regular inspections and maintenance tasks are scheduled throughout the year to prevent breakdowns and keep your property compliant. Instead of waiting for things to fail, we catch small issues early — saving you money on emergency repairs, maintaining property value, and keeping your tenants happy and safe.

What are the benefits of a PPM contract vs calling tradespeople as needed?

A PPM contract gives you priority response times, consistent quality from a team that knows your property, guaranteed compliance with safety regulations, and predictable monthly costs instead of unpredictable repair bills. Properties on PPM contracts typically have 30-40% fewer emergency call-outs and higher tenant satisfaction.

What does a typical PPM schedule include?

Our PPM schedules are tailored to your property but typically include annual gas safety checks, 5-yearly EICR inspections, quarterly gutter clearing, seasonal boiler servicing, smoke and CO alarm testing, emergency light testing, legionella risk assessments, and general property condition inspections. We build a schedule around your legal obligations and the specific needs of your property.

Is PPM only for landlords or can homeowners benefit too?

Both. Landlords need PPM for legal compliance and tenant retention. Homeowners benefit from regular maintenance that prevents costly emergency repairs and keeps their home in peak condition. Our homeowner PPM packages are lighter than landlord ones but cover the essentials — boiler service, gutter clearing, general inspection, and minor repairs.

How much does a PPM contract cost?

PPM contract costs depend on the property type, number of units, and services included. A single residential property starts from around a bespoke price-a bespoke price per month. Multi-unit portfolios receive volume discounts. ARI Maintenance provides a bespoke quote based on your property audit — we only include what you actually need, nothing unnecessary.

Can I add reactive maintenance to my PPM contract?

Yes. All our PPM contracts include priority reactive maintenance — when something breaks unexpectedly, you go to the front of the queue. We offer guaranteed response times for PPM customers and discounted labour rates for reactive work. This combination of planned and reactive cover means your property is always looked after.
