With over 25 years of experience in the Greater London area, we take pride in providing exceptional repair and maintenance contracts. Our planned preventative maintenance (PPM) approach ensures that all assets are regularly maintained and fully compliant. Let’s dive into the key elements of our contract management for reliable service delivery.

Set-up – Master PPM Schedule, Job Allocations, RAMS Docs, and Site Base Set Up

At Artic, we understand that efficient and well-organised planning is the foundation of successful contract management. We work closely with you to create a comprehensive Master PPM Planner, meticulously detailing maintenance schedules for each asset. This planner ensures that every asset receives timely and appropriate maintenance, keeping them in working efficient condition.

Our agile approach to job allocation, using our sophisticated CAFM system, allows us to respond to reactive callouts promptly without disrupting the overall maintenance schedule. This flexibility ensures that any unexpected issues are dealt with swiftly and efficiently, minimising disruptions to your operations.

In addition, our site-specific RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statements) documents are developed to address the unique needs of your site. These documents guide our engineers, ensuring that they adhere to all safety regulations and deliver high-quality services without compromising safety.

Day-to-Day Operation

Our service operates on three tiers to ensure comprehensive coverage:

• Tier 1 – On-Site Residential Engineering Team: Our on-site engineers are dedicated to your location, providing full-time support during regular working hours. These skilled engineers are carefully selected based on their expertise to cover specific asset types. By focusing on dedicated asset types, they become specialists in their area, resulting in thorough inspections, efficient repairs, and detailed reports.
• Tier 2 – Artic Mobile Field-Based Engineering Team: To cover specific PPM processes, we deploy our experienced mobile engineering team. These engineers are strategically located throughout Greater London, enabling quick and efficient response times.

This allows for seamless communication and quick access to job details, ensuring your assets receive the best care possible.
