Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

A school building is your biggest asset, but it can also be your biggest headache if it isn’t managed properly. Our PPM service is designed to keep your site weather-tight, safe, and secure.

The last thing you need as a school’s Facilities Manager is unplanned repairs and maintenance to take place during term time as emergency work may close the school and often incur additional costs.

Having a PPM schedule with W&W means you aren’t just reacting to problems—you’re stopping them before they start.

External Grounds & Maintenance

We protect your building from the outside in, managing everything from gutter clearance and drainage inspections to ensuring walkways and paving remain safe and trip-free for staff and pupils.

Fire Safety & Compliance

From routine fire alarm and smoke detector testing to detailed fire door audits, we ensure your site meets all safety regulations and stays fully compliant.

Routine Building & Fabric Maintenance

We keep the core of your building in top shape by looking after the “wear and tear”—including internal decorating, joinery repairs, and regular inspections of floors, ceilings, and ironmongery.

Electrical, HVAC & Mechanical

Our team handles the technical essentials that keep a school running, including PAT testing, fixed-wire inspections, and the ongoing servicing of your heating and ventilation systems.

Water Hygiene & Plumbing

We manage your water safety obligations, including Legionella monitoring and temperature checks, alongside general plumbing repairs to keep your facilities operational.

Soft FM Services

To ensure a clean and pest-free educational environment, we provide professional pest control treatments and general site-care services tailored to your school’s specific needs.

Statutory Compliance & Annual Essentials

Staying on top of your legal obligations is the foundation of a well-run school.
