Bespoke Maintenance Solutions that work for you

SFG20 gives you compliance. Condition-based maintenance gives you efficiency. CMSL gives you both.

Why Bespoke Maintenance Solutions matter

Most maintenance plans stop at SFG20, giving you compliance but not efficiency. CMSL takes it further. We make sure your building is safe and legally covered, then tailor the maintenance around how your assets actually perform. This means you avoid unnecessary visits, catch faults earlier and get a programme that reflects the true needs of your equipment, not just a calendar.

Our process

  • Step 1: Organise and comply

We start by building your complete SFG20 maintenance plan. Every statutory requirement is identified and scheduled, so you begin with a safe, structured and fully compliant PPM. Nothing is missed and you have a clear calendar for all planned activity.

  • Step 2: Understand and adapt

Once compliance is secure, we focus on how your assets actually behave. Performance trends and engineer insights show us where tasks can be reduced, increased or redirected, making the plan reflect real-world conditions rather than fixed intervals.

Example:

• A consistently stable fan coil has its service interval extended to avoid unnecessary visits

 

• A booster set showing pressure drift has its service brought forward to prevent a failure

This creates tailored asset management based on actual plant performance.

  • Step 3: Refine and optimise

We review performance over time and refine the plan.

This removes wasted hours, improves reliability and ensures engineering time is deployed where it’s needed most.

Daryl Cowley, Facilities Manager, IRIS
Cambridge Maintenance have been with us for some time now and I’m very impressed with how professional and helpful both their engineers and Helpdesk team are. Mark Woolhouse, our site engineer, is one of the most professional, helpful, and nicest people I have ever worked with. He always ensures everyone is happy and follows up thoroughly on any issues. Mark is a great asset to the company. The Helpdesk Advisors are equally outstanding—always available, professional, and willing to help explain things further when needed. Melissa, in particular, has been brilliant, always happy to help and quick to resolve any concerns. I cannot thank the CMSL team enough.
Joanna, Security, PORTICO

“CMSL couldn’t have handled it better. The Helpdesk and Out of Hours Helpdesk were quick to respond during a recent out of hours callout, and the reactive communication since has been clear, professional, and consistent.”

Adam Mayes, Facilities Manager Cambridge Central Mosque

CMSL went above and beyond to resolve an issue for us quickly. The engineer was patient, professional, and even sourced a replacement part on the spot rather than waiting for delivery, ensuring minimal disruption. We are very grateful for the effort and the outstanding service provided.

Lauren Dillon, Workspace Experience Manager, MAPP (London Head Office)
I can highly recommend Cambridge Maintenance Services from my experience working with them at 55 Bishopsgate. We had a three-man static team along with various subcontractors, and I also used their mobile services at Eldon House and 4 Moorgate. 

Their engineering advice is solid and reliable, and you can tell that the account managers have hands-on experience, which really supports the site teams. They are quick to respond to reactive issues and have never missed a KPI at my managed building. 

Cambridge Maintenance Services also has a large pool of specialist subcontractors. They were able to select the right contractors to suit the tenant's needs, and they have excellent cover for annual leave and sickness. Paul Younan in particular has been helpful in identifying problem areas and offering solutions that provide real value, including advice on energy-saving devices.

It’s always a pleasure working with Carla and Maisie. Their response to a recent sprinkler issue was quick, practical, and professional. The CMSL engineer on site also offered to help without hesitation, which really reflects the team’s supportive and proactive approach. 
Richard Ryan, Centre Manager, Clifton Down Shopping Centre

Since starting my new role at Crossgates in January, I’ve been hugely impressed with the support received from CMSL. Sarah Hodgson, in particular, has been an incredible help—always professional, approachable, and quick to provide the information and assistance I need when booking jobs. Her support has made a real difference for both myself and Ian at Crossgates. A huge thank you to Sarah and the CMSL team.
