A maintenance report is the proof the work was done and the record of your system's health. It should list every system checked, the tests performed and results, faults found and fixed, anything that still needs attention with a priority, and recommendations, in language a manager or committee can understand.
Key takeaways
- Every visit should produce a written report.
- Results, not just 'serviced OK'.
- Open issues listed with priority.
- Trends over time show what's wearing out.

04Frequently asked questions
Should I get a report after every maintenance visit?
Yes. It's the record of what was checked and what needs attention.
What does 'serviced OK' mean?
Very little on its own. Ask for test results per system.
Can reports help with insurance?
Maintenance records can support insurance and audit requirements. Check with your insurer.
