Case Study: Planned Preventative Maintenance for APM Monaco – Hampstead Boutique
Client:
APM Monaco – Luxury Jewellery Brand
Location: Hampstead, London
Project Type: Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
System Serviced: Commercial Air Conditioning System
Overview
Luxury retail environments demand more than just exceptional design — they require flawless operational performance behind the scenes. This is especially true when it comes to climate control, which directly impacts customer comfort, staff wellbeing, and the preservation of delicate, high-value products.
This past weekend, our team was entrusted with carrying out Planned Preventative Maintenance on the A/C system at APM Monaco’s Hampstead boutique — a location that embodies premium brand standards and a refined in-store experience.
Client Needs
As a global jewellery brand, APM Monaco places a strong emphasis on ambience and environmental control. Their Hampstead store features premium interiors and showcases precious items that require consistent temperature and humidity levels.
Our brief was clear:
Complete scheduled PPM without disrupting retail operations
Ensure the system performs efficiently and quietly
Identify and resolve any early-stage issues before they escalate
With the boutique operating seven days a week, timing and discretion were key. We scheduled the works over the weekend to allow for uninterrupted trading during business hours.
Scope of Work
Our certified team delivered a full-service maintenance package tailored to the demands of the site, including:
✅ System-wide inspection of indoor and outdoor AC units, electrical connections, and controllers
✅ Filter cleaning to improve airflow and maintain indoor air quality
✅ Performance testing and temperature calibration to verify even cooling throughout the store
✅ Preventative diagnostics to catch early signs of wear, leaks, or component fatigue
✅ Visual and operational checks to ensure seamless integration with the store’s aesthetic and acoustic requirements
Outcomes
The maintenance was completed on time, on budget, and with zero disruption to the client’s operations. Following the service, the air conditioning system is now operating at peak efficiency, offering:
🔹 Improved energy performance
🔹 Consistent climate control to protect merchandise
🔹 Enhanced customer and staff comfort
🔹 Reduced risk of unplanned breakdowns during peak trading periods
