The regulatory surface, specifically.

A CQC-regulated care home sits inside more than a dozen overlapping statutory regimes. Each one has a specific frequency, a specific evidence requirement, and a specific failure mode that lands in the next CQC report.

What goes wrong in care home maintenance, specifically.

The records problem

Gas safety, LOLER and PAT records live across paper logbooks, a contractor's email PDFs, and a maintenance manager's head. CQC environmental ratings drop when records are partial — even if the maintenance itself was done.

The Saturday-night hoist failure

Hoists and profiling beds get serviced inconsistently. A failed hoist on a Saturday night means agency-rate cover and, sometimes, a safeguarding referral.

The Legionella clipboard

Weekly outlet temperature checks are signed off in a clipboard that is hard to find on inspection day. MainMan moves that to a mobile sign-off with a photo, a timestamp, and an automatic exception list of any outlet that's overdue.

The audit-week sprint

Three days before a CQC visit, every spreadsheet gets reconstructed from memory. MainMan's compliance pack is a one-click PDF from the live record, with photographic evidence captured at every sign-off.

What good looks like.

A care home running MainMan has a single asset register the manager and the engineer share, statutory checks scheduled on a rolling calendar with photographic evidence captured at sign-off, and a one-tap compliance pack ready for the inspector. Three days of paperwork becomes three minutes.
