Pump failures rarely happen at a convenient time. They tend to show up mid-shift, in bad weather, right before a deadline, or on a site that’s already running flat out. And once a critical pump goes down, the knock-on effects don’t take long to show up: an emergency call-out, delayed works, a compliance headache, and a bill that’s bigger than it needed to be.

The Sykes Care maintenance package closes exactly that gap. It’s a structured servicing and monitoring agreement that keeps pumps running safely and compliantly, without waiting for something to break first, catching issues early, keeping equipment lasting longer, and keeping whole-life costs down.
In short: if your business depends on pumps, Sykes Care turns maintenance from firefighting into something you can actually plan around.
What Is the Sykes Care Maintenance Package?
A Sykes Care maintenance package is a planned service agreement that keeps your pump in optimum working condition throughout its lifecycle. Rather than waiting for something to go wrong, our engineers carry out scheduled inspections and servicing designed to prevent breakdowns, reduce whole-life running costs, and keep your operation compliant.
Every site is different, so we tailor your package to your equipment, application and operational requirements, from a single pump to a complex, multi-pump installation.
What’s Included With Every Sykes Care Package?
No matter which level you choose, every Sykes Care agreement includes:
- Scheduled Service Visits – planned around your operation, not ours
- 40-Point Mechanical & Electrical Inspection – nothing gets missed
- Comprehensive Service Reports – full condition and lifecycle insight after every visit
- Direct Access to Technical Specialists – expert advice whenever you need it
- Priority Access to Replacement Parts – no waiting when it matters most
- 24/7 Response – round-the-clock support built in from day one
Choose the Package That Fits Your Operation
Sykes Care Standard

Parts and labour for a complete pump service, including a comprehensive 40-point inspection, OEM-approved parts, 24/7 response, full service reporting, preferential pricing on Sykes parts, and access to standby hire pumps.
Sykes Care Plus (most popular)

Everything included in Standard, plus full remote monitoring: 24/7 telemetry on your pump, weekly status reports, automated failure alerts, expert advice following alarm events, and priority emergency response. It’s the option most customers choose when downtime simply isn’t an option.
Why Planned Maintenance Pays for Itself
Reactive maintenance almost always costs more in the long run. Here’s what a Sykes Care maintenance package protects you from:
| Reduces Unplanned Costs | Emergency call-outs, rushed parts orders, reactive repair – none of it comes cheap. With servicing planned and priority access to parts and support, those costs stay under control instead of showing up as a surprise on next month’s invoice. |
| Protects Productivity | pump going down for even an hour can ripple through the rest of the operation. Scheduled maintenance means downtime happens on your terms, planned, minimal, and managed, rather than whenever the pump decides to fail. |
| Supports Compliance | On sites dealing with water, wastewater, drainage or flood management, a pump failure isn’t just inconvenient; it can trigger an environmental incident or a compliance breach. Clear, detailed service reports keep your records straight and ready for audit whenever they’re needed. |
| Extends Equipment Life | Pumps that are serviced regularly simply last longer. Routine maintenance cuts down on avoidable wear, keeps efficiency up, and brings whole-life costs down over time. |

FAQs
What is the difference between Sykes Care Standard and Sykes Care Plus?
Sykes Care Standard covers planned servicing, reports, parts access and 24/7 response. Sykes Care Plus includes all Standard features plus 24/7 remote monitoring, weekly status reports and automated failure alerts.
How often will my pump be serviced?
There’s no fixed calendar. We schedule visits around your operation rather than ours. The right frequency depends on your equipment and how hard it’s working, so your engineer will agree a schedule with you when you set up the package.
Is 24/7 support included in every package?
Round-the-clock response is standard from Sykes Care Standard upwards. Sykes Care Plus goes a step further with remote monitoring and automated alerts, so it often flags issues before you’d notice them yourself.
Do I get a replacement pump if mine breaks down?
Yes. Sykes Care includes access to standby hire pumps, so your operation can keep running the moment we identify a fault, rather than sitting idle while we carry out a repair.
