EPC compliance is becoming increasingly complex, and with deadlines fast approaching, many property owners are struggling to keep pace. That’s why more businesses are turning to all-in-one service providers like UKFSL to handle everything from EPC surveys to remediation work.

With stricter energy performance regulations on the horizon, improving your building's EPC rating is no longer optional—it's essential. Whether you're managing a single commercial unit or an entire property portfolio, understanding what affects your EPC score and how to improve it can protect your assets, lower operational costs, and keep your business compliant.

What a moment. Crystal Palace’s unforgettable FA Cup final victory over Manchester City marks not just a historic achievement on the pitch — it’s a celebration of resilience, belief, and what’s possible when ambition meets opportunity. As proud members of the Crystal Palace Associate Partnership, everyone at UK Facilities Solutions is still buzzing from that final whistle.

Vacant commercial units are often viewed as low-priority assets—but in reality, they pose significant risks. Without active use or presence, these properties become prime targets for vandalism, unauthorised access, and environmental deterioration. UKFSL handles all aspects of securing and maintaining your empty units. Our process starts with on-site attendance to change locks, isolate services, and document the property’s condition. From there, we provide ongoing monitoring tailored to the property’s risks and compliance needs.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are more than just a regulatory requirement — they’re a key tool for facilities managers, property owners, and operations directors looking to protect their assets, reduce costs, and align with the UK’s net-zero targets.

Wherever you manage commercial space, understanding your responsibilities around EPCs is essential for effective property management, investment protection, and ongoing facilities maintenance.

Security systems aren’t “set and forget” assets. Like all critical infrastructure, CCTV cameras, alarms, and unit security systems need regular maintenance to perform reliably. That’s why at UKFSL, we treat security maintenance as an essential part of every client’s facilities maintenance strategy.

Vacant properties can quickly become liabilities. From squatting and break-ins to water damage and fire risk, unoccupied commercial units require proactive protection.

At UKFSL, we provide specialist void security services to help property managers and facilities managers protect their buildings during periods of vacancy — preserving value and reducing risk.

As threats to commercial properties evolve, so too must the way businesses protect their assets. UK wide, from London to Manchester, and across Sussex, Kent, Oxford, and Bristol, Facilities Managers and Operations Directors are increasingly investing in CCTV and alarm systems as part of broader facilities maintenance and property management strategies.

When it comes to property maintenance and facilities management, the words “refurbishment” and “fit-out” are often associated with short-term upgrades. But in reality, sustainable refurbishment delivers long-lasting value for businesses in a wide range of sectors.

In the UK retail sector, how your space looks and functions directly impacts sales performance. Whether you’re launching a new location or refreshing an existing shop in London, Kent, Brighton, Sussex or Bristol, a professional retail fit-out from UKFSL can dramatically improve efficiency and customer experience.

Businesses can no longer afford to overlook the importance of workplace design. A well-planned office refurbishment isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s a strategic investment that can improve staff productivity, enhance company reputation, and support long-term growth.

Managing statutory inspections is a critical part of any Facilities Manager’s or Operations Director’s role. This checklist ensures your properties in Sussex, Kent, London, Oxford, and Bristol meet all legal requirements.

Statutory inspections are more than a compliance requirement — they’re essential for the safety of every building’s occupants. As a Facilities Manager or Operations Director, you must ensure your building meets all UK legal standards to avoid risks and penalties.

For every Facilities Manager and Operations Director in the UK, ensuring statutory compliance is a top priority. Whether you manage property in London, Oxford, Bristol, Sussex, Kent, or Uckfield, understanding the required inspections is essential for safety, legal compliance, and operational efficiency.

London’s dynamic commercial environment presents unique challenges for facilities management. From historic buildings in need of modernisation to cutting-edge office spaces requiring state-of-the-art maintenance, businesses must navigate a complex landscape to ensure operational efficiency and compliance. UK Facilities Solutions offers comprehensive services designed to address these challenges head-on, providing both planned and reactive maintenance solutions tailored to the needs of London’s diverse business sectors.

At UK Facilities Solutions, we understand that maintaining your property is essential for smooth and compliant business operations. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of facilities and property maintenance services across Kent, helping local businesses keep their sites safe, efficient, and fully operational—whether you manage a single premises or a multi-site portfolio.

The facilities management sector in the UK continues to evolve rapidly, driven by shifting workplace demands, advancing technologies, and growing pressure to align operations with sustainability and compliance goals. For facilities directors, staying ahead of these trends is critical to making informed decisions, optimising performance, and delivering long-term value.

At UK Facilities Solutions, we believe in giving back to our local communities, and we’re thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the sports kits for the adult coaches at Blackboys Church of England Primary School in Uckfield, East Sussex.

UKFSL had the pleasure of attending the Crystal Palace Associate Partnership Business Lunch in February, an event that provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with other partnership members, network with regional businesses, and gain valuable insights from an inspiring interview session with former Crystal Palace striker Mark Bright.
