Planned preventative maintenance is essential for reducing risk across commercial and multi-site estates. From fire doors and life-safety systems to HVAC filters and plant, structured maintenance programmes support compliance, protect occupants, and reduce reactive maintenance across retail, office, education, hospitality, care, and residential environments.

On-site facilities management teams play a critical role in maintaining safe, efficient, and compliant commercial buildings. From planned preventative maintenance and rapid issue resolution to compliance support and operational continuity, on-site facilities teams provide the local knowledge and immediate response that large and multi-site estates rely on. Discover why investing in people is just as important as investing in buildings.

Discover how asset tracking and FM technology are transforming facilities management, improving compliance, reducing reactive maintenance, and controlling costs.

A new year is the perfect time for businesses to take stock — not just of goals and budgets, but of the buildings and systems that keep operations running smoothly. Whether you manage a single site or a national estate, having a clear maintenance strategy in place from day one sets the foundation for a safe, efficient, and compliant year ahead.

For facilities managers overseeing multi-site or high-occupancy buildings, maintaining comfort and performance while controlling expenditure is a critical balance. Effective energy management during December and January not only reduces operational costs but also supports sustainability targets and long-term asset performance.

As the festive season approaches, many businesses experience significant changes in how their sites are used.

Retailers extend trading hours, offices host seasonal events, and industrial sites may close for short periods or operate with reduced staff.

These shifts can increase both fire risk and compliance challenges — making it essential for facilities managers to ensure systems are safe, tested, and fully operational before the holiday period begins.

At UK Facilities Solutions, we work with businesses across the UK to maintain compliance, protect people, and keep operations running safely all year round.

This Christmas, UK Facilities Solutions has chosen to give back to a cause close to our hearts.
Instead of sending corporate gifts, we’re donating to a local organisation that makes a real difference to families across our community — The Children’s Respite Trust, based in Uckfield, East Sussex.

As a company that values care, community, and meaningful support, we’re proud to contribute to the Trust’s vital work and invite others to join us in making an impact this festive season.

The Christmas period brings a unique set of challenges for UK businesses. From bustling retail spaces and busy distribution centres to office buildings managing seasonal demand and holiday schedules, facilities teams play a crucial role in keeping operations running smoothly.

When systems are under pressure and demand is high, effective facilities management ensures safety, efficiency, and business continuity — even during the busiest time of the year.

Planned maintenance is more than compliance — it’s a strategic tool for efficiency, sustainability, and long-term business performance. By combining proactive asset care with 24/7 reactive support, UK Facilities Solutions helps organisations reduce costs, meet ESG goals, and maintain safe, reliable, and compliant buildings.

Safety, security, and compliance are the three pillars of effective facilities management. From fire safety and statutory inspections to CCTV and access control, integrating these systems protects people, property, and business operations.

Refurbishment is no longer just about appearance — it’s about performance.

Neglecting planned maintenance can cost your business more than you think. From downtime and compliance risks to reputation damage, poor upkeep impacts brand trust and productivity across retail, education, and commercial sectors. Discover how proactive maintenance protects assets, people, and profits.

Although Awaab’s Law currently applies only to social housing providers, its introduction marks a significant shift in how the UK approaches housing safety, health, and accountability.

For commercial and private landlords, this legislation provides an important signal: higher expectations are coming. The principles behind Awaab’s Law – timely repairs, proactive maintenance, and clear tenant communication – represent best practice standards that every landlord should start implementing now.

Too often, plumbing and gas maintenance are viewed as a back-office expense, something to deal with only when things go wrong. In reality, professional support in these areas is a strategic business investment—delivering measurable returns in cost savings, reduced downtime, compliance, and reputation.

A small leak, a blocked toilet, or a burst pipe may seem like minor inconveniences, but left unchecked, they can lead to major disruption, significant costs, and even reputational damage. That’s why proactive plumbing maintenance should be seen as an essential part of facilities management—not an afterthought.

On Saturday 26th July, athletes, spectators, and organisers came together for a day of incredible strength, determination, and community spirit at the South East’s Strongest competition, hosted by Gover Gym in Broad Oak, East Sussex.

We’re excited to announce that UK Facilities Solutions is kicking off a new season of Associate Partnership with Crystal Palace Football Club for the 2025/26 campaign, in collaboration with sports rights specialist Eleven Sports Media.

Service yards and access roads are operational lifelines—critical for deliveries, waste collection, logistics, and day-to-day access. When these areas fail, so does your site’s functionality.

At UK Facilities Solutions, we provide specialist service yard and access road maintenance to keep your operations moving safely and efficiently.

A well-maintained roadway is more than a smooth drive—it’s a statement about how your business values safety, presentation, and operational excellence. From potholes to barriers, every detail counts when it comes to protecting people and assets on your premises.

At UK Facilities Solutions, we deliver full-service roadway maintenance, repair, and upgrades across the UK. Whether it’s a corporate office, retail park, industrial estate, or public-sector site, we ensure your access roads are functional, compliant, and visually professional.
