Security Services
Ranging from on-site guards and mobile surveillance to video monitoring and access restriction platforms, our security offerings shield your facilities, resources, and people round-the-clock.
The Compliance Benefits of Professional Facilities Management
One of the most compelling reasons to invest in professional facilities management services is the compliance protection they provide. Commercial property owners and occupiers face extensive legal obligations, and non-compliance can result in substantial fines, legal action, business interruption, and reputational damage.
Health and Safety Compliance
Facilities management companies maintain compliance with Health and Safety at Work Act requirements, ensuring regular risk assessments, safety audits, and staff training. Professional FM providers stay current with changing legislation, implementing necessary updates to policies and procedures without requiring input from your busy management team.
Statutory Testing and Inspections
Commercial properties require numerous statutory inspections and tests throughout the year. These include:
Fire risk assessments and fire safety equipment testing
Legionella risk assessments and water hygiene testing
Electrical installation condition reports (EICR) every five years
Portable appliance testing (PAT)
Gas safety inspections and boiler servicing
Asbestos management surveys and monitoring
Lift and lifting equipment examinations (LOLER)
Emergency lighting and fire alarm testing
Missing any of these inspections can result in serious consequences. Professional facilities management providers maintain comprehensive compliance calendars, scheduling all required tests automatically and maintaining detailed records that demonstrate due diligence during inspections or incidents.
Energy Performance and Environmental Regulations
With increasing focus on environmental sustainability, commercial properties must comply with Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) requirements, and emissions reporting obligations. Experienced FM providers help improve energy performance through efficient building management, reducing both environmental impact and operational costs while maintaining compliance.
Building Regulations and Planning Requirements
Any alterations, extensions, or changes to building use require compliance with building regulations and planning permissions. Facilities management companies coordinate necessary applications, engage qualified contractors, and ensure all work meets regulatory standards.
Insurance Requirements
Most commercial insurance policies require evidence of regular maintenance, safety testing, and compliance activities. Professional facilities management provides the documented proof insurers require, helping avoid policy invalidation and ensuring smooth claims processes when needed.
Duty Holder Responsibilities
Under various regulations, building owners and managers hold specific "duty holder" responsibilities for safety management. Facilities management providers can assume many of these responsibilities, providing properly qualified persons to manage compliance activities and reducing personal liability for business owners and directors.
