Our specialist team delivers customised solutions for every property size—from modest offices to expansive industrial sites—guaranteeing operational efficiency and complete compliance.
Hard FM Services - Essential Building Maintenance
Hard facilities management focuses on the physical assets and critical systems that keep commercial properties operational. Our full-spectrum hard FM services feature:

Regular upkeep of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, electrical infrastructure, and mechanical equipment delivers optimum functionality and energy savings. Our qualified technicians operate preventative maintenance frameworks that catch potential issues before they escalate into costly failures, reducing disruption and lengthening equipment life expectancy.

From urgent interventions to regular servicing, our Plymouth-based plumbing professionals manage all tasks including leak tracing, pipe servicing, and full drainage oversight. Fast reaction times limit water damage severity, protecting both premises and business operations.
Building Fabric Maintenance in Plymouth
Your commercial building's soundness needs regular maintenance. Our fabric maintenance encompasses roof repairs, window and door upkeep, external surfaces, interior walls, and general building work. Routine inspections and immediate action prevent small problems progressing into major structural complications.
Fire Protection Systems
Fire alarm verification, emergency illumination checks, extinguisher servicing, and sprinkler maintenance are vital safety components. Our accredited Plymouth specialists guarantee all fire safety equipment meets regulatory standards and functions properly.
Lift and Escalator Contractors in Plymouth
Commercial premises with multiple floors need consistent vertical transport. Our service contracts provide regular maintenance, safety checks, and continuous emergency callout to maintain lift systems operating safely and effectively.
Soft FM Services - Creating Better Workplaces
Soft facilities management services focus on producing pristine, welcoming, and productive work environments. Our soft FM service range encompasses:
Commercial Cleaning Services
Skilled cleaning services maintain sanitation benchmarks and establish positive opening impressions for customers and staff. Our cleaning professionals provide routine office servicing, intensive cleaning, specialist floor treatments, window maintenance operations, and restroom services designed for your requirements and operational hours.
Reception and Front of House Services
First contact points are significant in business operations. Our professional receptionists offer hospitable reception area services, visitor administration, security clearance, and clerical functions that portray your company positively.
Grounds Maintenance and Landscaping
Well-managed outdoor environments improve site presentation and foster pleasant working conditions. Our grounds maintenance features grass care, seasonal planting programmes, shrub maintenance, tree surgery services, ice management services, and car park care.
Waste Management and Recycling
Effective waste processing minimises environmental footprint and maintains observance of waste statutes. We establish integrated waste and recycling initiatives that satisfy sustainability targets whilst maintaining financial efficiency.
Security Services
From stationed security personnel and roving patrols to CCTV systems and entry control mechanisms, our security measures safeguard your premises, possessions, and workforce day and night.
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.
