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. UKFSL delivers expert maintenance and compliance solutions that keep your sites safe, secure, and legally compliant.

Refurbishment and retrofit projects are transforming property management. UK Facilities Solutions helps businesses enhance compliance, cut energy use, and increase asset value through sustainable upgrades. From efficient lighting and HVAC systems to smart design and renewables, our solutions create buildings built for the future.

Refurbishment is no longer just about appearance — it’s about performance. Discover how UK Facilities Solutions integrates smart sensors, automated controls, and data-led design to create efficient, adaptive workplaces. Learn how intelligent refurbishments improve comfort, cut costs, and make maintenance smarter.

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.

UK Facilities Solutions was proud to sponsor this inspiring event as the official shirt sponsor, supporting competitors and helping to make the day a success.

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.

When it comes to managing roadways, car parks, and service yards, the condition of your gates and barriers is just as critical as your surface integrity. These installations don’t just serve practical access and security functions—they’re complex machines with real potential to cause harm if poorly installed or maintained.

At UK Facilities Solutions, we take this responsibility seriously. That’s why our teams are Gate Safe accredited, ensuring that every gate or barrier repair, installation, or upgrade is performed to the highest safety standards.

No matter how well-managed a building is, unexpected issues can (and do) arise. Whether it's a delivery vehicle damaging car park barriers, a sudden roof leak after a storm, or broken windows in a vacant property, these challenges can quickly compromise safety, security, and operations.

At UK Facilities Solutions, we understand that time is critical in these situations. That’s why we offer fast, reliable reactive maintenance services—designed to protect your people, property, and reputation when the unexpected happens.

Is There a Legal Temperature to Work in an Office? While there is no legally defined maximum working temperature in the UK, employers do have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act to ensure that workplace conditions are reasonable and do not pose a risk to employee health. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggests that workplace temperatures should be “reasonable,” with a minimum guideline of 16°C for desk-based work—or 13°C if the work involves physical effort. During hot summer months, it’s essential to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, especially in offices with limited natural ventilation. By ensuring your HVAC system is functioning efficiently, you can protect staff wellbeing and demonstrate compliance with workplace health and safety regulations.

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.
