Facilities management in London
Pearl Lemon Facilities Management runs planned and reactive facilities management across London from Kemp House on City Road, EC1V. Indicative London facilities management costs run £12–£18 per square foot a year in prime central locations against £8–£11 in outer boroughs (Priority First, 2026).
London is our home market and our head office sits in EC1V, which is why most of our work starts within the M25. We cover the whole city, but the operational reality matters: a Zone 1 office with evening-only access, a heritage building with restricted plant rooms and a light industrial unit in an outer borough are three different contracts, priced differently.
Scope a London contract around access and responsibility
A central office, a high-street shop and an outer-borough industrial unit need different briefs. For offices in the City or West End, identify landlord permissions, plant-room access and evening work windows. For retail units, record delivery arrangements and customer-facing work areas. For multi-site estates, give each postcode its own access and operating-hour details.
- Clarify shared plant, common areas and demised tenant responsibilities.
- State permitted working hours, delivery restrictions and contractor sign-in requirements.
- Separate routine planned visits from callouts and specialist work.
- Keep reporting consistent while showing each site's unresolved actions.
Use our FM tender checklist and building PPM checklist. Send the addresses and current gaps so coverage and scope can be confirmed in a proposal; area names below are not claims of separate local offices.
