We deliver facilities management for Canary Wharf and Docklands offices and residential towers: high-rise plant and lifts, life-safety systems, cleaning and security. London office facilities management indicatively costs £12–£18 per square foot a year in prime locations (Priority First, 2026).

Docklands is a high-rise estate of modern offices and residential towers. Plant is complex, lifts and life-safety systems are critical, and many buildings sit inside an estate with its own rules for contractors.

We work within estate management requirements and keep the building's compliance records audit-ready.

  • Residential tower concierge and communal cleaning
  • Office cleaning and front of house
  • Planned maintenance programmes for modern plant
