Commercial facilities management in London
We run commercial facilities management across London from our City Road head office: planned and reactive maintenance, statutory compliance, cleaning and security under one contract. Indicative London costs run £12–£18 per square foot a year in prime central locations and £8–£11 in outer boroughs (Priority First, 2026).
Commercial buildings in London are rarely simple. Multi-let offices, mixed-use blocks with retail on the ground floor and older stock with listed-building constraints all sit within a few streets of each other, and each needs a different maintenance and compliance plan.
We start from the asset register and the statutory calendar, then price planned work, reactive cover and soft services separately so you can see exactly where the money goes.
What to check before you choose
- Planned preventive maintenance for HVAC, electrical, plumbing and building fabric
- Reactive helpdesk and callout cover, with attendance times written into the contract
- Statutory compliance: fire, gas, fixed-wire electrical, water hygiene, lifts
- Commercial cleaning, security and front of house
- Monthly reporting against agreed SLAs and a live compliance record

Before you ask for a price
Commercial facilities management London: common questions
How much does commercial facilities management cost in London?
Indicatively £12–£18 per square foot a year in prime central London and £8–£11 in outer boroughs, with the highest-specification buildings at £18–£32 (Priority First, 2026). A scoped price depends on hours of cover, service mix and the condition of the plant.
Can you take over from our current provider mid-contract?
Yes. We plan a handover around your notice period: asset register, compliance records and open jobs are transferred first so nothing statutory lapses during the change.
