Environmental Services for Facilitiies Management
Supporting You With environmental services for Managed Facilities in the UK
Facilities management involves creating spaces that are clean, compliant, and fully operational day in and day out. That’s where Orkin UK comes in. As a trusted provider of professional environmental health services, we help facilities teams across the country manage the risks that can compromise the health, safety, and efficiency of their sites.
Whether you’re managing a commercial office, a hospitality venue, a healthcare facility, or a portfolio of high-traffic sites, we are the environmental partner you can rely on.
Why Environmental services Matter in Facilities Management
- Protecting Operational Uptime: Pest activity, water contamination, or infection outbreaks can bring day-to-day operations to a halt. Proactive environmental health services help facilities teams avoid costly downtime.
- Meeting Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Facilities managers are responsible for upholding strict compliance standards under regulations such as COSHH, the Health and Safety at Work Act, and Legionella risk management guidelines. Regular monitoring, assessments, and documentation are essential.
- Safeguarding Health and Safety: Unchecked pest infestations or bacterial threats can put building users at risk. Whether it’s tenants, staff, visitors, or customers, environmental hazards compromise wellbeing.
- Protecting Reputation: A single pest sighting or hygiene failure can quickly damage public perception and stakeholder trust, particularly in high-profile or public-facing environments.
- Supporting Long-Term Compliance: Ongoing prevention, monitoring, and management are critical for sustained compliance and peace of mind.
- Preventing Problems Before They Arise: Environmental health services are most effective when they’re proactive. From pest monitoring to Legionella testing, early action reduces risks and prevents larger issues.
Environmental Services for Facilities Management
Pest Control Services
We deliver proactive pest management services designed to minimise disruption, reduce risk, and support long-term compliance across all facility types.
Rodents, such as rats and mice, can quickly compromise internal infrastructure, damage cabling and insulation, and spread pathogens across food storage or plant areas. Our tailored management plans ensure reliable rodent prevention and early detection to avoid costly operational setbacks.
Cockroaches are a significant concern in communal areas, kitchens, refuse spaces, and plant rooms, spreading bacteria and triggering compliance breaches. We use evidence-led treatments to remediate infestations and implement discreet, routine inspections to avoid recurrence.
Flies are particularly problematic in food service zones, reception areas, and high-traffic staff spaces. We offer integrated fly management strategies using industry-standard control units and environmental recommendations.
Stored product pests, textile insects, and seasonal invaders such as ants or wasps are all considered within our FM-focused service contracts. Whether you’re managing logistics centres, office buildings, or multi-site residential portfolios, we create responsive plans that fit your operational needs.
Bird Management Services
Bird activity around facilities presents both health risks and structural challenges. Pigeons and gulls, especially in urban, coastal, or high-rise settings, create hazardous slip risks, block drainage, and damage roofing and signage. We provide long-term deterrent solutions such as netting, wire systems, and architectural bird spikes to prevent nesting and roosting.
For heritage buildings, transport infrastructure, and multi-use sites, our technicians work closely with facilities managers to install bespoke systems that preserve site aesthetics while delivering lasting protection.
Legionella Control Services
Legionella bacteria, left unchecked, can accumulate in stagnant or irregularly used water systems, creating significant health hazards. Facilities managers are responsible for keeping water systems safe and compliant, especially in settings where people live, work, or receive care. Orkin UK offers robust Legionella services that support legal obligations and operational continuity.
Our expert-led services include Legionella risk assessments, water sampling, and ongoing management and support. Please take a look at our page for full details.
Biosecurity and Infection Control
Maintaining a hygienic and low-risk built environment is vital in offices, education facilities, hospitality venues, and shared residential buildings. Orkin UK provides professional biosecurity services, including sanitation protocols, regular inspections, and proactive measures, that help facilities teams uphold high standards of cleanliness, reduce absenteeism, and safeguard reputation.
