Environmental Services to Keep Your Workplace Safe and Compliant
Orkin UK represents the combined strength of some of the UK’s most respected environmental health brands, including Safeguard, NBC Environment, Guardian Group, and Albany. With decades of collective experience and specialist knowledge across key sectors, we deliver tailored solutions that meet the distinct needs of every workplace, from bustling hospitality venues and industrial plants to office buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities.
Whether it’s managing pests, preventing Legionella outbreaks, or implementing robust bird or infection control strategies, we are the trusted choice for organisations that can’t afford to compromise on safety, compliance, or reputation.
Why Environmental Services Matter in the Workplace
- Maintaining Business Continuity: Environmental risks like pest infestations, bacterial growth, or waterborne pathogens can cause major interruptions to day-to-day operations. With the right preventive strategies in place, teams can reduce downtime and keep services functioning without disruption.
- Ensuring Regulatory Compliance: You play a crucial role in meeting health and safety legislation. This includes your responsibilities under frameworks such as the Health and Safety at Work Act, Legionella control standards, and COSHH regulations. Regular inspections, accurate documentation, and ongoing risk assessments are essential to staying compliant.
- Protecting Building Users: Environmental health hazards, whether pests, mould, or pathogens, pose genuine risks to people using the building. Safeguarding wellbeing starts with rigorous hygiene and pest management protocols.
- Preserving Public Image: A visible hygiene issue or pest incident can harm how your organisation is perceived. Even minor lapses in environmental standards can have lasting reputational consequences. High-quality preventative services help uphold your standards.
- Supporting Continuous Compliance: One-off solutions are rarely enough. Sustainable compliance requires routine checks, consistent reporting, and a long-term view. We work with facilities teams to implement structured plans that support year-round regulatory readiness.
- Taking a Proactive Approach: The most effective way to address environmental threats is to stop them before they begin. From early detection of pest activity to regular Legionella testing, a proactive mindset helps facilities avoid emergencies, reduce health risks, and manage costs more effectively.
Environmental Services for Your Workplace
Pest Management
We deliver proactive pest management services that help businesses reduce risk, stay compliant, and maintain smooth day-to-day operations with minimal disruption to staff, visitors, or customers.
Rodents, including rats and mice, are a common issue in workplace settings. They can damage wiring, insulation, and internal structures, while also spreading harmful bacteria in food areas, plant rooms, and storage facilities. Our customised management plans focus on early detection, long-term prevention, and discreet, professional treatment.
Cockroaches thrive in warm, hidden spaces such as kitchens, bin stores, and service ducts, often going unnoticed until an infestation is well established. We use targeted treatments to address the problem quickly, supported by regular inspections to prevent reoccurrence and help businesses avoid costly hygiene breaches.
Flies can be particularly disruptive in canteens, reception areas, or shared staff spaces. From drain flies to fruit flies, our integrated solutions include professional-grade control units, monitoring, and environmental guidance tailored to your site.
We also manage less visible but equally damaging pests, from stored product insects in supply areas to textile pests like moths and beetles affecting stock or soft furnishings. Seasonal pests such as ants and wasps are included within our workplace-focused service contracts, giving you year-round support.
Bird Management
From urban gulls to pigeons nesting on rooftops, birds can present serious risks to health, safety, and structural integrity. Orkin UK provides a full suite of bird management services, including proofing, humane deterrents, and specialist cleaning of fouled areas. Backed by trusted names like Safeguard and NBC Environment, our teams deliver effective, compliant solutions for even the most complex sites.
Legionella Risk Management
Water systems require close monitoring to meet legal standards and safeguard health. Our Legionella services — delivered through Guardian-branded experts — include full risk assessments, sampling, monitoring, and prevention plans. We support clients in fulfilling their duty of care while reducing the risk of Legionella bacteria in domestic and commercial water systems.
Biosecurity & Infection Control
Our biosecurity and infection control services are designed for environments where hygiene is critical. Using industry-approved protocols, our technicians carry out advanced decontamination processes tailored to each site. Whether for healthcare, food production, or high-traffic public spaces, we help minimise the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses, creating safer spaces for all.
