Hard FM.

Hard FM covers the physical building and its fixed systems: electrics, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing, fire safety systems, lifts, dock doors and the building fabric. These are the services that keep the building safe, legal and working, and many have statutory inspection requirements.

ProFM delivers soft FM, such as security, cleaning and grounds, with its own teams. Hard FM work, such as electrical, mechanical and fire systems, is carried out by accredited partner engineers that ProFM vets, schedules and manages under your contract, so you still have one account manager, one helpdesk and one monthly review.

Hard FM looks after the building: heating, electrics, plumbing, fire systems and structure. Soft FM looks after the people and activity inside it: security, cleaning, waste, washrooms and grounds. Most warehouses need both, and putting them under one contract removes the gaps between suppliers.

Many are, including fire alarm and emergency lighting testing, fixed wire electrical testing, gas safety where applicable and water hygiene risk assessments. The exact list depends on your building and lease. We build a compliance calendar for your site so nothing is missed.

Yes. We start by collecting your asset list, certificates and contract dates, then plan a handover so statutory checks don’t lapse during the switch. Existing suppliers can stay on until their contracts end if that works better for you.
