New contracts, renewals & summer projects

It’s been another busy month across the 4Facilities team, with new contracts, renewals and projects covering heating, cooling, refrigeration and water systems.

Gildredge House School – New Contract

We’re delighted to welcome Gildredge House School to our growing portfolio of education clients.

Following a competitive tender process, 4Facilities has been appointed to maintain a wide range of mechanical services across the school, including the main boiler plant, commercial kitchen gas equipment, science blocks and high-level radiant heating.

We’re looking forward to working with the team and supporting the school over the years ahead.

University of Sussex – Continuing Partnership

Our long-standing relationship with the University of Sussex continues, with 4Facilities trusted to maintain ACR plant across the campus.

A big credit to our engineers and service team who continue to deliver the standards expected across such a large and varied estate, without ever becoming complacent about the service we provide.

Maybank, London – Contract Renewal

Another valued client continuing with 4Facilities.

We’re pleased to have renewed our maintenance contract with Maybank in London, covering HVAC plant, refrigerant leak detection and fire suppression systems.

We look forward to continuing to support their team over the coming year.

Handcross – Hot & Cold Water System Upgrade

A significant upgrade to replace the existing stored cold-water arrangement with a new pressurised mains-fed system, alongside two new 300-litre Megaflo hot water cylinders.

The project will modernise the school’s hot and cold-water infrastructure, improve efficiency and help reduce the risks associated with stored cold water.

Parchment Trust – Air Conditioning

Two new split air conditioning systems installed to serve office areas, improving comfort and temperature control for staff.

Applied Kilovolts – Production

Three new air conditioning systems installed within production areas, providing additional cooling where reliable temperature control is essential.

Royal Pavilion – Heating Compliance

Our heating team has been carrying out compliance works and upgrades to boiler and heating systems at Brighton’s iconic Royal Pavilion.

A slightly different backdrop to the average plant room!

Bridge Medical Centre – Refrigerant Leak Detection

Our ACR team attended Bridge Medical Centre to carry out repairs to the site’s refrigerant leak detection equipment, helping ensure the system remains safe, operational and compliant.

FROM THE FACILITIES TEAM

One Question to Ask Your Facilities Provider

"What are we doing today to prevent tomorrow's problems?"

A strong facilities partner should be able to help you answer that question.

From planned maintenance and compliance to HVAC performance and business continuity, proactive facilities management is about understanding your building, identifying risks and taking action before they become disruptions.

At 4Facilities, our approach is centred around helping clients manage their facilities proactively.

Our support can include:

Planned Maintenance

Helping assets remain reliable and perform effectively.

HVAC & Building Services

Supporting building comfort, efficiency and operational performance.

Compliance Support

Helping clients maintain visibility and control over important facilities requirements.

Reactive Support

Providing responsive assistance when unexpected issues occur.

Facilities Strategy

Helping organisations think beyond individual repairs and develop a more proactive approach to their buildings.

The goal is simple: fewer surprises, better-performing facilities and greater confidence for our clients.

👉 Thinking about whether your current service support is delivering real value?

The 4Facilities team can review your existing maintenance approach, recent service activity, or operational challenges and provide practical feedback focused on reliability, response, and long-term performance.

Now is the time to review your maintenance strategy, identify potential risks and make sure your building is prepared for the months ahead.

Whether you are reviewing an existing maintenance programme, preparing for seasonal changes or looking for greater visibility across your building services, 4Facilities can help.

Let's make your facilities ready for what's next.

Sector Focus:

Schools, Care Homes & Critical Environments

A significant part of our work is in environments where disruption and downtime are not an option, including private schools, academies, universities, care homes, healthcare settings and busy hospitality venues.

Because we understand term times, exam periods, safeguarding requirements and resident needs, we plan maintenance and projects around how your buildings actually operate day-to-day. That means:

• Scheduling intrusive works outside teaching hours or term time wherever possible
• Prioritising stable temperatures and resilience in care and healthcare settings, with appropriate response times and backup where needed

Our directly employed engineers get to know the sites they look after, helping to build the long-term relationships and consistency that many of our clients value.

4F Update & Stay Connected

Throughout 2026, we continue to strengthen our role as a trusted service and maintenance partner across Sussex, Kent, Surrey, and London, delivering technical expertise backed by structured processes, transparent reporting, and practical, cost-conscious support.
