Facilities managers weighing up single-service versus bundled soft FM need to know which services can realistically sit under one contract and which still need a specialist provider. For a single site with straightforward needs, bundling cleaning, washroom and waste services under one supplier cuts contract admin; for sites with TR19 kitchen extract or high-level access needs, a specialist-capable single supplier is worth checking for before you split the contract.
Soft FM services that can be bundled
- Facilities Management — Managed facilities services covering cleaning and related site needs.
- Soft FM Services — Cleaning bundled with other soft FM services under one supplier.
- Washroom Services — Washroom hygiene and consumables management.
- Waste & Recycling Management — Waste and recycling collection and management.
Specialist services worth checking before you split the contract
- Kitchen Extract Cleaning (TR19) — TR19-specified kitchen extract cleaning, often assumed to need a separate specialist.
- High-Level / Rope-Access Cleaning — Cleaning at height, often assumed to need a separate specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should we bundle cleaning with other soft FM services?
It depends on your site and supplier base — see our single-service vs bundled FM guide for the trade-offs before deciding.
Can one supplier really cover washroom, waste and cleaning together?
Yes — see our soft FM services page for how these are typically combined under one contract and one point of contact.
Do you need a separate specialist for TR19 kitchen extract cleaning?
Not necessarily — see our kitchen extract cleaning (TR19) page for how this can sit within a wider contract rather than needing a separate supplier.
What about cleaning at height — is that a separate contract too?
It can often be included — see our high-level cleaning page for how this is delivered alongside other soft FM services.
Can you cover multiple sites under one facilities contract?
Yes. As a nationwide contractor we can run consistent soft FM services across a multi-site estate under one arrangement. Call 0330 027 2159 or request a callback.
