An Introduction

We're Thermatic, the facilities management company dedicated to enhancing building performance, improving the built environment, and changing the face of Facilities Management.

From HVAC to drainage and renewables, we look after the systems that keep buildings running safely, efficiently and reliably. With our self delivery first approach operating across more than 10,000 sites nationwide, we work directly with facilities managers, property teams, housing providers, local authorities, retailers and healthcare providers, bringing the same technical expertise and personal care to every site we look after.

We're not just a service provider. We're the team that genuinely cares about your estate as much as you do.

Our Story

Thermatic has been keeping buildings running since 1971

We started in Stockport, delivering mechanical and electrical installation work for some of the UK's largest construction companies. But over time, we saw something the industry was getting wrong – facilities managers and building owners being let down by inconsistent service, impersonal relationships, and suppliers who treated FM as a transaction rather than a partnership.

So we changed. Over the last 15 years we've shifted our focus firmly towards long-term partnerships, because that's where we make the biggest difference. Today, more than 80% of our business comes from ongoing FM and partnership contracts. And that's exactly how we like it.
