Facilities Management Awards 2026 Best Equipment Service, Maintenance & Repair Specialist 2026 – UK EquipservUK is an independent service, maintenance, and repair organisation offering national coverage across a range of equipment. Specialising in servicing and repairs for balers and compactors, the company prides itself on optimising waste-handling equipment by ensuring it runs at maximum efficiency and minimum cost, but it covers much more. With experience across numerous manufacturers and its own tailored services to boot, it is clear EquipservUK is special, something Commercial Manager Jake Wilmott told us more about when we caught up with him. A leading UK service, maintenance, and repair provider, EquipservUK strives to support organisations with its reliable expertise and nationwide coverage. Recognising that many of its customers (especially manufacturers) have repair teams of their own, the company leverages skills of its 19 strategically positioned engineers to support customers and complement the service capability these internal teams already have – not replace them. This is indicative of the lasting partnerships it builds with customers. As Jake told us: “We’ve built strong working relationships with leading manufacturers, facilities management companies, and waste brokers by recognising the supporting role we play. Whether providing additional resource, specialised knowledge, or rapid response during peak demand, EquipservUK ensures equipment is back up and running quickly, with an accurate diagnosis to guide you through the next steps.” For many businesses, this serves as a lifeline, helping them combat downtime and maximise efficiency. “From reducing breakdowns to improving safety, performance, and asset life, our plans cover all major waste-handling and backstage equipment, including balers, compactors, roll packers, lifts, dock levellers, and pallet trucks.” Exploring some of this work in more detail, one of the most notable projects the team recently took on lay outside of compactor repairs and baler servicing, as they carried out equipment maintenance on the scissor lifts of a major UK supermarket. The contract was initially set for another service provider, but EquipservUK was brought in at short notice when the selected contractor let the supermarket down. Reacting quickly, the team set about meeting the demands of this supermarket, before taking things a step further. Jake explained: “Throughout the project we made suggestions to improve the efficiency of the operation, which were greatly welcomed and implemented.” In fact, the supermarket was so impressed in the ability of this team to work under pressure that it has even scheduled them for more work in the future. This is a fantastic opportunity for EquipservUK to try its hand with different types of equipment, and its success demonstrates a commitment to excelling across every job it takes on, regardless of the scope. This project is a great example of why EquipservUK is the go-to company in this space, with its main differentiator being their unique ability to work across a wide range of equipment, as their independent nature means they are not tied to one manufacturer or type of machinery. Such an array of covered bases in no way sacrifices on the speed or quality of a job, with the team attending breakdowns within an average of 0.91 days, weekends and out-ofhours breakdowns included. Beyond this speed, they also take great pride in their first time fix rate, leaving their customers machinery back in working order. All of these factors are things EquipservUK has focused on from day one, with the principals behind it recognising the need for a multidiscipline equipment maintenance company within the back-of-house equipment market before it was even incorporated. The result is that a customer-first ethos revolving around solving real problems has been in operation since day one, and this continues to control the direction of the business to this day. It is seen at every avenue, such as the dedicated account managers customers receive. Commenting on what is next for the UK’s leading service, maintenance, and repair provider for back-of-house equipment, Jake cites further growth being the main target for EquipservUK in 2026, with a plan in the works to hire more full-time, field-based engineers – taking its total from the current 19 up to 23 or 24. These members will again be strategically placed, allowing the company to expand its abilities and scope, reinforcing its status as the number one maintenance provider within the market.
