Facilities management companies are responsible for sites that run commercial kitchens every day, such as schools, hospitals, care homes and prisons. When one of those kitchens has to close for a refurbishment, fails without warning, or needs extra capacity for a period of high demand, the FM provider has to keep the meal service running, often against an SLA and to a client that cannot tolerate downtime. PKL supports facilities management companies and their clients with temporary kitchens, catering equipment and permanent solutions, delivered as a single managed service across a portfolio.
What We Provide
We match the facility to the site, the number of meals served each day and the length of the requirement:
One Partner from Design to Handover
How we Support FM Providers
PKL gives a FM provider one dependable partner for any catering-facility requirement across the estate it manages:
- Temporary kitchens and catering equipment for planned refurbishments, keeping the site’s meal service running throughout.
- Rapid, often same-day response for emergencies such as a breakdown, fire or flood, backed by a 24-hour line, 365 days a year.
- Additional capacity for seasonal or short-term spikes in demand, hired for exactly as long as it is needed.
- Permanent modular kitchens where a managed site needs a new or replacement facility.
National Coverage Across a Portfolio
FM contracts often span many sites in different locations. With a fleet of more than 600 kitchen units and our own transport and installation teams, PKL can respond across a national portfolio, standardise the approach from site to site, and give the FM provider a single point of contact for every catering requirement rather than a different local supplier at each location. That national reach, backed by one account team, is what lets an FM provider offer the same catering-continuity service to every client site, not only those close to a depot.
Sectors we Work in
We support facilities management across the sectors that rely on commercial catering, including education, healthcare, care homes, local authorities and the secure estate, so we understand the compliance, hygiene and operational standards each setting requires and can deliver to them.

Consistent Service Across Your Contract
For a facilities management provider, consistency matters as much as capability. PKL gives you one agreement and one point of contact across every site in a contract, with the same standards, the same account team and, where you buy through a framework, the same agreed pricing wherever the work is. We plan scheduled works around your programme and your client’s operation, respond to emergencies against your SLA response times, and report back so you can evidence continuity of service to your client. Our own transport and installation teams mean we are not reliant on third parties to reach a site, which keeps response times predictable, and every unit is prepared and tested before it ships so it arrives ready to run. Whether the requirement is a single item of equipment to cover a failure or a full temporary kitchen for a major refurbishment, it is handled through the same managed service, so an FM provider can offer its clients a dependable catering-continuity capability without holding the assets or expertise in-house.
A Single, Managed Point of Contact
PKL handles the whole process, from survey and design through delivery, installation, support and removal, so an FM provider has one accountable partner rather than several suppliers to coordinate. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, with CHAS, SAFEcontractor, Constructionline, Gas Safe and CSCS, and route public-sector work through compliant frameworks including ESPO and YPO. With over 15,000 facilities delivered and more than 35 years’ experience across schools, hospitals, care homes and the secure estate, we bring the scale and reliability to support an FM provider’s clients wherever they are.
