UK Facilities Management Salary Guide
Benchmark FM pay before your next hire or your next move
Facilities management pay in the UK is shifting fast. Compliance-heavy roles now sit at the top of every band, driven by the Building Safety Act 2022 and a shrinking pool of IWFM-qualified engineers and managers. Most Facilities Managers earn between £35,000 and £55,000, while senior and multi-site roles reach £100,000 or more.
The A24 Group FM Services UK Facilities Management Salary Guide gives you the current numbers, by role, region and sector, so you can price a brief correctly or negotiate from a position of strength.
What's inside the Facilities Management Salary Guide?
The guide covers Hard FM, Soft FM, asset, compliance and leadership roles across the UK, including:
Pay bands for Hard FM Managers, HVAC Engineers, Building Safety Managers and Healthcare Technical Services Managers
Soft FM ranges for Workplace Experience, Cleaning Services and Security Managers
Leadership pay for Regional and Senior Facilities Managers, Heads of Facilities, and Energy and Sustainability Managers
The three market forces moving FM salaries this year, including the Building Safety Act, the IWFM skills shortage and demand from critical environments such as data centres and healthcare

If you're hiring
Use the guide to sense-check a brief before it goes to market. A role priced below range won't attract a serious shortlist, and one priced without reference to region or sector risks losing candidates to a better-briefed competitor. Compliance-heavy roles, Building Safety Act duties, HTM, F-Gas, are moving fastest, so brief on the qualification, not just the job title.
If you're job-hunting
These figures give you a starting point for negotiation, not a ceiling. Location, sector and whether a role carries budget or compliance ownership move the number more than job title alone. Qualifications and certifications, IWFM, F-Gas, BSA competence, are your strongest lever above the entry rate for any band.
