In the world of facilities management, attention often goes to large-scale services – maintenance, security, or deep cleaning. But at the heart of every well-run building are the everyday essentials: consumables.
From toilet paper and soap to bin liners and cleaning chemicals, consumables play a critical role in maintaining hygiene, compliance, and employee satisfaction. These often-overlooked items are essential to the smooth daily operation of any site, whether it’s an office, school, healthcare facility, or industrial premises.
At CK Facilities Management, we partner with our sister company, CK Consumables, to ensure our clients have consistent access to high-quality, cost-effective consumable supplies across the UK.
What Are Facilities Consumables?
Facilities consumables are disposable or frequently replenished products used in cleaning, hygiene, and general building maintenance.
Typical examples include:
• Toilet rolls, hand towels, and tissues
• Hand soap, sanitiser, and dispensers
• Bin liners and refuse sacks
• Cleaning sprays, chemicals, and disinfectants
• Disposable gloves, mops, cloths, and PPE
• Kitchen and catering supplies
• Air fresheners and odour control solutions
Though often seen as minor, these products are mission-critical for safety, cleanliness, and service delivery.
Why Consumables Matter in FM
1. Hygiene and Regulatory Compliance
In any business or public setting, maintaining hygiene standards is a legal requirement—not a preference. Having the right consumables available at the right time is essential for:
• COSHH compliance (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health)
• Workplace health and safety regulations
• COVID-secure and infection control protocols
• General sanitation and washroom management
Partnering with CK Consumables ensures your business stays fully stocked, compliant, and audit-ready at all times.
2. Boosting Staff and Visitor Satisfaction
Nobody wants to walk into a washroom with no soap or toilet paper. These experiences quickly lead to frustration and impact your brand’s reputation—whether from staff, tenants, or visitors.
CK Facilities Management and CK Consumables work together to deliver reliable, scheduled replenishment so that your spaces are always prepared. We believe these small details show how much you value your people and your property.
3. Cost Efficiency Through Smart Procurement
Ordering consumables from multiple suppliers can lead to:
• Higher prices
• Inconsistent product quality
• Wasted admin time
• Unpredictable deliveries
Through CK Consumables, we offer centralised ordering, bulk-buying benefits, and a consistent product range tailored to your usage and site size. You get better value—and fewer supply issues.
4. Sustainable Options for Greener Workplaces
Environmental performance is a growing priority for most UK businesses. CK Consumables provides a wide selection of eco-conscious cleaning products, including:
• Refillable soap and sanitiser systems
• Biodegradable refuse sacks
• Plastic-free paper goods
• EU Ecolabel-certified chemicals
Whether you’re working toward ESG goals or ISO 14001 certification, our team can advise on the right products to reduce your environmental impact.
