What is SFG20?

SFG20 is the industry standard for building maintenance. We provide customisable maintenance guidance, accessed via cutting-edge software, to help building owners, facilities managers, FM consultants, and contractors control risk, achieve compliance, and ensure your buildings are safe and efficient.

Why SFG20 matters

The SFG20 standard ensures compliance, reduces risk, and improves efficiency. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, legal consequences, and safety risks:

Significant financial penalties
HSE fines reached £43 million from August 2023 to June 2024.
Legal & reputational risks
Serious violations can result in life sentences or public scrutiny.
Safety & compliance gaps

The Grenfell Tower fire showed the dangers of failing safety regulations.
Business disruptions & inefficiencies
Audits, shutdowns, and lost productivity can impact operations.
