In transport depots and hubs, it's easy to overlook the importance of staff welfare areas - spaces like canteens, restrooms, break rooms, and depot offices. But these are the environments where your teams start and finish their shifts, where they rest, regroup, and reset. It sends the wrong message if they're outdated, worn out, or no longer fit for purpose.
For industries like manufacturing, transport operators and logistics, valuing your people, meeting compliance, and creating environments that support retention and wellbeing.
Good facilities support good work
Whether your teams are on the road, maintaining vehicles, or managing operations, they need clean, comfortable, and reliable facilities.
We've worked with transport and logistics clients across the South West and South Wales to transform outdated areas into practical, well-equipped spaces, including:
- Staff WCs and shower rooms
- Canteens and kitchenettes
- Office spaces and break areas
- Driver restrooms and wash stations
These aren't luxury upgrades - they're basic but considered infrastructure that allows your people to do their jobs well and feel respected.
What a fit-out involved (and what it fixes)
Over time, even well-used welfare spaces become tired, inefficient, or difficult to clean. Damp, cracked flooring, poor ventilation, failing heating, or awkward layouts can increase running costs, create compliance risks, and negatively impact staff morale.
A modern fit-out might involve:
- New partitions, flooring and hygienic wall coverings
- Upgraded lighting, power and water systems
- Improved ventilation and energy-efficient heating
- Smart controls and easier-to-maintain finishes
All designed around how your staff actually use the space, and installed with minimal disruption to your operations.
Sustainable and cost-effective
We also take the opportunity to build in long-term efficiency. That could mean motion-activated lighting, efficient water heating, or better insulation - small upgrades that reduce energy use and maintenance over time.
Why UES?
We understand transport operators' pressures - early starts, long hours, tight margins and buildings in near-constant use. That's why our fit-out and refurbishment team works flexibly, around your shifts and operational needs.
As a B Corp-certified building services partner, we deliver everything in-house - from mechanical and electrical to renewables - under one roof. That means faster delivery, clearer accountability, and better value.
