Sound Familiar? These Communication Problems Waste Time & Money in Facilities Every Single Day

  • Dead zones in stairwells, basements, and service areas → Maintenance teams unreachable when you need them most
  • Wasted time walking across large buildings or warehouses → Staff spending 30+ minutes per day just delivering messages in person
  • Missed coordination between shifts → Handover problems causing repeated work and confusion
  • Can't reach key personnel during emergencies → Critical situations delayed because you can't locate or contact the right people
  • Poor communication with contractors and visitors → Security, deliveries, and access control constantly breaking down
  •  Teams using personal mobile phones → Unreliable, unprofessional, and creates security risks with personal devices
  • Expensive mobile phone bills → Paying £30-50 per person per month when radios would cost a fraction

Here's What Poor Facilities Communication
is REALLY Costing You:

Lost Productivity:

  • Staff walking across buildings to deliver messages
  • Average: 30-45 minutes per person per day wasted
  • = £200-500 per person per year in lost productivity

Emergency Response Delays:

  • Can't reach maintenance during water leak, lift breakdown, or security incident?
  • Average emergency response delay: 15-30 minutes
  • Potential damage costs: £1,000-10,000+ per incident

Mobile Phone Costs:

  • £40/month per person × 10 staff = £400/month
  • = £4,800 per year (when professional radios would cost half that)

Contractor Coordination:

  • Delays, missed deliveries, access issues
  • = £100-300 per month in wasted time and rework

Health & Safety Compliance:

  • Can't account for lone workers or respond to emergencies?

HSE fines: £5,000-£50,000

  • Plus liability if something goes wrong

Total Annual Cost of Poor Communication: £8,000-£70,000+

Security staff coordinating across large areas

Events and logistics teams on tight schedules

How A Major London Hotel Improved
Staff Efficiency & Saved £3,600 Per Year

The Problem:

The Hotel's operations team was struggling with communication across their 12-floor London property.

The facilities manager was frustrated, his team of 15 staff were using personal mobile phones, racking up bills and missing critical messages.

Basement maintenance staff couldn't be reached. Housekeeping coordination was chaotic. Security couldn't quickly contact the right people during guest emergencies.

They were spending over £6,000 per year on mobile phone allowances and still had communication problems.

Staff were wasting time walking between floors to find colleagues.


The Discovery:

The facilities manager called CTS Radios after a serious incident where they couldn't reach maintenance during a water leak.

The delay caused £2,500 in additional damage.

During the consultation, we recommended switching to professional two-way radios with a hire package that covered the entire building.

The Transformation:


Within 48 hours:

  • 15 pre-programmed radios delivered
  • Full team training completed
  • Complete building coverage including basement
  • Instant communication between all departments

Q2: What happens if a hired radio gets damaged or lost?

A: With our hire service, we replace lost or damaged radios within 24 hours at no additional cost. Whether it's dropped down a lift shaft, damaged by water, or simply misplaced, we've got you covered.

For purchased radios: Your 24-month warranty covers manufacturing defects. Accidental damage can be covered with our optional protection plan.

Q3: Can I add more radios if my team grows?

A: Absolutely. With hire, just call us and we'll deliver additional radios within 24-48 hours. Add them to your existing hire agreement, simple.

For purchased radios: Order additional units at any time. We keep your programming settings so new radios integrate seamlessly with your existing system.

Q4: Will radios work in basements, stairwells, and service areas?

A: Yes. Professional two-way radios work much better than mobile phones in buildings because:

UHF radios penetrate concrete and steel better than cellular signals

For larger facilities: We add repeaters to eliminate dead zones

Free site survey: For teams of 8+ radios, we test coverage before you commit

We've solved communication problems in underground car parks, basement plant rooms, and multi-story buildings. If we can't provide coverage, we'll tell you upfront.

Q5: Do we need a radio license?

A: It depends on which radios suit your needs:

License-free (PMR446):
Limited range, suitable for smaller single buildings

Licensed (Business Radio): Better range, more reliable, ideal for larger facilities or multiple buildings

We handle all licensing paperwork for you if required. During your consultation, we'll recommend the right option for your facility size and explain the simple licensing process (usually just a one-time application).

A: Yes! We specialise in multi-site radio systems:

Same campus: Link buildings with repeaters or digital trunking

Different locations: Wide-area systems or linked repeaters

l for cross-team coordination

Private calling for one-to-one communication

Emergency channel
for urgent situations

During setup, we'll design the perfect channel structure for your operation.

Q8: What if we have visitors or contractors who need radios temporarily?

A: We can provide guest radios that are:

1. Pre-programmed for limited access (specific channels only)

2. Easy to issue and retrieve
