Commercial Cleaning

Cleaning is the service a building is judged on every morning, so the group runs it as its own division with its own site, team and specification.

Commercial cleaning in an office building

What this covers

Contract cleaning for offices, retail, schools, clinics, hospitality and industrial premises across Greater London, run to a written room-by-room specification with a regular team and a supervisor who checks the work against it.

For maintenance clients it usually arrives as the thing that has drifted: a washroom that fails on a Monday, a kitchen nobody owns, a contractor who sends different faces every week. The cleaning division takes that over on one contract, with one contact and one invoice.

Nobody walks into a building and assesses the emergency lighting. They assess the washrooms, the entrance and the kitchen, and they form a view of how the whole place is run from that. Cleaning is also the service most likely to drift, because standards fall slowly and nobody complains until they have fallen a long way. A cleaning contract works when there is a written specification saying what is done daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly, and a way of checking it happened. That is how the division sets it up, and it is why cleaning sits naturally alongside a maintenance contract: the same reporting, the same audit, the same single point of accountability.

Office and contract cleaning runs in the hours that suit the building. Most of it happens before or after the working day; some sites want a daytime presence for washrooms and reception, and both are normal. The specification is written area by area, because a reception, an open-plan floor, a kitchen and a plant room are not on the same cycle, and the hours and the team size are set to deliver it rather than the other way round.

Washroom and hygiene services are where a cleaning contract is judged. Consumables are managed so nothing runs out, sanitary and hygiene units are serviced on their cycle, and the mid-morning check on a busy washroom is in the specification rather than left to whoever notices. Where a washroom has a plumbing fault behind the cleaning problem, the maintenance side picks it up through the same contact.

Periodic deep cleans, end of tenancy cleans and builders cleans are the one-off jobs. A deep clean resets a building that has drifted; an end of tenancy clean gets a commercial unit back to a handover standard; a builders clean and the sparkle clean after it are what turn a finished fit-out into a space somebody can move into. When the group's project arm or maintenance team has been on site, the clean afterwards is booked as part of the job, not remembered later.

Commercial kitchen deep cleans and kitchen extract cleaning are specialist work. Kitchen extract systems are cleaned to the TR19 standard through appointed specialists, with the certificate filed against the building, because it is the document the insurer asks for after a kitchen fire and the one most often missing. Window cleaning and high-level cleaning, including reach-and-wash and access equipment for atria and facades, are scheduled on their own cycle within the same contract.

Sector routines differ. Healthcare and clinic cleaning follows colour-coded, infection-control practice; education cleaning fits around the school day and the holiday deep cleans; hospitality cleaning is front of house before opening and back of house after close; retail is floors and glass before the doors open; warehousing is about dust, welfare areas and the yard. The division's own site sets out each routine, the London areas it covers and its guide prices, which is where the detail lives.

Common questions

Questions we get asked.

Do you do one-off deep cleans as well as contracts?

Yes. Post-refurbishment cleans, end of tenancy cleans and periodic deep cleans are all available as standalone jobs, whether or not you hold a cleaning contract with the group.

Can cleaning be combined with the maintenance contract?

Yes, and it usually should be. One contract, one invoice, one point of contact, and a post-works clean happens automatically after maintenance rather than being a separate conversation.

What hours do cleaning teams work?

Whatever suits the building. Most commercial cleaning happens before or after trading hours; some sites prefer a daytime presence for washrooms and reception. Both are normal and both are written into the specification.

How is quality monitored?

Against the written specification, with periodic audits by a supervisor who checks the work rather than assumes it. If a standard slips, the fix is a specification and a check, not an apology.
