    Our Communal Cleaning Process

    Site Assessment

    We walk through the building with you to understand footfall, resident expectations, access arrangements and problem areas.

    Fixed Scope Agreed in Writing

    You receive a clear cleaning specification that sets out each area, task and responsibility, prevents confusion and ensures everyone understands what the service includes.

    Tailored Cleaning Plan

    We build a cleaning plan around your immediate needs rather than using a standard package, offering on-call service for specific areas or events, supported by flexible scheduling.

    Quality Checks and Photo Reporting

    We carry out routine quality inspections to confirm that the agreed scope has been completed. Before-and-after photographs can also be provided where additional reporting or evidence is required.

    Clear Communication and Ongoing Review

    Property managers, landlords, estate agents, developers and FM teams receive a direct point of contact. We review performance, respond to concerns and adjust the cleaning plan when required.

    Scheduled and Reliable Service Delivery

        frequently asked questions

        Pricing depends on the size of your communal areas, how often you need us and the scope of work involved (e.g. bin stores, windows, floor deep-cleans). We provide a free, no-obligation site visit and itemised quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for: no flat “per building” guesswork.
        Most residential blocks are cleaned weekly to stay presentable and hygienic. Higher-footfall buildings (such as student accommodation, larger developments or blocks with heavy bin and recycling use) often benefit from two or more cleans per week. Some management agreements may also specify a minimum cleaning frequency, which we can help you meet and document.
        Communal metal bins need more than a hose-down. Our process involves pressure-washing to remove built-up grime and residue, an industrial-grade degreasing and disinfecting solution to break down bacteria and odour-causing build-up, thorough rinsing and a deodorising treatment to keep bin stores smelling fresh between collections. This is offered as part of our communal cleaning contracts or as a standalone deep-clean service.
        Both. Most of our communal area cleaning clients are on an ongoing schedule, but we also offer one-off deep cleans: useful ahead of inspections, new resident move-ins or after a period without regular upkeep.
        Yes. All our cleaners are DBS-checked and trained to BICS (British Institute of Cleaning Science) standards, and our services are fully insured. This is important when staff are working in shared resident-access areas.
