Office Cleaning

Go by how many people are in the building on a normal day rather than the floor area. Washrooms and the kitchen show it first, so in a busy office they want doing every working day. Desks, floors, glass and bins hold up on two or three visits a week. What pushes it up is a shared entrance straight off the street, carpet instead of hard floor, food eaten at desks and visitors in and out all day. Carpet cleaning, floor scrubbing and high level dusting sit outside the weekly rota and get booked in when they are due.

Yes, and that is how most office work is done. Early, before anyone is in, or in the evening once the floor has emptied. If the building locks down at a set time, or there is a caretaker or a security team on the door, tell us when you ask for a quote and we will fit the visit inside those hours. Cleaning while you are open is fine too, and some offices prefer it because they can see what has been done.

We can, and plenty of our commercial clients prefer it. What matters is agreeing the detail up front: who holds the key, who knows the alarm code and who changes it when someone leaves, and who we ring if the alarm is already sounding when we arrive. If you would rather not hand a key over, we sign in with your reception or with building security instead.

Yes. Soap, hand towels, toilet roll and bin liners can all be part of the contract. We watch what is running down and top it up on the visit, so your office manager is not the one finding out a dispenser is empty. If you would rather buy your own consumables and have us fit them, that works too. Just show us where the stock cupboard is and tell us who to warn when it is getting low.

We wipe what is clear, and we do not move papers, files or anything left out on a desk. A clear desk rule on the days we are in is what makes the difference, and one email to staff usually does it. Hot desks get used by several people a week, so those are wiped every visit, chair arms included. Screens and keyboards we leave alone unless you ask us to include them, because they mark and damage easily.

Desk bins and kitchen bins are emptied every visit and the liners changed. We keep your recycling as you have set it up, paper away from general waste, and take the bags down to the bin store or whichever collection point you use. We are not a waste carrier and we do not take anything off site, so your collections stay with whoever handles them now. Walk us the route on the first visit and it looks after itself after that.

Yes. On a site running shifts there is usually a gap at changeover, or a quieter hour in the middle of one, and the visit gets built around whichever your building actually has. Where offices sit alongside a warehouse or a production floor, the usual pattern is offices out of hours and the welfare areas and washrooms at a fixed point during the day, so they are not left from one morning to the next.

No, and a good part of our office work is single suites and small units. What changes with size is the planning rather than the standard. A small office is one cleaner working through an agreed list on set days. A floor or a multi-tenant building needs a rota, more than one cleaner, washrooms looked at again during the day and one person for you to ring. If you are in a serviced building, check what your licence fee already covers first, because the landlord often cleans the communal areas but not inside your own suite.

Every cleaner we send is DBS checked and the company is fully insured, which is usually the first thing a facilities manager asks for. We are SMAS Worksafe accredited as well, which counts if your building is part way through a fit out with other trades still on site. Our staff wear MyT Clean uniform so your team can see at a glance who they are, and each visit is logged in our app with the time we arrived, so you are not taking anybody's word for it.
