How It Works
-
Enquiry and site details
Share your building layout, number of floors, lifts, bin stores, and any security or access notes. Provide photos and any existing cleaning rota if available. -
Survey and scope
We’ll conduct a virtual or on-site survey to confirm footfall levels, floor types, and any specialist areas. We then draft a frequency plan—daily, bi-weekly, weekly, or fortnightly—and allocate time per visit. -
Proposal and schedule
Receive a clear proposal with task lists, lift and hallway cleaning checklists, and frequency options. We agree start dates, key handling, and alarm procedures. -
Mobilisation
Your cleaning team is briefed on the building’s specifics. We place supplies on-site where appropriate, or bring them each visit as agreed. RAMS and insurance documentation are issued upon request. -
Service delivery
Cleaners follow the agreed plan, completing communal routines and periodic tasks. Managers reports and photos can be shared to confirm standards, especially useful for multi-stakeholder buildings. -
Ongoing quality control
Supervisory spot-checks, client feedback loops, and seasonal adjustments keep standards consistent. We can coordinate with concierge or managing agents for any ad hoc needs. -
Review and improvements
Quarterly reviews (or as required) to refine task frequency, address wear-and-tear areas, and update the cleaning plan as residents or occupancy levels change.

Local Service In North London
Our teams work across North London and neighbouring postcodes, supporting property managers with dependable schedules that suit resident routines. We’re used to tight stairwells, mixed floor coverings, pram and bike storage in hallways, and varied access controls. If your building is permit-controlled or has limited off-street parking, we plan timing and kit accordingly.
For estates with multiple blocks, we map sequence and transit time to avoid disruption. Where lifts are small or out of service, we adjust timing for stairwell cleaning. Appointments are available across N postcodes, and we’ll confirm any concierge coordination or key-safe procedures in advance.
