Our Step-by-Step Office Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & tailored quote

You contact us by phone, email or via our website with a few details about your office: approximate size, number of staff, current cleaning issues and preferred frequency. We then provide an initial indication of costs and availability. If you are happy to proceed, we move to a more detailed assessment so your quote is accurate and transparent.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For most offices, we recommend a short onsite survey. One of our supervisors visits your premises, walks the space with you and notes floor types, washroom numbers, kitchen facilities, access and security requirements. For smaller or simpler layouts, we can carry out a virtual survey using photos or a video call. This allows us to plan staffing, timings and materials correctly from day one.

3. Preparation, set-up and first clean

Once you approve the quote, we schedule your start date. We assign a trained cleaning team and supervisor, brief them on your specific requirements, and agree access arrangements and alarm procedures. On the first clean we typically carry out a more detailed initial clean to bring the office up to the standard we will then maintain. From there, we work to a consistent schedule, with quality checks and feedback built in.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

Office cleaning is usually priced based on a combination of:

• Size of the office and number of rooms
• Frequency of cleaning – daily, several times per week, weekly, or ad-hoc
• Level of use – light, standard or heavy footfall
• Any deep cleaning or specialist tasks required
• Out-of-hours or daytime cleaning preferences

After your survey, we give you a written quotation with clear hourly rates or fixed service costs, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges, and any optional extras are itemised separately. We are always happy to discuss options to match your budget while maintaining safe, professional standards.

Why Professional Office Cleaning Beats DIY

It can be tempting to ask staff to tidy as they go, or to rely on basic in-house cleaning. In practice this often leads to inconsistent standards, hygiene issues and staff dissatisfaction. A professional office cleaning service offers:

• Trained cleaners who know how to clean different surfaces safely and effectively
• Proper commercial products and equipment, giving better, longer-lasting results
• Regular, scheduled cleaning that does not rely on staff goodwill
• Improved hygiene and reduced spread of illness in busy workspaces
• A better impression for visitors, clients and potential recruits

By outsourcing cleaning, your team can focus fully on their roles while we look after the environment they work in.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

As an established London cleaning company, we take responsibility for our work, our staff and your premises.

• Public liability cover – to protect you if accidental damage or injury occurs during our work.
• Goods in transit insurance – covering cleaning equipment and materials we bring to and from your site.
• Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner is inducted in safe chemical use, manual handling, security, confidentiality and site-specific procedures.

Supervisors carry out regular quality checks and respond promptly to any feedback. We follow industry best practice for risk assessments, method statements and COSHH documentation where relevant.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every office as if it were our own workplace. That means:

• Using colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination
• Protecting sensitive equipment and avoiding unplugging IT unless agreed
• Locking up and alarming the building as instructed when working out of hours

Where practical, we use low-impact, concentrated products and dosing systems to reduce waste. We encourage recycling, careful use of water and energy, and the responsible disposal of packaging and used materials. If your business has its own sustainability policies, we will align our methods so that cleaning supports your environmental commitments.

Local Expertise in London

Operating across London, we are used to working in busy, high-demand environments. We understand issues such as restricted access, parking limitations, shared buildings and security procedures. Our teams are used to early morning, evening and night shifts, as well as discreet daytime cleaning in live offices.

Because we are local, we can respond quickly to changes in your requirements, cover staff sickness and arrange additional deep cleaning when you need it, such as after office moves, refurbishments or events.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does office cleaning in London cost?

Costs depend on the size of your office, how often you need us and the level of work required. Smaller offices with light use may only need a weekly visit, while larger or busier workplaces often require daily cleaning. After a brief survey, we provide a clear, written quotation either as an hourly rate or a fixed monthly service cost. All standard tasks are listed, and any optional extras are priced separately, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

Can you provide same-day or urgent office cleaning?

We can often arrange same-day or short-notice office cleaning in London, especially for existing clients. Availability depends on the time of day, the size of your office and the type of work required. For urgent spillages, hygiene concerns or last-minute visits from important clients, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to prioritise you. For larger deep cleans or post-refurbishment work, a little more notice helps us allocate the right number of professional cleaners and equipment.

Are you insured while working in our office?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover for our cleaning operations and goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring to your premises. All staff are employed or contracted under our policies and are trained to work carefully around your property and equipment. We also follow agreed security and access procedures, including key holding and alarm codes where needed. Copies of our insurance certificates and risk assessments are available on request, so you can be confident your office is in safe hands.

What exactly is included in your office cleaning service?

A standard service covers general surface cleaning, dusting, vacuuming and mopping, bin emptying, washroom cleaning and kitchen/tea point cleaning. We sanitise key touchpoints such as door handles, switches and bannisters to help reduce the spread of germs. We can add extras such as deep cleaning, carpet cleaning, internal glass polishing and appliance cleans as needed. During your survey we agree a detailed task list and frequency for each area, so there is no confusion about what will be done on every visit.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular office cleaning, we recommend contacting us at least one to two weeks before you would like the service to start. This allows time for a proper survey, quotation, onboarding and scheduling of a suitable professional team. One-off or deep cleans are often available sooner, depending on our current workload and the size of the job. If you have a fixed deadline, such as an office move or important meeting, let us know and we will plan around your key dates wherever possible.
