Commercial property guide

How to define a commercial cleaning programme

Commercial cleaning works best when standards are measurable. We agree the areas, frequency, access, waste arrangements and any exclusions before work begins, with completion photographs available where appropriate.

Start with the property and the intended result

A useful scope records the condition that can be seen, the areas to be included, the required finish and any access constraints. Photographs and measurements help establish what can be priced remotely and what needs an inspection.

Work that may form part of the scope

Communal area cleaning

Scheduled or one-off cleaning of entrances, corridors, stairs and shared facilities.

Office cleaning

Agreed cleaning services for occupied or vacant workspaces, with frequency and access arranged around operations.

Builder's cleans

Post-construction cleaning after trades have completed dusty and disruptive work.

End of tenancy cleaning

Structured cleaning of managed rental property to the agreed inventory-related scope.

Pressure washing

Controlled cleaning of suitable external surfaces, access areas and hardstanding.

Before work begins

Ask for a written quotation that records the agreed work, access method, assumptions and exclusions. If concealed defects are found during the job, they should be reported and approved before additional chargeable work proceeds.

A common question

Can you clean communal areas on a schedule?

Yes. Frequency and task lists can be agreed for the building.
