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

The useful question is what standard can be verified for the agreed space and frequency. Communal areas, offices and builders cleans have different task lists. Define waste, consumables, access and exclusions before a recurring or one-off programme begins.

What should be checked?

The visible finish is only part of the decision. The existing condition, suitable materials, safe access and how the work affects occupants all influence the scope. Where the cause or substrate cannot be confirmed from photographs, an inspection may be required.

Related work

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

The quotation should say whether this related work is included, optional or excluded. Where another specialist or regulated trade is needed, that requirement should be identified clearly before scheduling.

Practical question

Do you provide consumables?

This can be included if the required products, quantities and replenishment responsibility are agreed.

Requesting a quotation

Provide the full address, clear photographs or video, the areas affected and the result you expect. Mention access restrictions and any known history of the defect, so the next step can be a quotation, inspection or specialist survey as appropriate.
