Mobilisation (switching cleaners or starting a new block)
Step 1 — Confirm scope, entrances and access
We confirm how many blocks/entrances, floors, lifts, bin store requirements and access arrangements.
Step 2 — Site induction and baseline clean
We complete an initial clean and set a baseline standard for shared areas.
Step 3 — Ongoing delivery and improvement
We maintain consistent delivery with checklists and periodic quality checks, with specification updates if footfall or building use changes.
How we deliver consistent standards
Property managers need reliability and clarity. Our approach is straightforward:
1) Site cleaning specification agreed upfront
We agree a site-specific specification (tasks, frequency and priority areas), so expectations are clear.
2) Checklists and inspections
We use checklists and routine quality checks. Snags are recorded and resolved quickly to keep standards consistent.
3) Snagging and resident concerns (how we handle issues)
Where a snag or resident concern is reported, we confirm the area and action the response quickly. This keeps presentation consistent and reduces repeat complaints.
4) Access, keys and concierge arrangements
We work around access times, concierge arrangements and resident movement, and we can prioritise high-traffic times/areas as needed.
5) Safe working practices and risk controls
Safe methods and COSHH-aligned product use. We use wet-floor signage and safe working practices to reduce slip risks in communal routes. RAMS/COSHH can be provided where required.
