Our Cleaning Standards
We follow clear checklists, defined methods, and sensible time allocations to keep quality consistent. Our cleaning standards emphasise:
- Detail and consistency: Room-by-room checklists aligned to the scope you approve
- Sensible sequencing: Clean high to low, dry to wet, disinfect last on touchpoints
- Safe product use: Appropriate solutions for surfaces and finishes, following manufacturer guidance
- Accountability: Team leads carry out spot checks and document outcomes for regular clients
If you’d like to see exactly what’s included in typical visits, review our cleaning checklist and let us know any preferences or priorities.
Our Approach to Quality Control
Quality is a process, not a promise. We use practical steps to keep standards high:
- Pre-visit brief: Your instructions and any access notes are confirmed in advance
- On-site checks: Team leads confirm scope, assess any risks, and allocate tasks
- Periodic audits: Supervisors conduct random inspections for ongoing contracts
- Client feedback loop: We capture notes after each visit and adjust your plan as needed
For larger or specialised spaces, we agree a scope, schedule, and specification in writing. This may include frequency, consumables management, and periodic deep tasks such as carpets, windows, or kitchen degreasing.
Team and Credentials
We place a strong focus on professionalism and trust. Our team includes trained cleaners, team leaders, and supervisors who understand residential etiquette and commercial site requirements.
- Right-to-work and identity checks carried out before deployment
- Reference checks as part of onboarding
- Practical skills training covering methods, materials, and equipment
- Site-specific inductions for commercial clients where required
We do not invent qualifications or make claims we can’t verify. Where specialist access or machinery is required (e.g., high-reach window work), we assign appropriately trained personnel or arrange a trusted partner with the correct competencies and insurances. For details on cover and risk management, visit our insurance information.
How We Vet and Train Cleaners
- Vetting: ID verification, right-to-work, references
- Induction: Core cleaning methods, product safety, and surface care
- Supervised starts: New team members begin under supervision to confirm readiness
- Ongoing training: Refresher sessions, toolbox talks, and updates on new products/techniques
We expect good communication, careful handling of client property, and respect for privacy at all times.
Health and Safety
Safety comes first for our team and your property. We use sensible procedures proportionate to the task, including:
- Risk assessment and method statements for relevant commercial work
- Product safety guidance, dilution control, and clear labelling
- Appropriate PPE for tasks such as descaling, degreasing, or disinfecting
- Electrical and equipment checks on portable tools
- Sharps awareness and safe disposal processes where applicable (e.g., communal areas)
If your site has its own health and safety rules, we’ll follow them once provided and brief the team accordingly.
Environmental Policy
We aim to reduce environmental impact without compromising hygiene. Our environmental policy includes:
- Product selection: Preference for effective, lower-impact products where suitable
- Measured dosing: Accurate dilution to avoid waste and reduce residues
- Microfibre systems: Reusable cloths and mops to minimise disposables
- Sensible travel planning: Logical routing to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Waste handling: Segregation and responsible disposal in line with local requirements
If sustainability is a priority for you, ask about our eco-cleaning service. We’ll advise where eco products perform well and where a specialist product may still be needed for hygiene or material protection.
Sustainability in Cleaning Services
Not every task can rely on mild cleaners—for example, heavy limescale, grease build-up, or infection-control zones may require targeted products. We always explain the reasoning behind product choices, and we can propose greener alternatives where results allow. Our aim is to balance performance, safety, and sustainability on every visit.
Equipment and Products We Use
We bring professional tools suited to both residential and commercial environments:
- Vacuums with HEPA filtration for improved dust capture
- Microfibre cloths colour-coded by area to reduce cross-contamination
- Mops and flat systems with replaceable pads for efficiency and hygiene
- pH-appropriate cleaners for stone, wood, vinyl, ceramics, glass, and stainless steel
- Degreasers and descalers used carefully and only where needed
- Disinfectants for high-touch areas, selected for efficacy and material compatibility
If you have preferred products, we’re happy to use them if safe and effective for the task. Please share any allergies or sensitivities before we visit.

What We Don’t Do
Being clear saves time and protects outcomes:
- Structural repairs or handyman work beyond minor tasks related to cleaning
- Hazardous waste removal or situations requiring specialist remediation
- Tasks outside an agreed scope without prior approval
- Work on unsafe sites or where access is restricted without proper arrangements
If you’re unsure whether something is included, just ask—we’ll confirm what’s feasible and advise alternatives if needed.
When We Recommend a Site Visit
We can quote from photos and descriptions for many jobs. However, site visits may be recommended for:
- Large commercial spaces with varied floor types and traffic levels
- Properties with significant build-up, post-construction dust, or heavy limescale
- Specialist surfaces (e.g., natural stone, oiled wood, or heritage finishes)
- Complex access, limited parking, or security procedures
A short visit helps us plan resources and avoid surprises on the day.
Communication and Keys
We keep communication straightforward:
- Confirmations and reminders by email or phone
- Clear notes after the first visit to confirm your preferences
- Key holding and alarm procedures available for regular clients
- A single point of contact for commercial contracts
If you need same-week availability, let us know—while we can’t promise specific times, we’ll advise our next open slot.
Insurance and Peace of Mind
We maintain appropriate insurance to protect clients and our team. This typically includes public liability cover and, for relevant work, goods in transit or treatment risk considerations. We’re happy to explain how cover applies to your site and scope. For specifics on what is and isn’t covered, please see our insurance page.
