Our Step-by-Step Office Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You can contact us by phone, email or through our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your premises: approximate size, type of flooring, number of workstations, kitchens and toilets, current condition and how often you need cleaning. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and outline of recommended tasks.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For regular contracts or larger offices, we arrange a brief survey. This can be:
- Virtual – via photos, video call or floor plans, ideal for smaller spaces or when time is tight
- Onsite – a short visit to walk the space, check access, security requirements and any sensitive areas
The survey allows us to finalise your cleaning schedule, confirm timings, and agree site-specific procedures, such as alarm setting, key holding and building regulations.
3. Preparation
Before the first clean we:
- Allocate a trained, professional team suited to your type of premises
- Prepare site-specific risk assessments and method statements where required
- Arrange secure storage for cleaning materials if needed
- Agree communication channels for feedback, extra tasks and access changes
On the day, our cleaners arrive on time, in uniform, with all necessary equipment and products. We work systematically and quietly to minimise disruption to your operations.
Transparent Pricing for Office Cleaning
We price office cleaning in Catford based on:
- Size of the premises and layout
- Frequency and timing of visits (daily, several times a week, weekly, out-of-hours)
- Flooring types and the level of traffic
- Depth of cleaning required and any specialist tasks
After the initial discussion and survey, you receive a written quotation that clearly states the hourly rate or fixed price, the scope of work and the visit schedule. There are no hidden charges; any optional extras, such as deep cleaning or carpet cleaning, are itemised separately so you can choose what you need.
Why Professional Office Cleaning Beats DIY
Many offices try to manage with occasional in-house tidying. In practice, this often leads to missed areas, inconsistent standards and increased wear on your furnishings and flooring.
Working with a professional cleaning company offers several advantages:
- Consistent standards – agreed checklists and supervision ensure nothing important is overlooked
- Health and safety – correct use of chemicals and equipment, with COSHH and risk assessments in place
- Better results – commercial machinery and products that are not available in supermarkets
- Time saving – your team can focus on their jobs instead of cleaning tasks
- Improved hygiene – regular sanitising helps reduce illness and absenteeism
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take protection and compliance seriously so that you, your staff and your premises are properly covered.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury relating to our work on your site
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport equipment or materials to and from your premises
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff are fully briefed on safe working practices, product use and site protocols
We follow industry-recognised standards for professional cleaning, maintain up-to-date safety data sheets for products and ensure that our teams are supervised and supported. References from existing commercial clients in Catford are available on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to look after your premises, your people and the environment:
- Protective measures – use of floor protectors, colour-coded cloths and mop systems to prevent cross-contamination
- Careful product choice – wherever possible, we select low-odour, effective products that are suitable for office environments
- Waste reduction – sensible use of consumables and encouragement of recycling practices already in place on site
- Equipment maintenance – regularly serviced vacuums and machinery for efficient, safe operation
We are always happy to work with your own sustainability policies, from recycling initiatives to reduced plastic or chemical use where feasible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does office cleaning in Catford cost?
The cost depends on the size of your premises, how often you need us and the level of cleaning required. Smaller offices with light use and weekly visits will naturally cost less than larger, high-traffic sites that need daily cleaning. After a brief discussion and, if needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quotation with either an hourly rate or a fixed price per visit. There are no surprise extras – any optional services such as carpet or upholstery cleaning are listed separately.
Can you provide same-day or urgent office cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often help with last-minute or urgent office cleans in Catford, for example before an important client meeting or following an unexpected incident. Same-day availability will depend on the time of your call and the size of the job, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve. For critical deadlines, we may suggest a focused clean of key areas such as reception, meeting rooms, toilets and kitchens as a priority.
Are you insured while working on our premises?
Yes. We are a fully insured company with public liability cover in place to protect against accidental damage or injury related to our work. We also hold goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials travelling to and from your site. Copies of our insurance certificates can be provided on request. In addition, our cleaners are trained in safe working practices, including the correct use of products and machinery, so the risk of incidents is kept to an absolute minimum.
What exactly is included in a standard office clean?
A standard office clean normally covers all general areas: dusting and wiping desks and surfaces, vacuuming carpets, sweeping and mopping hard floors, cleaning kitchens and break areas, toilets and washrooms, and emptying bins. We also sanitise touch points like door handles and light switches. Internal glass and reachable windows are usually included as well. The exact specification is agreed with you in advance and written into your schedule so you know precisely what is covered on each visit and what counts as an additional service.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For ongoing office cleaning contracts, we recommend allowing at least one to two weeks so we can survey your premises, agree a schedule and allocate the right team. For smaller, one-off or trial cleans, we can often find space sooner, especially outside peak periods. If you have a fixed deadline, such as an office move or end of lease, please contact us as early as possible. The more notice we have, the easier it is to guarantee your preferred dates and times.
Do you supply cleaning materials and equipment?
Yes, in most cases we supply all necessary cleaning products, cloths, mops and machinery as part of the service. This ensures our professional teams are using products they know and trust, with the right colour-coding to prevent cross-contamination. If your building requires specific brands or has its own stock, we can work with that instead. Any specialist items, such as floor treatments or stain removers, are discussed and agreed with you before use so there are no surprises.
