What Is Excluded from Standard Office Cleaning?

To keep things transparent, some tasks fall outside a routine contract clean. These can often be added as additional services and quoted separately:

• Deep carpet and upholstery cleaning (we do offer professional carpet cleaning as a separate service)
• Specialist floor restoration (stripping, sealing, machine polishing)
• Removal of builders' debris or heavy post-refurbishment cleaning
• Waste removal beyond normal office refuse (e.g. confidential shredding, WEEE)
• Cleaning of personal items, inside cupboards, or inside IT equipment

If you are unsure whether a particular task is included, we will clarify this clearly during the quotation so there are no surprises.

Who Our Office Cleaning Service Is For

Although this page focuses on offices, our commercial cleaning expertise supports a wide range of clients in London:

• Homeowners working from home who need a regular professional clean of their home office and common areas.
• Renters in flats with office set-ups who want professional cleaning to keep the property in good order.
• Landlords with small office units, studios or mixed-use properties requiring periodic or end-of-tenancy cleaning.
• Businesses of all sizes: from start-ups in serviced offices to multi-floor corporate spaces.
• Students using shared study spaces or student offices who need reliable common-area cleaning.

We can adapt our cleaning specification to your type of property, footfall, and operational needs.

Our Step-by-Step Office Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

You can contact us by phone, email or through our website. We will ask a few key questions about your office size, current cleaning arrangements, preferred schedule and any specific issues (for example, stains on carpets, heavy traffic areas, or security procedures). Based on this, we provide an initial guide price or arrange a more detailed survey if needed.

2. Survey (virtual or onsite)

For most ongoing contracts, we prefer an onsite visit. This allows us to measure floor space, check floor types, view washrooms and kitchens, and understand access and security requirements. Where a visit is not possible, we can carry out a virtual survey using video and floor plans. The goal is to agree a clear written cleaning specification and frequency that suits your budget and standards.

3. Preparation

Once you are happy with the quote and specification, we schedule a start date. We appoint a supervisor, assign a trained cleaning team, and arrange keys, alarm codes and building induction if required. We also confirm cleaning times, health and safety requirements and any special points (for example, restricted areas or secure disposal). On the first visit, your supervisor will walk the site and ensure the team understands your expectations.

4. Ongoing cleaning & quality checks

Our cleaners work to a checklist based on your agreed specification. Supervisors carry out regular inspections, and we encourage feedback so we can make adjustments quickly. We can also schedule one-off deep cleans, carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning as needed throughout the year.

Transparent Pricing for Office Cleaning in London

We price office cleaning fairly and transparently, based on:

• Size of the premises and number of floors
• Frequency of cleaning (daily, weekly, several times a week)
• Type of flooring and level of footfall
• Number of washrooms and kitchen areas
• Any special requirements (e.g. clinical areas, server rooms, late-night access)

Most office cleans are quoted on an hourly rate per cleaner or a fixed monthly amount for an agreed schedule. All costs are confirmed in writing before we start. There are no hidden extras: if additional work is requested, we will quote it separately so you can approve it in advance.

Why Professional Office Cleaning Beats DIY

Many businesses start with staff doing their own cleaning, but this quickly becomes inefficient. Professional cleaners bring:

• Proper products and equipment matched to each surface
• Structured cleaning systems that avoid missed areas
• Trained teams who understand hygiene, COSHH and safe manual handling
• Consistent standards, even when staff are off or busy
• Reduced wear on carpets and flooring thanks to correct techniques

Most importantly, your own staff can focus on their actual roles rather than cleaning toilets, kitchens and meeting rooms at the end of the day.

Our Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible London cleaning company, we operate with robust insurance and procedures for your peace of mind:

• Public liability cover to protect you in the unlikely event of damage or injury during our work.
• Goods in transit insurance to cover cleaning equipment and materials we bring to and from your premises.
• Fully vetted, trained cleaning teams with site-specific inductions.
• Risk assessments and method statements where required.
• Clear uniform and identity checks for security-conscious sites.

We work to recognised industry standards, follow manufacturers' guidelines for chemicals and machinery, and keep records of training and site visits. If your building manager needs copies of our insurance certificates or policies, we can provide these on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while caring for your building, your staff and the environment:

• Use of appropriate, low-impact cleaning solutions wherever practical.
• Colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross-contamination between toilets, kitchens and office areas.
• Protective measures for delicate surfaces, such as spot-testing on carpets and soft furnishings.
• Correct dilution and use of chemicals to avoid residue and damage.
• Thoughtful use of water and energy, including microfibre systems.

We can also work with your own recycling and waste streams, helping to ensure bins are used correctly and that recyclable materials are not mixed with general waste.

Local Office Cleaning Expertise in London

Operating across London, we are familiar with the demands of busy offices, shared buildings and managed workspaces. We already work with clients in modern glass offices, converted townhouses, co-working spaces and small studios, so we understand how to adapt our service to different layouts and security requirements.

Our teams are used to early-morning, evening and weekend schedules to minimise disruption. If your office is in a multi-tenant building, we coordinate with building management where necessary to ensure smooth access and compliance with building rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does office cleaning in London cost?

Office cleaning costs depend on the size of your premises, how often you need us, and the level of service required. Smaller offices with weekly visits are usually charged on an hourly basis, while larger sites often work on a fixed monthly contract. Additional tasks such as carpet cleaning, deep cleans or extra washroom services are quoted separately. We provide a clear written quotation after a short survey, so you can see exactly what is included and how the price has been calculated.

Can you offer same-day or urgent office cleaning?

We do our best to help with urgent requests, such as unexpected spills, accidents or last-minute preparation for a client visit. Same-day availability depends on our schedule and the location of our teams, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically deliver. For one-off urgent work, we may send a smaller team initially and then follow up with a more detailed clean if required. For regular office cleaning, we recommend booking in advance so we can reserve specific days and times for your business.

Are you insured while cleaning our office?

Yes. We carry comprehensive public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury, as well as goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring to your site. All cleaners are trained to work carefully around IT equipment, confidential papers and delicate furnishings, and we follow agreed procedures for keys and alarm systems. Copies of our insurance documents are available on request, and we are happy to share them with your building manager or facilities team before we start work.

What is included in a standard office cleaning service?

A standard office clean usually covers all routine daily or weekly tasks needed to keep your workspace presentable and hygienic. This includes dusting and wiping accessible surfaces, vacuuming carpets, mopping hard floors, cleaning kitchens and break areas, and thoroughly cleaning toilets and washrooms. We also empty bins, wipe high-touch points such as door handles, and carry out light internal glass cleaning where required. Tasks such as deep carpet cleaning, external windows and heavy post-build clean-ups are not included as standard, but can be added as extra services when needed.

How far in advance should I book office cleaning?

For ongoing contract cleaning, it is best to contact us at least one to two weeks before you would like the service to start. This allows time for a survey, agreeing the specification, arranging keys or access cards, and assigning a suitable team. For one-off deep cleans or end-of-lease office cleans, we recommend booking as early as possible, especially at peak times such as month-end or just before holidays. However, if you have an urgent requirement, please get in touch and we will always see what we can do within our existing schedule.
