Commercial Cleaning in East Sussex

Commercial cleaning across East Sussex

Our commercial cleaning covers any premises that is not somebody’s home. That takes in offices, retail units, clinics and surgeries, salons, studios, workshops, warehouses, holiday accommodation and the communal areas of managed blocks. We work right across Eastbourne and East Sussex, on regular contracts, as a one off, and as cover when your own cleaner is on holiday or off poorly.

We have been doing this locally for seventeen years, from a one man window round to a team of eleven, and a good deal of our commercial work still arrives through one business mentioning us to another. You can see examples in our Gallery and our Case Studies.

The premises we look after

Offices and workspaces. Desks, meeting rooms, kitchens, washrooms and the high touch points that matter most. This is the largest part of what we do and it has a page of its own, at Office Cleaning.

Shops, salons and clinics. Front of house has to look right before you open, and treatment rooms and washrooms have standards of their own. We work early mornings or evenings so nobody is cleaning around your customers.

Communal areas. Entrance halls, stairwells, lifts, corridors and bin stores in managed blocks, on a weekly or fortnightly rota with reporting for the managing agent. See Communal Areas.

Units, workshops and warehouses. Larger floor areas, welfare facilities and offices attached to working space, cleaned on a schedule that fits around production rather than interrupting it.

After building work. Dust gets absolutely everywhere and normal cleaning will not shift it. See Builders Cleans.

Working around your hours

Almost nobody wants a cleaner in while they are trying to work, so most of our commercial contracts run before opening, after closing or at weekends. We hold keys and alarm codes for a great many local businesses and let ourselves in, which is usually the simplest arrangement for everyone.

We keep the same team on the same premises wherever the schedule allows. It saves you explaining which doors lock, which rooms are private and which bins go where, and it means somebody notices when something is not right. If your regular team are away we send cover rather than skip the visit, and we let you know in advance.

Staff cover and one off work

If you employ your own cleaners, holidays and sickness leave an awkward gap. We provide cover on short notice, working to your existing routine rather than imposing ours, and plenty of local businesses use us purely for that.

We also take one off commercial cleaning, which tends to be a deep clean before an inspection, a clear up after an event, a premises being handed back at the end of a lease, or a unit being made ready before a new tenant moves in. There is no requirement to sign up to anything ongoing.

What else we can fold into a contract

Most clients would rather deal with one company than four, so a commercial cleaning contract with us can take in more than the cleaning itself. Internal and external window cleaning, carpet cleaning on a schedule, washroom consumables, waste removal, graffiti removal, jet washing to the frontage and car parking areas, and light maintenance can all sit on the same invoice.

We also valet commercial vehicles and plant, which is worth knowing if you run a fleet. See Vehicle & Machinery Valeting, Waste Removal & Clearance and Maintenance.

Health, safety and the paperwork side

Commercial premises come with obligations a domestic job does not, and we would rather have that settled before we start than halfway through. We carry public liability cover and will send the certificate across with the quote. Cleaning products are stored and used in line with COSHH requirements. Risk assessments and method statements are provided for sites that need them, which tends to mean anything industrial, anything with public access, or any managing agent who asks.

For premises with vulnerable visitors, such as clinics and surgeries, we can confirm the checks our staff hold before anyone attends. If your own site induction has to be completed first, tell us and we will build the time into the mobilisation rather than charging you for it.

How a contract usually starts

We come and walk the premises with you, at no charge, and agree a schedule of works room by room. That document becomes the contract, so there is never any argument later about whether something was included.

From there we agree days and times, sort out keys or access, and start. For larger sites we usually run the first few visits with an extra person while the team learn the building, at no additional cost to you, because the first month is where most cleaning contracts quietly go wrong.

What commercial cleaning costs

Contracts are priced per visit once we know the floor area, the number of washrooms, how often you want us and what time of day the work happens. We would always rather come and look at the premises first, free and with no obligation, than price it blind from a floor plan.

You get a written quote with the schedule of works attached, so everybody knows exactly what is included. There are no long tie ins, and if something is not working we would far rather you told us and we fixed it than have you quietly start looking elsewhere.
