What to check
- List the spaces to be cleaned and how they are used.
- Agree the jobs, how often they happen and the finish you expect.
- Check who provides cleaning materials and equipment, and suitable storage.
- Explain keys, security, waste arrangements and how problems will be reported.
Plan the next decision
Compare quotes against actual tasks, not floor area alone. Specify occasional work, consumables and responses to spills or events.
Name the authoriser, access conditions and expected result. For safety, security or compliance matters, use competent assessment and premises-specific system information.
Records and follow-up
Keep what you asked for, what was found and done, and the evidence of completion. Note who will deal with any unfinished recommendation and when it is due.

Frequently asked questions
Are deep cleans included in routine cleaning?
Only when the contract includes them. Specify routine tasks, periodic tasks and specialist work separately, including who supplies consumables and equipment.
How can I compare cleaning quotations?
Give each provider the same room list, floor areas, working hours and task frequencies. Ask how missed tasks and quality concerns will be handled.
