The work starts with the property.

Which service do you need?

Routine cleaning needs a task schedule. Deep cleaning addresses defined build-up; specialist contamination needs assessment of the substance and affected materials before a method is selected. Describe the symptom or desired outcome rather than selecting a service solely by name. Photographs, plans and the history of previous work help identify the next useful step.

Repairs, maintenance and projects

An individual instruction deals with a defined task. Maintenance provides a route for recurring work and condition-led attention. Projects cover coordinated changes with a wider brief, programme and handover. A property can move from an initial repair to a larger improvement once the condition and owner’s priorities are understood.

Planning the work

Identify surfaces, contamination, access, chemicals, drying and reopening needs. The cleaning method and controls should protect cleaners and people using the premises. Confirm the person authorising the work, access to occupied areas and any completion date tied to a tenancy, opening or handover. The agreed scope should identify exclusions and the information needed at completion.

Work across sectors

The work applies to premises with different patterns of occupation and access. Offices, education settings, hospitality premises and industrial sites each bring their own constraints around people, equipment and working hours. The sector directory connects the full service range to the different property settings.

Locations covered

Coverage spans North East England, including Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Newcastle, Gateshead, Durham and Middlesbrough. Provide the postcode, access information and any site-specific restrictions. The location directory lists the wider area and local pages.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enquire before choosing an individual service?

Yes. Describe the problem, affected areas and desired result. Routine cleaning needs a task schedule. Deep cleaning addresses defined build-up; specialist contamination needs assessment of the substance and affected materials before a method is selected.

Can several tasks be included in one instruction?

Related tasks can be scoped together, with the necessary trades, sequence and responsibilities identified. List the items room by room or area by area, including what should remain untouched.

What determines the cost?

The actual work, condition, access, materials, equipment and operating restrictions determine the scope. Surface type, contamination, frequency and drying time are particularly important.

What information should I send first?

Send the property address, a short description, safe photographs and any existing reports. Add access times, the person authorising the work and the outcome you need.

Guides and practical advice

Read the cleaning and hygiene planning guide for useful preparation and decision points. Repair versus replacement helps compare options where the condition of a building element or asset is part of the decision. Official guidance provides further context for the work.
