Scope

What's included

What's in scope and how often we visit gets agreed with the managing agent or RMC first, then written into the schedule so every visit covers the same areas.

  • Entrance lobby, communal corridors and stairwells vacuumed or mopped to the agreed schedule
  • Handrails, banisters, light switches and intercom panels wiped
  • Lift floor, walls and mirror cleaned; door tracks cleared of grit
  • Communal glazed doors, vision panels and reachable internal glass cleaned
  • Bin and refuse store floor swept, spills dealt with, fly-tipping flagged in the report

Move-out detail

  • Stairs vacuumed or mopped, edges and nosings included
  • Handrails and banisters wiped along the full run
  • Skirting boards, sills and reachable ledges dusted; marks spot-cleaned off walls

Common problems

Typical issues we tackle

  • Salt, mud and leaf litter tramped through the lobby and onto the stairs
  • Fingerprints and scuffs on communal glass, handrails and intercom panels
  • Grit and dropped litter building up in lift door tracks
  • Bin store spills, overflow and the odd bit of fly-tipping left for someone to deal with

Pricing factors

What affects the quote

No fixed prices. Scope, condition, and access all feed into the final figure.

  • 01Number of floors, cores and separate blocks on the contract
  • 02Visit frequency (weekly, fortnightly or monthly works out differently per visit)
  • 03Whether there's a lift, a bin store, communal carpet, and how much glass there is
  • 04Parking and access at the block, plus how the cleaner gets in (key, fob or code)

3 steps

How it works

  1. 01Tell us the block, the floors and what you want covered. We'll usually do a quick look before quoting anything with stairs and a bin store.
  2. 02We send a written scope and a price per visit at the frequency you want, and agree how access works.
  3. 03Cleans run to the schedule and each visit is signed off, so you and the leaseholders can see it was done.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Who's this for, agents or residents?

Both. Most of our block work is booked by managing agents, freeholders and RMCs, but residents' committees and landlords with a few flats arrange it too. The buyer is whoever holds the service charge budget and answers to the leaseholders.

How do you deal with access when the block's empty during the visit?

Communal areas are usually unmanned when we clean, so we sort access up front: a key, a fob or a door code held securely, and we agree it before the first visit. If a code changes or a fob stops working, tell us early or we lose a visit standing outside.

Do you leave a record that the clean happened?

Yes. Leaseholders notice when a stairwell gets skipped and they email the agent, so each visit is signed off. We can leave a dated sheet in the lobby, send an email, or send photos, whatever keeps your residents off your back.

Can you change how often you come during the year?

Yes. Plenty of blocks step up to weekly over winter for salt and mud in the lobby, then drop back to fortnightly. We'll re-quote per visit at the new frequency.

What about bins and fly-tipping?

The routine visit sweeps the bin store floor and clears spills. We don't move bins to the kerb or haul away dumped furniture, but we flag overflow, contamination and fly-tipping on the visit sheet so you can chase the council or the bulky-waste collection.

Is this the same as your office cleaning?

No. These are residential common parts, not a workplace, so the work is stairwells, lift, lobby and bin store rather than desks, kitchens and washrooms. And nobody's there to point things out on the day, which is why scope and reporting matter more.
