Ethical cleaning for public buildings and community spaces

We provide professional, consistent cleaning services for councils, local authorities and public sector organisations. From civic centres and community buildings to shared offices and public-facing spaces, we support safer, more welcoming environments with every clean.

Our approach to cleaning public sector estates

We tailor our services to the way your sites operate, whether it’s a single town hall or a complex estate made up of offices, libraries, community hubs and shared services.

  • Our teams are trained in safeguarding, site protocols and risk management. We carry out site-specific inductions and work closely with your teams to meet compliance and access requirements.

  • We clean shared and customer-facing areas with care, attention and consistency — helping you maintain trust and service quality in spaces used by the public.

  • We work to clear KPIs and SLAs, with real-time quality audits and transparent reporting to support contract oversight and performance reviews.

  • As a Real Living Wage employer and founding member of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter, we deliver on your social value goals through inclusive employment, environmental responsibility and long-term local impact.
