Commercial Cleaning FAQs

Several factors influence the cost of commercial cleaning, and understanding them helps ensure you receive a quotation that accurately reflects your requirements.

The main factors include:

• The size of your premises
• The number of cleaning visits each week
• The number of washrooms and kitchen areas
• Floor types such as carpet, vinyl or hard flooring
• The number of desks, meeting rooms and communal areas
• Specialist cleaning requirements
• Security or access restrictions
• Specialist training
• Staff Wages
• The supply of washroom consumables and hygiene products

At Swift Office Cleaning Services, every quotation is tailored to your building and working environment. We believe in providing the right number of cleaning hours to achieve consistently high standards, rather than offering unrealistically low prices that can compromise quality.

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotations for all commercial cleaning services.

One of our experienced surveyors will arrange a convenient time to visit your premises, discuss your cleaning requirements and assess your building. Following the survey, we'll prepare a bespoke cleaning specification together with a detailed quotation tailored to your business.

There is absolutely no obligation to proceed, and we're always happy to answer any questions you may have about our services, cleaning schedules or pricing before you make a decision.

In most cases, we provide a detailed quotation within one working day of completing your site survey.

For larger or more complex premises, we may require a little extra time to prepare a comprehensive cleaning specification and ensure the proposed service meets your operational requirements.

Our aim is to provide an accurate and well-planned quotation rather than a rushed estimate, giving you complete confidence in the service you're receiving.

No. We believe in honest, transparent pricing.

Your quotation will clearly explain the services included within your cleaning contract, along with any optional services such as carpet cleaning, window cleaning, washroom consumables or specialist cleaning.

If you request additional work outside your agreed cleaning specification, we'll always discuss the scope and any associated costs with you before carrying out the work. You'll never receive unexpected invoices or hidden administration charges.

Yes. Most of our commercial cleaning contracts are provided on a fixed monthly price, allowing you to budget with confidence.

Your monthly cost is based on the agreed cleaning specification, the number of cleaning hours required and the frequency of visits. This means you'll know exactly what your regular cleaning costs will be throughout the contract.

If your business grows, relocates or your cleaning requirements change, we'll simply review the specification and agree any amendments with you before making changes to the contract.

Like most commercial cleaning companies, we normally review our pricing annually.

The commercial cleaning industry is heavily influenced by changes to the National Living Wage, National Insurance, pension contributions, employment legislation and general inflation. These factors can affect the cost of delivering a high-quality cleaning service.

Should a price review be necessary, we'll always communicate with you in advance, explaining the reasons for the adjustment and providing plenty of notice. Our objective is to maintain excellent service while keeping pricing fair, competitive and transparent.

Yes. There are often ways to reduce cleaning costs without compromising cleanliness.

During a contract review, we may recommend adjusting the cleaning frequency, focusing on priority areas, reviewing your cleaning specification or scheduling specialist services less frequently.

Our goal is to provide the most efficient cleaning programme for your workplace. Rather than simply reducing cleaning hours, we'll work with you to identify practical savings while maintaining the standards your staff and visitors expect.

Yes. Although many of our clients choose regular contract cleaning, we also provide quotations for one-off commercial cleaning projects.

This may include deep office cleans, post-construction cleaning, end-of-tenancy commercial cleaning, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, floor restoration or preparing a building before occupation.

Every one-off cleaning project begins with a free site survey so we can understand your requirements and provide an accurate quotation based on the scope of work.

rice is important, but value is what delivers long-term results.

A quotation that appears significantly cheaper than others may not include enough cleaning hours, experienced supervision or appropriate staffing levels to maintain a consistently high standard of cleaning. This can often lead to poor service, frequent complaints, higher staff turnover and the need to change contractors sooner than expected.

At Swift Office Cleaning Services, we believe in providing realistic cleaning specifications, directly employed and fully trained staff, dedicated Area Managers, regular quality inspections and responsive customer support. Our focus is on delivering reliable, professional commercial cleaning that represents genuine value for money and helps your workplace remain clean, safe and welcoming every day.

The ideal cleaning frequency depends on the size of your office, the number of employees, how often customers visit and the type of work carried out within the building.

Busy offices with high footfall generally benefit from daily office cleaning to maintain a clean, hygienic and professional working environment. Smaller offices may only require cleaning two or three times per week, while low-occupancy workplaces can often be maintained with weekly visits.

During your free site survey, we'll assess your premises and recommend a cleaning schedule that provides the right balance between cleanliness, hygiene and cost. Our goal is to ensure your office always makes the right impression while remaining cost-effective for your business.

Our commercial office cleaning service covers every area of your workplace.

This typically includes reception areas, open-plan offices, private offices, meeting rooms, boardrooms, kitchens, staff breakout areas, washrooms, corridors, staircases, lifts and entrance areas.

Depending on your requirements, we can also clean internal glass, partition walls, IT equipment, high-touch surfaces, skirting boards, doors, light switches and other frequently used areas.

Every cleaning contract is built around a detailed site-specific cleaning specification, ensuring each area receives the appropriate level of attention and nothing is overlooked.

Yes. Staff kitchens and breakout areas are among the most important spaces to keep clean, as they are used daily by employees and visitors.

Our office cleaning service includes cleaning worktops, sinks, cupboards, tables, chairs, microwaves (externally and internally where agreed), refrigerators (where included within the specification), splashbacks and flooring.

Many clients choose to combine regular office cleaning with scheduled deep cleans throughout the year to maintain consistently high standards.

We supply professional cleaning products, equipment and machinery as part of our commercial cleaning service, meaning you don't need to source or manage these items yourself.

Where requested, we can also supply washroom consumables including toilet tissue, hand towels, soap dispensers and other hygiene products.

If your business has specific environmental policies or prefers certain cleaning products, we'll be happy to discuss incorporating approved products into your cleaning programme.

Absolutely.

Every business operates differently, which is why we create a bespoke cleaning specification for every client rather than offering a standard package.

During your free site survey, we'll discuss your priorities, working hours, budget and any specialist requirements before producing a tailored cleaning schedule that reflects how your building is actually used.

Your specification can include daily office cleaning, washroom services, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, floor maintenance, consumable management and specialist cleaning services. As your business changes, your cleaning specification can also be reviewed and updated, ensuring your cleaning service continues to meet your operational needs.

We provide commercial cleaning services for businesses across a wide range of industries and sectors.

Our clients include corporate offices, business parks, warehouses, logistics centres, manufacturing facilities, healthcare providers, schools, property management companies, retail premises and professional service organisations.

Where specialist industrial cleaning is required, we'll assess your requirements during the site survey and recommend the most appropriate solution.

Yes. We provide commercial cleaning services for healthcare environments, including medical offices, clinics and other healthcare premises.

Many of our clients operate in environments where additional security checks are required. We can arrange DBS-checked cleaning staff where this forms part of your site requirements, particularly within sectors such as education, healthcare and certain public sector environments.

If your organisation has specific security or compliance requirements, we'll discuss these during your site survey and ensure suitably vetted personnel are allocated to your contract wherever required.

Every member of our team receives a structured induction before starting work and continues to receive ongoing training throughout their employment.

Training covers safe working practices, health and safety, COSHH awareness, correct use of cleaning equipment and chemicals, infection prevention, customer service and site-specific cleaning procedures.

As cleaning methods, products and legislation evolve, we regularly update our training programmes to ensure our teams continue to work safely, efficiently and to the highest professional standards.

Yes. (Unless they require cover for holidays or sick days)

We understand the importance of consistency, particularly in offices where cleaners become familiar with your building, security procedures and cleaning requirements.

Our aim is to allocate dedicated cleaning operatives to each contract so that the same members of staff attend your premises on a regular basis. This helps build familiarity, improves efficiency and allows our cleaners to consistently maintain high standards.

Should changes become necessary due to holidays, sickness or other circumstances, replacement staff receive a full handover to ensure continuity of service.

Business continuity is an important part of our service.

If your regular cleaner is unavailable due to annual leave, sickness or other unforeseen circumstances, we'll arrange suitable cover wherever required to ensure your cleaning schedule continues with minimal disruption.

Our Area Managers coordinate staff cover and ensure replacement cleaners receive clear instructions about your site, cleaning specification and any specific requirements before attending.

This proactive approach helps maintain consistent cleaning standards and ensures your business continues to receive the service you expect.

Every cleaning contract is supported by a dedicated Area Manager who acts as your primary point of contact.

Your Area Manager carries out regular quality inspections, supports the cleaning team, monitors performance, resolves any issues promptly and works closely with you to ensure your cleaning service continues to meet your expectations.

In addition to routine inspections, our management team remains available to discuss changing requirements, additional services or any feedback you may have throughout the duration of your contract.

Whether your premises contain confidential information, controlled access areas or sensitive equipment, our cleaners are trained to work professionally and discreetly while respecting your organisation's security requirements.

Maintaining consistently high standards is one of our highest priorities.

Every contract operates to a detailed cleaning specification that clearly defines the tasks to be completed and the standards expected. Our dedicated Area Managers carry out regular quality inspections to monitor performance, provide feedback and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

We actively encourage client feedback and respond promptly to any concerns. If an issue is identified, we'll investigate it quickly, implement any necessary corrective actions and follow up to ensure the matter has been fully resolved.

If your premises are regulated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) or operate within an airport or aviation-related environment, we'll work closely with your management team to ensure our cleaning service meets your operational and security requirements. This may include complying with site induction procedures, security clearances, access control measures, health and safety protocols and any client-specific policies.

Our cleaning operatives are trained to work professionally, discreetly and safely in environments where security, confidentiality and compliance are essential.

Any agreed changes will be confirmed before they are introduced, ensuring complete transparency.

Yes. We understand that business requirements can change over time.

If you feel your cleaning specification no longer reflects your needs, we'll be happy to review the contract with you and recommend appropriate adjustments. Rather than simply reducing hours, we'll assess how the cleaning programme can be adapted to maintain standards as efficiently as possible.

Our priority is to provide a cleaning service that continues to deliver value while supporting the cleanliness and presentation of your workplace.

Yes.

Many of our clients choose to expand their cleaning programme over time as their business develops.

Additional services can include carpet cleaning, window cleaning, hard floor maintenance, washroom consumables, deep cleaning, daytime janitorial services and specialist cleaning projects.

Your dedicated Area Manager will be happy to discuss any new requirements and provide a quotation before additional services are introduced.

If your business relocates, we'll work closely with you to ensure your cleaning service moves with you wherever possible.

We'll arrange a site survey of your new premises, prepare an updated cleaning specification and review any changes to staffing, cleaning hours or equipment requirements before the move takes place.

Our aim is to provide a seamless transition so your new workplace is professionally cleaned from day one, helping minimise disruption during what is often a busy period for your business.

Yes.

After the initial contract period, your agreement can be ended by providing the required three months' written notice, in accordance with the terms of your contract.

Yes.

We regularly help businesses transition from their existing cleaning provider with minimal disruption. Whether you're changing contractors due to poor service, business growth or the end of an existing agreement, we'll carefully manage the mobilisation process from start to finish.

Our management team will prepare a detailed cleaning specification, recruit or transfer staff where appropriate, arrange training, deliver equipment and ensure all operational arrangements are in place before your contract begins.

Where the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) apply, we have extensive experience managing the process professionally and in full compliance with employment legislation. We'll work closely with all parties involved to help ensure a smooth transition for both your business and the cleaning team.

This question targets a highly relevant topic for businesses switching cleaning contractors. A clear explanation of TUPE, when it applies, and how Swift manages the process would demonstrate expertise and reassure prospective clients that changing providers doesn't have to be complicated. It also creates a strong opportunity to rank for niche, high-intent searches related to commercial cleaning contract transitions.

Where chemicals are stored on your premises, they are kept in designated secure storage areas to reduce the risk of unauthorised access or accidental misuse. Products remain clearly labelled and are only used by trained operatives following the correct dilution and handling procedures.

We also aim to minimise chemical usage wherever possible by selecting appropriate products, using accurate dosing systems where suitable and adopting efficient cleaning methods that maintain high standards while reducing unnecessary environmental impact.

Yes. We regularly provide commercial cleaning services within secure and regulated workplaces where health and safety, security and compliance are critical. Our management team works closely with each client to understand site-specific requirements before mobilisation.
