Our office cleaning service is designed around the way you work. Whether you operate a small studio, a busy call centre or multiple floors of open-plan offices, we tailor a schedule and checklist to suit your space, industry and operating hours.

We focus on the details that matter: hygienic washrooms, clean kitchens, dust-free equipment, and tidy desks that help your team stay productive and your clients feel confident the moment they walk in.

Landlords with serviced offices or mixed-use buildings requiring regular common-area and office cleaning.
Businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to established firms, seeking a dependable contracted cleaning partner.
Students running small enterprises from shared accommodation or studio spaces who need affordable but professional cleaning support.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep pricing fair and transparent, some items are excluded from a standard office cleaning visit but can be added on request:

Exterior window cleaning or work at height beyond safe reach without specialist access equipment.
Deep stain removal on carpets, upholstery or hard floors requiring specialist machinery.
Removal of large quantities of rubbish, builder’s waste or confidential shredding (we can recommend partners if needed).
IT equipment disassembly or internal cleaning of PCs, servers or specialist machinery.
Cleaning that requires industrial degreasers or hazardous chemical handling outside typical office use.

We always discuss your requirements in advance so you know exactly what is and is not included.

Our Office Cleaning Process

We follow a clear, professional process to ensure a smooth, reliable service from day one.

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact Catford Cleaners by phone, email or via our website form. We will ask a few key questions about your premises: size, layout, number of staff, existing cleaning arrangements and your preferred schedule (daily, weekly, evenings, early mornings, or weekends). Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation quotation and outline of recommended services.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most commercial spaces, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to walk through your office, confirm measurements and identify any particular requirements such as security procedures, access restrictions or sensitive areas. The survey ensures we allocate the right number of cleaners and the correct cleaning products and equipment for your building.

3. Preparation & Start of Service

Once you are happy to proceed, we agree a start date and cleaning schedule. Our trained moving teams of cleaners are fully briefed on your site, alarm codes (where appropriate), and health and safety procedures. We prepare a task checklist for each visit, so you know exactly what will be done and can easily give feedback or request adjustments. On the first clean, we may allow extra time to bring the office up to the standard we aim to maintain thereafter.

Transparent Pricing for Office Cleaning in London

We price our office cleaning fairly and transparently, based on:

Size and layout of your premises.
Frequency of visits (daily, several times a week, weekly, or ad hoc).
Level of usage – number of staff and visitors, and any high-traffic areas.
Special requirements such as out-of-hours work, key holding or enhanced disinfection.

We typically quote an hourly rate per cleaner or a fixed monthly contract price, so you can budget with confidence. There are no hidden charges: any additional services, such as deep cleans or carpet cleaning, are agreed in advance and itemised clearly.

Why Choose Professional Office Cleaning Over DIY

Some businesses try to manage cleaning in-house or ask staff to tidy as they go. In practice, this often leads to inconsistent hygiene standards and distraction from core work. A professional service from Catford Cleaners offers:

Consistent standards – Regular checklists and supervision ensure the same quality every visit.
Time savings – Your team can focus on their roles instead of emptying bins or scrubbing kitchens.
Hygiene expertise – We use appropriate cleaning products and methods for different surfaces and high-risk areas.
Risk reduction – Proper handling of chemicals, safe working practices and trained staff reduce accidents and damage.

Overall, professional cleaning is usually more cost-effective than using valuable staff time and buying retail-grade products and equipment.

Insurance, Safety and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Catford Cleaners operates with comprehensive cover and robust procedures, including:

Goods in transit insurance for any cleaning equipment or consumables we transport to and from your premises.
Public liability cover to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury associated with our work.
Trained moving teams of cleaners who receive ongoing training in health and safety, safe chemical use, manual handling, and site security.

Risk assessments and method statements can be provided for larger sites or where your own compliance procedures require documentation.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean effectively while looking after your premises, your people and the environment.

Surface protection – We select suitable products for different surfaces to avoid damage to flooring, furniture and equipment.
Respect for your workspace – Our teams are trained to treat documents, IT kit and personal belongings with care, leaving desks clean but undisturbed.
Sustainable choices – Wherever possible we use concentrated, low-waste cleaning products, microfibre cloths to reduce chemical use, and sensible dosing to minimise waste.
Waste management – We follow your recycling arrangements, separating general waste from recyclables and keeping bin areas tidy.

We are always happy to discuss greener product options or specific sustainability targets you may have for your building.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does office cleaning in London cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your premises, the frequency of cleaning and the type of work required. Smaller offices needing a weekly visit will pay less overall than a large multi-floor building requiring daily cleaning and periodic deep cleans. We normally price per hour per cleaner or agree a fixed monthly contract for regular clients, so you know exactly what to expect. After a brief discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras.

Can you provide same-day or urgent office cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice office cleaning in London. This can be helpful if you have an unexpected client visit, an internal event, or your usual arrangements have fallen through. Availability will depend on your location, the size of the job and the time of day, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve. For best results and value, we recommend setting up a regular schedule, but we understand that urgent situations do arise.

Are you insured while cleaning our offices?

Yes. Catford Cleaners is fully covered with public liability insurance and goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring to your site. This means you are protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident related to our work. Our cleaners are also properly trained and supervised, and we follow clear health and safety procedures to minimise risk. If your building manager or insurer requires copies of our certificates, we are happy to provide them as part of the onboarding process.

What is included in a standard office cleaning visit?

A standard visit typically includes dusting and wiping of desks and accessible surfaces, emptying bins, vacuuming carpets, mopping hard floors, and cleaning washrooms and kitchen areas. We also focus on high-touch points such as door handles, light switches and lift buttons. The exact checklist is tailored to your premises and may include reception areas, meeting rooms, corridors and stairwells. More intensive tasks such as deep carpet cleaning, external windows or post-builders cleaning are not included as standard but can be added when needed.

How far in advance should we book office cleaning?

For ongoing contracts, it is best to contact us at least one to two weeks before you would like the service to start. This gives us time to arrange a survey, agree specifications, complete paperwork and allocate a suitable team. If you need a one-off or short-notice clean, we will always try to help sooner if our schedule allows. Once your regular slot is in place, you can request occasional changes to times or dates with reasonable notice, and we will do our best to accommodate them.

Do you supply cleaning products and equipment?

In most cases, yes. We usually provide our own professional-grade cleaning products, cloths, mops and vacuum cleaners, so you do not need to store large quantities onsite. For some larger sites, or where clients prefer, we can work with your own agreed products or central stores. We are happy to discuss any preferences you have, such as low-fragrance or eco-labelled products, and ensure our choices are compatible with your surfaces and finishes.
