Built for managing agents and property managers

A managing agent is accountable for buildings they are not standing in every day. Communal cleaning is one of the few things every tenant and landlord sees, and it is one of the first things raised when it slips. Missed visits turn into complaints, and complaints turn into difficult meetings. 

We work to a written schedule per building, with a named account manager across your whole portfolio and one point of contact rather than a different number for every site. We log every visit, so when a landlord asks what happened and when, you have the answer in front of you instead of chasing it. 

Where you run several buildings, we hold the same standard across all of them. A consistent team attends each site, so operatives learn the building, the access arrangements and the quirks that make a difference. 

Mixed use development cleaning

A mixed use development is harder to clean well than a single-use building, because it is really several buildings sharing an entrance. Retail at ground floor, offices above, and a car park underneath, each with different hours, different footfall and different people responsible for them. 

We scope mixed use developments by zone rather than by floor. The retail frontage and the main lobby carry the footfall and set the impression, so they get the highest frequency. Office core areas work to the tenant’s hours. Car parks, bin stores and service corridors get their own schedule again, because they need different equipment. 

The point of separating them is billing as much as cleaning. Clean a development as one undifferentiated block and apportioning the cost across service charges becomes an argument. Scope it by zone and the schedule shows what happened where, so the apportionment follows the schedule. 

number-one

Zoned scheduling across retail, office and parking areas

Frequencies matched to footfall rather than applied flat across the site

number-3

Separate treatment for car parks, bin stores and service corridors

number-four

Records structured so you can apportion costs across service charges

Coordination across more than one occupier type

What we agree before we start

Communal cleaning goes wrong in predictable ways. Nobody wrote down the scope, frequencies drifted, and no one kept a record of what actually happened. We deal with that at the start rather than at the first complaint. 

Before the first visit we agree the areas covered and those excluded, the frequency for each area, the days and times of attendance, and the access arrangements. We also agree how issues reach you and how they escalate. We write all of it down, and it becomes the document we answer to. 

If your requirements change, we update the schedule rather than letting practice drift away from what was agreed. That matters most on a portfolio, where the gap between what is written and what happens is very hard to see until somebody complains.

I highly recommend the service provided by The Clean Space. The cleaners are very efficient and approachable. Simeon, the manager of our school site, always manages to work with the demands of the school, especially when it comes to last minute requests. He is very supportive and always there when needed.

I work for a large housing association and we took on The Clean Space to be the main cleaning provider for our offices. The transition to Clean Space was very smooth during a difficult and trying time as the support was top tier. The cleaning manager, operations manager and others were on hand to deal with every bump in the road and we have since had a very good cleaning service. Any issues are dealt with quickly and with minimal fuss.

The Clean Space is our main cleaning provider. It was a very smooth and easy transition over to The Clean Space. The new Cleaning manager has been very supportive and all issues are dealt with quickly. So far so good.

I would definitely recommend The Clean Space. I use them two large offices in central London and the service is wonderful. Not only are the prices great, but they're an ethical company who treat their staff well. My area manager Ayo is very responsive and always happy to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Cleanspace took over from an incumbent contractor who were not performing and we couldn't be happier with their service. Great staff care, very flexible and reactive to our needs and just a nice bunch of people to work with. I would 100% recommend them to anyone

They are very efficient and respond to issues promptly. We have a dedicated line manager (Simeon) who works well with the school.

Frequently asked questions about Communal Area Cleaning

Yes. Portfolio work is most of what our communal area cleaning does. You get one named account manager across every building rather than a separate contact per site, one schedule format so the buildings compare cleanly, and reporting you can pass to landlords without reformatting it. Adding or removing a building is a change to the schedule rather than a new contract each time. 

We scope by zone rather than by floor. Retail frontage, office core areas and parking or service areas each get their own frequency and method, matched to footfall and to the hours each occupier keeps. We structure the records by zone as well, which makes the service charge apportionment considerably easier to defend. 

You hear it from us first. We log and flag a missed visit rather than quietly absorbing it. At the start we agree whether we make it up, credit it, or handle it another way. The point is that you are not finding out from a tenant. 

Yes. We agree the reporting format at the start so it suits how you report upwards. We log each visit with the date, the areas covered and anything raised, and defect reports go to you as they arise rather than waiting for a monthly summary. 

Yes. London is our primary base, with teams also in and around Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Cambridge. Free site surveys are available for buildings elsewhere in the UK.
