A dental practice carries a compliance burden few other workplaces do, and decontamination sits at the centre of it. The Clean Space provides dental practice cleaning across the UK for surgeries and dental clinics, with environmental cleaning that supports HTM 01-05 and CQC requirements, a documented decontamination-room routine, and vetted teams.
Dental practice cleaning in London and across the UK for surgeries and clinics. HTM 01-05 aware, CQC-aligned, decontamination-room support, DBS-checked, Purple Promise.
We clean dental practices to the standard a regulated, decontamination-led setting demands. The expertise signal that matters here is HTM 01-05. Our environmental cleaning is built to support the practice’s decontamination compliance, not undermine it. See also medical practice cleaning and care home cleaning.
Scope covers the practice room by room, with the decontamination room treated as the highest-risk area:
We document scope, frequencies and the room-by-room schedule before any work begins.
HTM 01-05 (Health Technical Memorandum 01-05: Decontamination in primary care dental practices) sets the decontamination standards dental practices work to, described at two levels, essential and best practice.
Decontamination of reusable instruments is the practice’s clinical responsibility; our role is the environmental cleaning around it, so the decontamination room, surgeries and high-touch surfaces are cleaned to a standard that supports the practice’s compliance rather than compromising it. We keep our role boundary clear: we provide environmental cleaning support, not instrument decontamination.
Four things matter most to a practice manager.
Our environmental cleaning supports HTM 01-05 and CQC requirements, with cleaning recorded against a documented schedule. The Infection Prevention Society dental audit tool is one way practices self-assess HTM 01-05 compliance; our records and colour-coded systems support that evidence base. We do not state a compliance claim we cannot evidence.
We map each room to its risk, with the decontamination room and surgeries prioritised, and agree the schedule with your practice manager.
We document methods, frequencies, colour-coding, COSHH paperwork and the recording approach for CQC and HTM 01-05 support.
We recruit or transfer staff under TUPE where applicable, vet and train them for the setting, and set up reporting.
Cleaning runs out of hours or around the appointment book, with high-touch disinfection prioritised.
Documented inspections keep standards consistent and inspection-ready.
Switching cleaning provider should not put a practice’s compliance at risk. Where TUPE applies, we transfer the existing team, re-vet and retrain them on our IPC methods and the decontamination-room routine, and plan the handover around the appointment book.
HTM 01-05 governs instrument decontamination, which is the practice’s clinical responsibility. We provide the environmental cleaning that supports it, cleaning the decontamination room, surgeries and high-touch surfaces to a standard that does not compromise compliance.
We work to CQC expectations and the IPC principles in CQC Dental mythbuster 38, and we record cleaning so a practice can evidence compliance at inspection.
Yes. We schedule out of hours or around the appointment book so cleaning does not disrupt patients.
Colour-coded equipment systems and IPC methods separate clinical and non-clinical areas, with COSHH-compliant products and prioritised high-touch disinfection.
Every operative is DBS-checked and trained for the dental setting, with training recorded.
Yes. London is our primary base for dental practice cleaning, with teams also in and around Bristol, Cambridge, Birmingham and Manchester.
