Office Cleaning in London

Bored receptionist wanting a quote in Mayfair for their office cleaning, I’ve been to quite a few around this way recently, lots of investment banks are relocating here (cheaper rent than the city apparently & closer to their Chelsea/N Hill gaffs) & like this today the traditional old school money types who been in this area for centuries.

These old tie types live in a different era from us, we are tradesmen/servants, they are also tight-fisted, you do not keep hold of it for that long without keeping hold of it.

Office cleaning for them is the usual plush foot deep carpet with expensive but garish fittings, they currently employ an old dear who is too ill too carry on, I doubt they will change to us just yet, & the price will be too high, maybe when it dawns on them that they may have to do it themselves.

2^nd cleaning quote in Camden, record company who have a, and I quote “a relaxed working atmosphere”, but are unhappy with their cleaning. We work for all sorts, new start ups, young trendy clients or old fashioned co’s, but when the office cleaning is not done properly they are never relaxed about it. You would think that the world had stopped judging by their reactions if the cleaning has not been done or something missed.

All business by their nature are merciless, record companies to cleaning companies, & the abuse gets amplified the lower down it goes, and being at the bottom as we are in the scheme of these things it tends to come down hard & often because they are getting it from somewhere above & need to pass it on to those below. Cleaning Karma, misplaced blame is the name of our game, dispose of it along with waste as directed.

This being said we may have a chance with this one, the girl, is looking out for herself & doesn’t give a monkeys about contract cleaning but is interested in the freebie we’re giving away, which is the purpose of it.

Office Cleaning

Day to day life for office & contract cleaning companies is tough, the best you can hope for from your clients is not to get to noticed.

People do not see office cleaners or cleaning & what they notice is what has NOT been done rather than what has been done.

To mis-paraphrase Tony Blair “it’s a lose/lose situation”

This is not a negative attitude merely the truth, clients in London lead busy lives & do not wish to have the hassle of dealing with cleaning, hence they employ companies like ours.

Office cleaning in London is an ultra competitive market place. With supply very probably outstrips demand, with cleaning companies fighting over each other in order to survive.

How does a company get by in such a tough environment?

Office cleaning is a relatively easy business to set up in, low overheads, not much initial outlay or training. This leads to the one end of the office cleaning company chain, the man with a van.

The man with a van has no virtually no overheads, does the work him/herself & carries out the job at the lowest possible price.

At the other end of the spectrum are the international cleaning companies who offer national & international coverage & are publicly listed companies driven by accountants & shareholders employing cleaners en mass.

In between sit companies like mine ICS Cleaning, small to medium sized cleaning companies who have the backup & resources to cover work, meet the statutory requirements, offer training & backup for our staff but cannot compete on a price basis with man with a van type companies, and do not have the budgets & resources of the global giants.

How do we survive? By offering a better service, making sure all the health & safety checks are carried out & implemented, having excellent customer service, being innovative.
