Office Cleaning London A survival guide part 1

Office cleaning in London is an ultra competitive market place. Supply 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.

Innovative? We offer online cleaning quotes, we are an environmentally friendly cleaning company who use environmentally friendly products & eco friendly cleaning pratices, are extremely competitive, concentrate on office & commercial cleaning london & the surrounding areas so our supervision does not become diluted.
