Step-by-Step Office Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & no-obligation quote
You can contact Cleaners Dulwich by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your office size, layout, current cleaning issues and preferred times. Based on this, we give an initial guide price and explain what’s included. There is no pressure to commit; we’re happy to answer detailed questions so you know exactly what you’re getting.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For most offices we recommend a brief survey. This can be done via photos, video call or an onsite visit, depending on your preference and schedule. During the survey we:
- Measure or confirm floor space and room types
- Identify high-traffic and high-touch areas that need extra attention
- Check access, alarms and any building rules
- Agree any add-ons such as deep cleaning or periodic carpet cleaning
After the survey, we confirm your tailored cleaning plan and final quote in writing.
3. Preparation and first clean
Once you’re happy to go ahead, we schedule your start date. We allocate a regular team of trained cleaners, briefed specifically on your site. Before the first clean, we:
- Agree keyholding, alarms and access protocols
- Prepare a task list and frequency schedule for each area
- Arrange equipment and materials, including eco-friendly options if requested
During the first few visits, we may adjust timings and tasks slightly based on real conditions, always keeping you informed.
Transparent Pricing for Office Cleaning
We charge for office cleaning in Dulwich primarily on time required, frequency and complexity. Key factors include:
- Size of the office space and number of rooms
- Type of flooring and furnishings
- Number of staff using the space and daily footfall
- Required frequency – daily, several times per week, weekly, or ad hoc
- Any specialist tasks such as clinical areas or periodic deep cleans
All costs are clearly itemised before you agree to anything. We don’t charge hidden fees for travel within Dulwich, and any changes to the scope are discussed and confirmed in advance.
Why Professional Office Cleaning Beats DIY
While in-house cleaning might seem cheaper at first glance, a professional service provides consistent standards and protects your staff and visitors. Our professional cleaners are trained in correct products and methods for different surfaces, helping to avoid damage to carpets, finishes and equipment. We focus on high-touch areas, infection control and correct chemical dilution, which ad-hoc cleaning often misses. You also avoid the cost and hassle of buying, storing and maintaining equipment and supplies, and you’re not relying on busy staff to clean on top of their core roles.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Cleaners Dulwich operates to robust standards to protect your premises and reputation:
- Public liability cover – protecting you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during cleaning
- Goods in transit insurance – covering cleaning equipment and materials we move in and out of your building
- Fully insured teams – documentation available on request for your records or building management
- Trained cleaning staff – inducted in safe systems of work, COSHH and site-specific requirements
Our teams wear appropriate clothing, respect confidentiality and follow any sign-in and security procedures you require.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every office as if it were our own workplace. That means taking care around IT equipment, cables and personal items, and reporting any issues we notice while on site. Where practical, we use low-impact products and sensible dosing to minimise chemical use without compromising hygiene. We separate recyclable waste if your building provides the facilities, and we maintain equipment properly so it runs efficiently and quietly. Our aim is to support a healthy, comfortable environment for your staff, clients and visitors while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does office cleaning in Dulwich cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of your office, how often you need us and the level of detail required. Smaller offices needing a weekly clean will naturally pay less than multi-floor premises requiring daily attention and washroom services. After a short discussion and survey, we provide a clear, tailored quotation so you know exactly what’s included and how long each visit will take. There are no hidden extras; any optional add-ons, such as carpet or deep cleaning, are priced separately and agreed in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent office cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent or one-off cleans in Dulwich, for example after an internal event, minor incident or last-minute inspection. Same-day attendance is subject to availability of a suitable team and access arrangements, so calling us as early as possible is helpful. For regular clients, we can often build some flexibility into the contract to allow for additional visits when needed. We’ll always be honest about what we can realistically achieve within the time you have.
Are you insured while working in our office?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover in place, along with goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring to your premises. This provides peace of mind in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident while we are on site. Our documentation can be supplied to you or your building management for approval before work begins. In addition, our trained teams follow safe working practices designed to minimise risks to your staff, visitors and property.
What is typically included in a standard office clean?
A standard office clean usually covers desks and surfaces wiped, bins emptied, floors vacuumed or mopped, washrooms cleaned and disinfected, and kitchen or break areas tidied and sanitised. We also focus on high-touch points such as door handles, light switches and shared equipment where appropriate. The exact specification is agreed with you in advance and written into your cleaning schedule. If you require periodic extras, such as internal fridge cleaning, blinds dusting or deeper washroom descaling, these can be added as one-off or scheduled tasks.
How far in advance do I need to book regular office cleaning?
For ongoing, contract-style office cleaning, we generally recommend allowing one to two weeks from initial enquiry to first clean. This gives time for a proper survey, quotation, paperwork and allocating the right team to your site. However, if you have a tighter deadline, we will always look at our rota to see what can be arranged. Once your schedule is in place, your visits are reserved on a recurring basis, and any changes to times or frequency can be discussed with reasonable notice.
