What is communal areas cleaning?
Communal areas are the parts of a building that everyone shares: the entrance, hallways, stairs, landings and lifts. Because they are used by every resident and visitor, they need regular cleaning to stay clean and safe.
We start with a free walkthrough to understand the building, how it is used, access arrangements and the areas that need the most attention. We then agree a clear specification and schedule for each building.
If you look after several buildings, each one has its own specification, while you deal with one point of contact for all of them. That keeps the standard consistent and saves you chasing different contractors.
If something in the building needs your attention, such as a broken light or damage, we let you know.
