Our Step-by-Step Office Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details of your office: location, approximate size, number of staff, current cleaning issues and preferred schedule. We’ll ask the right questions to understand what you need and provide an initial indication of pricing. For many smaller offices, we can give a clear, written quote based on this information alone.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex sites, we recommend a short survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Bermondsey. We review floor layout, flooring types, washroom and kitchen facilities, access arrangements and any security requirements. This allows us to design a realistic cleaning schedule and allocate the right number of trained cleaners for consistent standards.
3. Preparation & Start of Service
Once you’re happy with the quote, we agree a start date and cleaning times. We assign a regular team leader, arrange secure key holding if required and prepare a site-specific checklist. On the first clean we allow extra time to bring the office up to the standard we’ll then maintain on each visit. You receive a point of contact to discuss any adjustments as your needs change.
Transparent Pricing Explained
We keep our pricing straightforward and easy to understand. Most Bermondsey offices are charged a fixed hourly rate based on:
- Size and layout of the office
- Frequency of cleaning (daily, a few times per week, weekly, etc.)
- Level of use – light, standard or heavy traffic
- Any added services such as deep cleans or carpets
All quotes are provided in writing with no hidden extras. Materials and equipment are included unless you specifically request the use of your own supplies. Any additional work outside the agreed schedule is always discussed and approved before we proceed.
Why Choose Professional Office Cleaning Over DIY?
As tempting as it can be to share cleaning tasks among staff, a professional service delivers a different level of consistency and hygiene. Our professional cleaners are trained in correct chemical use, colour-coded systems to prevent cross-contamination, and effective techniques for washrooms, kitchens and high-touch areas. This directly supports staff wellbeing and reduces sickness levels.
DIY cleaning often slips when workloads increase, and standards vary from person to person. With a contracted service, you know exactly what will be done, when, and by whom. You also avoid asking employees to perform tasks outside their actual roles, which can affect morale and productivity.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Bermondsey Cleaners operates to strict professional standards so your office is always in safe hands:
- Public liability cover – comprehensive protection in case of accidental damage or injury during cleaning.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers our equipment and materials when transported to and from your premises.
- Trained teams – all cleaners receive induction training, ongoing supervision and clear site instructions.
- Full vetting and right-to-work checks on every member of staff.
- Clear risk assessments and method statements for higher-risk tasks.
We take care around valuable equipment, confidential paperwork and client areas, and we’re happy to sign NDAs for sensitive environments.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every Bermondsey office as if it were our own. Surfaces are cleaned with appropriate products to protect finishes, and we always work around cables and IT equipment with care. Where possible, we use low-odour, environmentally considerate products that still provide strong disinfection, particularly in washrooms and kitchens.
We encourage sensible practices such as using reusable microfibre cloths, measured chemical dosing and correct waste segregation in line with your building’s recycling arrangements. Our aim is to deliver a consistently clean, safe workspace while minimising unnecessary environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does office cleaning in Bermondsey cost?
Pricing depends on your office size, layout, usage and how often you’d like us to clean. Most clients are charged a simple hourly rate, with a minimum visit length to ensure we can complete the agreed tasks properly. During our quotation we’ll discuss your requirements, recommend a realistic number of hours and provide a written breakdown so you can see exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras, and any periodic deep cleans or carpet cleaning will be priced and agreed in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent office cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange urgent or short-notice cleaning in Bermondsey, particularly for one-off events, spillages or pre-visit refreshes. Availability will depend on the time of day and the size of the job, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve. For regular office cleaning, we recommend setting up a planned schedule, and then using ad-hoc visits for unexpected situations. Contact us by phone for the fastest response to urgent requests.
Are you insured to work in our office?
Yes. Bermondsey Cleaners is fully covered with public liability insurance and appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. This means that, in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident during cleaning, there is proper protection in place. All staff are trained in safe working practices to minimise risks, and we can provide copies of our insurance certificates and risk assessments on request. We’re also experienced in working within secure buildings and following site-specific policies.
What exactly is included in your office cleaning service?
Our standard service focuses on keeping your working environment clean, hygienic and presentable. This usually includes desks, worktops, reception areas, kitchens, toilets, internal glass, bins and floors, along with high-touch points such as handles and switches. The exact checklist is tailored to your building and agreed with you before we start. We can add periodic deep cleans, carpets, upholstery and hard floor maintenance if needed. Anything not covered as standard will be clearly identified and, where possible, offered as an additional or specialist service.
How far in advance should we book regular office cleaning?
For ongoing office contracts, it’s best to contact us at least one to two weeks before your ideal start date. This gives us time to survey the site if necessary, agree a specification, schedule the right trained team and arrange any key holding or security passes. If you need to begin sooner, we will always check our rota and do our best to accommodate you. Once your schedule is in place, you’ll have a regular team and a clear, consistent routine for your office cleaning.
