Estate Cleaning Service

We provide a cleaning service Monday to Friday 6.00am to 2.00pm and Saturday 9.00am to 2.00pm

We provide a minimum cleaning service on bank holidays, and resume normal daily cleaning schedules after the bank holiday breaks

We aim to provide our residents with a consistent safe, clean and tidy environment, at all times, Our cleaning staff wear uniforms and are responsible for the general cleanliness of the estate. They have schedules of work to complete every day such as sweeping and mopping corridors, litter picking and dealing with bulk and domestic refuse.

Whilst we aim to maintain cleaning standards within communal areas to their best possible condition, we ask residents and visitors to support us in this aim and abide by their tenancy agreement which states:

‘You and everyone who lives with you must help make sure that any communal areas are kept clean, tidy and clear of any obstruction’

Your responsibilities as a resident

If you intend to dispose of bulky items please ensure that you put your bulky items outside of your block before 12 noon Monday – Friday where our cleaning staff can take it to storage areas, please do not put bulky items out on a Saturday or Sunday.
