Watch Our Case Study

Watch as Chris talks through all that's involved when it comes to block management.

The maintenance of flat and apartment blocks is key to a healthy living environment. Our team's top priority when it comes to block cleaning is ensuring all areas are cleaned to the highest standard so as to prevent any illness or visually unpleasant accommodation.

Tailoring Our Services To Your Needs

Contract Cleaning

A scrubber-dryer is used to polish a hard floor.

Contract cleaning services are at the heart of our business. As we're sure you know, a well-kept block of flats or apartments makes for a healthier, safer environment and minimises staff absences.


We work closely with our clients to formulate a suitable cleaning plan to best optimise the environment and ensure it's comfortable for everyone to be in.

Grounds Maintenance

The front grounds of a large commercial building.

People come and go from various block premises every day and this can put stress on the surrounding grounds with footfall and litter.


Reliable and consistent service is essential to ensure blocks are always at their best. Our operations are backed up with mobile support staff for quick resolution of any unforeseen events. Grounds maintenance is key to making a place attractive and eye-catching.

Waste Management

Waste operators tip the contents of a yellow wheelie bin into the back of a green waste truck.

Waste management can be challenging in this regard if you’re unfamiliar with waste streams.


Our waste operations work to a pre-determined schedule that reduces interruption to your block and keeps the cycle of waste outgoing consistently.


If there are ideal times in which you'd like waste off your faclities, we can work out suitable timetables.

Painting and Decorating

A man uses a plastering tool to lay adhesive for floor tiling.

When clients are paying annual service charges, they like getting good value for money. Concerns over maintenance and upkeep of a block can negatively impact residents impression of a property.


Not all marks or damage can be cleaned away however, therefore our on-site, multi-skilled operatives or mobile teams will either highlight or remedy with top quality painting and decorating.

Pest Control

Wasps flying to the side of a building.

On occasion you may find your block premises suffering with pest issues. These may start as a result of residential activity, or because of nearby developments having poor waste management and cleanliness.


If you are suffering with pigeons or seagulls, rodents, fleas or other critters, we have the tools and systems to remove the problem, reduce activity and prevent further occurrence.

Maintenance

A man in a yellow hard hat looks at a tablet for maintenance issues.

We provide maintenance solutions, including training and managing on-site maintenance personnel for a variety of site blocks in many different environments.


Services cover running water, general electrical maintenance, drainage, general repair to fixtures and fittings, painting, as well as anything else your block needs to ensure it's running smoothly and efficiently.

Steaming

A steamer cleaning a hard floor.

Steaming is highly effective at sanitising surfaces and removing particularly difficult stains and ingrained dirt.

Specialist steam cleaning - including all equipment, surfaces, fixtures and fittings, hard-to-reach areas - will keep these areas safe.


We also work in external areas to remove chewing gum and dirt from porous surfaces such as paving slabs.

Carpeting and Hard Flooring

Deep clean carpet washing machine.

Our carpet and hard-floor cleaning includes the use of extraction machines for built-up dirt, bonnet machines to improve presentation of larger areas, and steam cleaners for extra bacterial control. We remove chewing gum, perform strip and seals, and use Diamond Brite strip and polish along with carpet pile extraction. There are multiple options to choose from in order to keep your block presentable throughout the year.

Windows

An extended telescopic window cleaning brush shoots water to clean.

Our window cleaning services include all internal glass to apartments, shops, offices and lobbies. Services include removal of scale and other deposits with our specialist substances.


We use Reach-and-Wash for external glazing. For offices in managed buildings or high-rise buildings, our teams are trained to provide abseil window cleaning or hands-on window cleaning with access platforms.

Exterior, Cladding and Roofing

Large clippers being used to cut tangled weeds.

We have access to a full range of pressure washers and steam cleaners, including appropriate substances to remove graffiti and other challenging problems retail blocks or apartment blocks can come across if for example, they're positioned on a main road or around large public areas. 


We maintain safe and effective access with MEWPs/cherry-pickers, platforms and harnessing, where required.

High-Level

A cleaning technician uses a high-pressure water jet to wash the side of a building. They are working at height, standing on the platform of a cherry-picker.

High-level cleaning to larger blocks can potentially be hazardous and require specialist access equipment. We provide the most affordable specialist cleaning in the South-East with highly trained and certified operatives to carry out difficult cleans.

Our team have many years’ experience using specialist equipment for working at height and are adept in abseiling to hard-to-reach areas.

Drains and Guttering

A blocked gutter filled with twigs, leaves, and rain water.

The team at Grey-Water have decades-worth of experience identifying the root cause of blocked drains, fixing the problem without damaging any of the drains or surrounding materials and in doing so they prevent subsequent maintenance at any later date.


Grey-Water use top-of-the-line pressure pumps to navigate hard-to-reach passages including sewers, all internal and high-level drains such as guttering.

Storm Drains

A storm drain.

Storm drains prevent rain from accumulating on flat surfaces by safely channeling it into main drainage routes.


Storm drains often go without maintenance and can become blocked with mud, sticks, and various other debris.


Maintaining storm drains reduces the amount of debris build-up, ensuring a safe property.

Day Janitors

Our day janitors and maintenance support staff are available through either an 'on call' mobile area basis, or can be recruited for site-based roles.


Our janitors maintain high standards across all block premises and deal with various maintenance requirements that are needed. Support is also available for particularly challenging tasks if necessary and depending on your specific needs.

Block Areas we Service

Dorm Rooms

Two women lie on beds in a dorm room, with happy smiles on their faces. Two big luggage bags sit at the foot of the beds.

We offer periodic cleaning to dorm rooms at times that suit occupants. Dormitories can often go unchecked, but we employ trusted cleaners to empty bins, clean floors and sanitise surfaces without disturbing the setting or possessions of those who live there.


Our solutions leave dorm rooms fresh and smelling nice, and we always ensure clean air is cycled through rooms to mitigate mould.

Student Blocks

A large block of flats as shown from the side, above.
We provide cleaning and maintenance on communal and waste areas in student accommodation, including chutes, lift lobbies and receptions. External areas such as grounds, glazing, fixtures and fittings can also be attended to. 

Services include using ride-on equipment and waste management as necessary in whatever capacity required to keep accommodation looking great.

Offices

Interior of an office space with tables and computers in the middle. One one side is a large window that acts as the wall.
Office blocks can become a nuisance if unattended, what with dust build-up, full bins and skips, general debris that litters floors and desks, and hidden bacteria that can thrive in unmaintained conditions.

We use a range of chemicals and solutions to prevent the spread of bacteria and keep office spaces in the best condition, promoting healthy and safe working environments.

Washrooms

Sinks and mirrors in a washroom.

Washrooms are high-traffic areas that need sufficient capacity for visitors, especially in communal blocks. Our day janitors and specialist teams keep these areas well maintained and presentable so users feel comfortable using the facilities and know they're safe from bacteria and other pathogens.


We also ensure there is no accumulation of dirt and that the risk of blockages are at their minimum.

Communal Kitchens

A dining space with plants and a table. A large blackboard with ingredients stands to the side.
In blocks like student accommodation or office spaces, kitchens are used by many people and, as such, can become messy or harbour bacteria. Our operatives are skilled in surface disinfection and steaming, and we can replace kitchen rolls and other sundries.

Kitchen areas are especially important to keep clean at all times, so we take extra care to ensure they are clean, welcoming spaces.

Recreation Rooms

A rec room with a bar, seats, and a television.

Recreation rooms are spaces to relax and can sometimes be found as communal spaces in blocks of offices or accommodation.


As rec rooms are used by many people at different times of the day, we establish regularly scheduled cleaning to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for those who need to use them. This will include disinfection, sweeping, vacuuming, and waste disposal.

Block Management is the management of services within the communal block areas of residential apartments or commercial offices. We have the best tooling available to ensure our teams operate in a manner that pleases clients and residents. Following a methodical process ensures we have a low turnover of staff and meet SLA's year-round with staff who are entrusted and empowered to work remotely and as lone workers.


Our specialist mobile cleaning technicians are generally brought in to deep clean a wide variety of areas, avoiding potential disagreements amongst residents or tenants blaming each other for weed-filled gardens or build-up of dirty communal areas, for example. Our daily operatives will maintain standards until the next round of works are due.
