Tailoring Our Services To Your Needs

Term Break Deep Cleans

We provide reliable day janitors for clients who require ongoing upkeep throughout the day. We ensure that areas like washrooms are kept fully stocked, replacing consumables such as toilet paper and hand soap.


Kitchenettes and communal areas are attended to, dishwashers, refrigerators, and worktops are managed to keep shared spaces organised and tidy.


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 facilities and deal with various maintenance requirements. Support is also available for particularly challenging tasks if necessary and depending on your specific needs.


Carpeting and Flooring

Deep clean carpet washing machine.

Our carpet and hard-floor cleaning for schools 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 flooring safe and presentable throughout the year.

Waste Management

Waste operators tip the contents of a yellow wheelie bin into the back of a green waste truck.
A clear and effective waste strategy is vital in any school. This is not only good for the environment but essential for educational purposes.
Our experienced team can implement (or support the implementation of) an effective waste strategy that causes minimal disruption. This includes the re-use, recycling and energy recovery of materials and use of compactors and recycling balers.

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 services are hazardous and require specialist access equipment. We provide affordable specialist cleaning in the South-East. 

 
Our team has many years’ experience using MEWPS (mobile elevated work platforms) like cherry-pickers, platforms and other access methods such as abseiling for hard-to-reach areas and always take care to observe health and safety regulations.

Windows

An extended telescopic window cleaning brush shoots water to clean.

Our mobile and on-site teams are highly trained in internal and external glazing cleaning in all environments.


We work on particularly hard to reach windows and areas requiring cladding and glazing cleaning. Often we may require 'reach and wash' apparatus, pressure washers and access equipment to work at height, but this won't disrupt or interfere with the goings-on around your school.

Maintenance

We provide maintenance covering the South-East, including training and managing on-site maintenance personnel in all educational environments. 

Services cover running water, electrical maintenance, general repair to fixtures and fittings, as well as painting, filling and more. Our partner, Grey-Water Drainage Solutions handles maintenance issues and upkeep in educational establishments.

Guttering and Drainage

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

Our partner team at Grey-Water Drainage Solutions have decades of experience identifying the 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 pressure pumps to navigate hard-to-reach passages including sewers, all internal and high-level drains such as guttering.

Exterior

Large clippers being used to cut tangled weeds.
Glazing, cladding, roofing, solar panels, parking, and more! We have access to a full range of pressure washers, steam cleaners, and gum removal equipment, including appropriate substances to remove graffiti and other challenging problems on school premises.

We ensure safe and effective access with MEWPs such as cherry-pickers, platforms and harnessing, where required.

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 routinely become blocked with mud, silt, sticks, and various other debris.


Maintaining storm drains around school premises can reduce the amount of debris build-up outside, ensuring none of it makes its way into the property.

School Areas we Service

Faculty Offices

Faculty office cleaning can be a challenging task with varying staffing levels, shifts and class schedules. We recruit and manage personnel that operate at various hours as required by your busy schedules.


Daily cleaning schedules and periodic tasks ensure your staff desks, phones, IT equipment, chairs, sills, kitchens and washrooms are maintained to the highest standard.

Student Block Management

Block of flat accommodation.
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.

Classrooms

In a classroom, wooden chairs stand on top of wooden desks and face the front where a blackboard is mounted on the wall.
A clean classroom is of vital importance to maintaining overall hygiene and wellbeing across the school environment. Surfaces should be thoroughly sanitised, reducing the opportunity for illness whilst keeping students and teachers safe. 

A reliable and consistent service is essential to ensure the schooling environment is always safe and at its best throughout term.

Cafeterias and Kitchens

We maintain hygiene in vital areas as your students are on their lunch breaks throughout the week, including cafeterias and their kitchens, along with staff break rooms. 

We ensure tables, chairs, handrails and high-risk touch points such as door handles are sanitised. Our staff clean and maintain high standards throughout the year to keep everyone safe and comfortable

Sports Facilities

Maintaining polished flooring in indoor sport facilities can be a challenge for inexperienced cleaners as the wrong products can present a slip hazard.

Our services include strips and re-seals, as well as regular buffing without creating hazards. Showers, changing rooms and venue seating are also cleaned, along with the washing of courts and tracks, and post-event services can be provided.

Washrooms

Washroom sinks with mirrors above them.

Our professional cleaners are swift and thorough when it comes to leaving washrooms and toilets in immaculate condition.


Among other areas, washrooms can be particularly hazardous for the spread of bacteria. We use tailored solutions to keep on top of any potential for the spread of disease and ensure all toilet roll and soaps are topped up at all times.
