Communal cleaning in Anerley, questions answered
- What does communal block cleaning include?
- Internal communal areas first: lobbies, stairwells, landings, handrails, lifts, internal glass and bin stores, floors vacuumed and mopped, touch points wiped. We also cover external areas like entrance doors, communal windows, and forecourts or bin areas jet washed. The exact scope is agreed and written down at the site visit, so everyone knows what is and isn't included.
- How often should communal areas be cleaned?
- It depends on the size of the block and how much footfall it gets. A busy block of flats usually wants a weekly internal clean; a smaller, quieter block is often fine fortnightly. External glass and jet washing are scheduled less often, monthly or quarterly. We recommend a frequency at the site visit and you can adjust it later.
- How much does communal area cleaning cost?
- It is priced per block as a fixed monthly figure, set from a quick site visit and the visit frequency you need, not an hourly rate. Small blocks often start from around £18 a visit; larger blocks and portfolios are quoted on site. You always get the price in writing before we start.
- Are you insured, and do you provide risk assessments?
- Yes. We carry public liability insurance and send the certificate with your quote. Every block gets a site-specific risk assessment and method statement (RAMS), with COSHH information for the products we use. DBS checks are available for schemes that require them.
- Can you clean the communal areas of an HMO?
- Yes. We clean shared halls, stairs, kitchens and bathrooms in HMOs on a scheduled round, which helps landlords meet the communal-area standards in their HMO licence. We can provide photo reports as a record for the local authority.
- Who pays for communal cleaning, and how is it billed?
- Communal cleaning is normally recovered through the service charge, so we invoice the managing agent, freeholder or RMC, not individual leaseholders. We bill monthly at the agreed figure, which keeps it simple to budget and reconcile.
- Can you cover more than one block?
- Yes, that is what we are built for. We handle portfolios of blocks across South London with one point of contact, one schedule and one monthly invoice. As you win more instructions, we scale up with you.
- Can you clean the outside of the building too?
- Yes. Communal cleaning pairs naturally with gutter clearing, pressure washing of forecourts and bin areas, and roof cleaning. We can also soft wash render and brickwork. Booking it together means one contractor and one visit where possible.
