Frequently Asked Questions
We have a completely flexible approach and will attend your premises at the time that suits your use of the site. This can be early mornings, before any of your staff arrive, during the day, or in the evening after everyone has left for the day.
We have comprehensive insurance cover which, amongst other things, covers Public Liability for £10,000,000 and employer’s liability for £10,000,000. We also have cover for loss of keys.
Our service is tailored entirely to your requirements. We have a very broad mix of clients and for some, we will only attend once or twice per week. For other larger clients, we will have many cleaners on site at least five days per week. We build our service around what you need.
No. Due to the way in which we train, remunerate and manage our staff, we have very high retention rates. We still have some team members who joined us when the company started in 1988.
Yes, as far as is practical. We always try to maintain continuity by using the same staff on a client’s contract. This helps to build extensive knowledge of the site, a healthy relationship and trust between the cleaning team and the client, and leads to increased security for our customers.
Yes. All managers and supervisors receive comprehensive training to enable them to manage the sites under their supervision in line with Total Clean’s guidelines and required standards. Each of our cleaning operatives receives comprehensive in-house and in-situ training in all areas required for them to skilfully perform their duties. All Health and Safety issues and key company policies are covered in their initial training and induction.
Yes. As part of our rigorous recruitment process, following interview, we obtain a previous employer’s reference and required proof of address and entitlement to work in the UK. We also require a copy of their passport and driving licence for our records. Where required, staff will also be DBS checked, to ensure additional security for our clients.
Commercial customers are invoiced per calendar month and are given 30 day terms from invoice date.
Yes. Generally, we supply all the labour, equipment, machinery and materials required to carry out all our cleaning tasks within the agreed price. Additionally, we regularly supply consumables such as toilet rolls, hand towels, refuse sacks, bin liners etc., which would be invoiced at the end of each calendar month.
We believe our prices are very competitive, but do not publish a fixed hourly rate. All jobs are priced according to the service required, whether it be a domestic or commercial service, a builders clean or a one-off deep clean. A number of variables will impact the final calculation of the rate such as equipment and materials.
Of course. We have nearly 30 years’ experience in dealing with new office cleaning contracts, which allows us to be thorough with planning and client liaison in order to make the changeover a seamless process. We will also deal with all appropriate legislation, so the only difference you will notice is the planned improvement in service and standards.

Dianne Meyer, Truphone
“My initial attraction to Total Clean was the backing of a large company with a small local business taking care of our facility cleaning. The cost was also important and found this to be competitive in the market place. I have found working with Samer is excellent and he will always take on board any issues raised and resolving them in a timely manner, it has been a refreshing change to know that he cares about the service he and his team are providing. As an example, due to the Coronavirus we required 2 extra hard surface cleans to be conducted at shift changeover, within a couple of days Samer put this in place and has continued since. The standard of cleaning has improved greatly and I have no issues in recommending Total Clean for their workmanship and commitment in doing a great job.”– Glenn Davies, Jardin Corrugated
