What Our Industrial Cleaning Includes
Our industrial cleaning covers the production, workshop and support areas of your site, using methods and products chosen for oil, dust, swarf and heavy foot traffic. Everything is set out in a written specification that names each area, task and frequency, along with any parts of the site we do not enter.
Production and Workshop Floors
Floors are swept and scrubbed to remove dust, oil and debris, with degreasing where floors have built-up residue. Clean floors reduce slip risks, keep safety markings visible and make leaks and spills easier to spot.
Machine Surrounds and Work Areas
We clean around machinery, workbenches and production lines: floors, the outside of machine guards where agreed, and the areas where dust and offcuts collect. We do not clean inside machinery unless it has been isolated by your team and the task is covered by a method statement.
Welfare Facilities and Offices
Canteens, changing rooms, washrooms and site offices are cleaned to an office standard, because the people working on the floor rely on them every shift.
Waste Points and Trade Counters
Bin stores and waste collection points are kept tidy, and customer-facing trade counters are cleaned before opening so the first impression matches your business.
Industrial Cleaning Tasks by Area
| Area | Typical tasks | Typical frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Production floor | Sweep, clear debris, spot-clean spills | Daily or each shift |
| Floor scrub and degrease | Machine or manual scrub, remove oil residue | Weekly to monthly |
| Machine surrounds | Clear dust and offcuts around equipment | Daily or weekly |
| Welfare and washrooms | Clean canteen, changing rooms, toilets | Every visit |
| Trade counter | Floors, counter, glass and display areas | Every visit |
| Shutdown deep clean | Full floor, high-touch and hidden areas | During shutdowns |
Who Our Industrial Cleaning Is For
Our industrial cleaning is for manufacturers, workshops and trade businesses across Bexley and Thamesmead that need a clean, safe working floor.
- Light manufacturing and assembly units with production lines and packing areas.
- Engineering and fabrication workshops where dust, swarf and oil build up daily.
- Food and drink production support areas, such as welfare, offices and packaging zones. Specialist food-contact cleaning is quoted only where we can meet your hygiene plan.
- Trade counters and builders' merchants with a customer area in front of a warehouse.
- Vehicle workshops and depots with oily floors and busy welfare facilities.
- Industrial estate landlords preparing units between tenants.
Health and Safety on Industrial Sites
Industrial cleaning is only as good as the safety controls behind it, so every site has a risk assessment before work starts, and we agree the rules for each area with your supervisor.
COSHH and Cleaning Chemicals
Every cleaning product we use is assessed under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002, with a safety data sheet on file. Products are stored and used as the assessment says, including degreasers that need extra controls. Our guide explains how COSHH applies to cleaning.
Method Statements, PPE and Isolation
Higher-risk tasks, such as cleaning near production lines, have a method statement setting out the steps, hazards and controls. Our cleaners wear the PPE your site requires, follow exclusion zones and never touch machinery that has not been isolated by your own team.
Site Inductions and Permits
We complete your site induction and follow any permit-to-work system before cleaning restricted areas. Use our factory cleaning checklist to see the controls we look for on a typical site.
Shutdown and Changeover Cleaning
Planned shutdowns are the best time to deep clean a factory, because production areas are empty and machinery is already isolated.
Before the Shutdown
We visit the site beforehand to agree the areas, sequence and timings, so the clean fits into your shutdown window alongside maintenance work.
During and After
Floors are scrubbed and degreased, high-touch and hidden areas are cleaned, and welfare areas are deep cleaned. The site is handed back ready for production, with a list of anything we found that needs attention. Shutdown cleans can also be booked through our commercial deep cleaning service.
How Often Should a Factory Be Cleaned?
Most factories need production floors and welfare areas cleaned daily or every shift, floor scrubbing and degreasing weekly to monthly, and a full deep clean during each planned shutdown.
| Frequency | Usually suits |
|---|---|
| Every shift | Multi-shift production with heavy dust, swarf or oil |
| Daily, Monday to Friday | Single-shift factories and busy workshops |
| Two or three times a week | Light assembly, small workshops and trade counters |
| At each shutdown | Deep cleans of production areas while machinery is isolated |
Cleaning usually happens between shifts, early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, so it never slows production. Large floors can be split into sections so part of the site always stays in use, and periodic work can be booked as hard-floor scrubbing and maintenance.

How Much Does Industrial Cleaning Cost?
Industrial cleaning is priced from the hours and controls your site needs, so the cost depends on floor area, the type of soiling, safety requirements and how often you need cleaning.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Type of soiling | Oil, swarf and heavy dust take longer than general dirt |
| Floor area and access | Large floors and tight machine layouts add cleaning time |
| Safety controls | Inductions, permits and PPE add time to each visit |
| Frequency and timing | Short windows between shifts need more cleaners at once |
| Shutdown work | Deep cleans during shutdowns are priced as a separate visit |
You get a fixed price per month or per visit, itemised against your specification, after a free site survey.
