About This Service 

## School & Education Cleaning — At a Glance

### What is school and education cleaning?

A structured, scheduled cleaning service for schools, academies, colleges and universities — delivered by DBS-checked, safeguarding-trained teams to a written specification. It covers daily term-time cleaning and planned holiday deep cleans.

### What does the service include?

Classrooms, corridors, washrooms, reception areas, staffrooms, sports halls and communal spaces — all cleaned to a specified standard. Holiday programmes include deep cleans, floor restoration, high-level cleaning and builders cleans.

### Who is this service for?

Schools, academies, multi-academy trusts, colleges and local authority education estates across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. We support single sites and complex multi-site trust arrangements with centralised compliance reporting.

### How does quality get managed?

Digital inspection audits, named supervisors with regular site visits, and monthly performance reports keep standards visible and accountable. Use our free [School Cleaning Service Review](/ServiceReviewTool?sector=school) to benchmark your current contractor.

### How does a new contract get set up?

We conduct a free site survey, agree a written cleaning specification, manage any TUPE obligations for transferring staff, and complete a structured mobilisation before the contract begins — so everything is in place from day one.

### How do I get a quote?

You can [request a quote online](/CleaningQuote) or call us on 01482 226570 (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm). A free site survey is the best starting point — it lets us scope the work accurately and price transparently.

Contract Transitions 

## Mobilisation and TUPE Experience

Whether you're switching contractors or starting fresh, we manage every step of the transition with structure and care.

01 

### Site Survey

We assess the school layout, existing cleaning arrangements and service requirements before proposing anything.

02 

### Cleaning Specification

A written specification is agreed — covering areas, tasks, frequencies and shift patterns aligned to your timetable.

03 

### TUPE Consultation

Where existing staff transfer, we manage TUPE professionally — clear communication, honoured terms and no disruption to service continuity.

04 

### Staff Training & Induction

All operatives complete a site-specific induction covering safeguarding, the school layout and the cleaning specification.

05 

### Service Launch

Structured mobilisation ensures everything is in place — staffing, equipment and supervision — before your contract begins.

06 

### Ongoing Monitoring

Regular inspections, supervisor visits and monthly reporting keep performance transparent and continuously improving.

Quality Monitoring 

## Data-Led Quality Monitoring

Cleaning performance in your school is tracked, measured and reported — so you always know standards are being met.

### Digital Inspection Audits

Regular scored inspections using digital audit tools — results recorded, tracked and shared with school management.

### Time & Attendance Monitoring

Shift start times and attendance are monitored to ensure staff arrive on time and service is delivered as contracted.

### Supervisor Oversight

Named supervisors with regular site visit schedules provide direct accountability and a clear point of contact.

### Monthly Performance Reports

Transparent monthly reporting covering inspection scores, attendance compliance and any improvement actions taken.

Contract Governance 

## Contract Oversight for Schools & Trusts 

Each contract is supported by a named supervisor and contract manager responsible for performance, inspections and communication. For multi-academy trusts, we provide cross-site performance data to ensure consistency across your estate.

Named supervisor and contract manager for every site 

Regular inspection visits with scored results
