Our Industrial Cleaning Process
We follow a structured, health-and-safety-led industrial cleaning process that is specifically designed for factories, warehouses, production lines and heavy-use commercial sites. Every project starts with a detailed on-site assessment and ends with documented quality checks, ensuring that machinery, floors, racking, plant rooms and high-level areas are cleaned thoroughly without disrupting your operations. By combining trained operatives, industry-compliant chemicals and method statements tailored to your environment, we help you maintain a safer, cleaner and more efficient industrial facility.
Site Survey & Industrial Assessment
We begin with a detailed industrial site survey, walking your production areas, warehouse aisles, loading bays and plant rooms to understand how your facility operates. During this visit we identify contamination hotspots, slip and trip risks, machinery that requires sensitive cleaning, chemical storage areas and any sector-specific standards you must meet (such as food, pharma or logistics). This allows us to design an industrial cleaning plan that supports both your housekeeping goals and your compliance obligations.
Health & Safety Planning
Before any industrial cleaning begins, we produce full risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) tailored to your site and work activities. This includes lockout/tagout procedures where needed, safe systems for working at height, chemical handling protocols, COSHH documentation and PPE requirements for our team. By planning carefully around your equipment, traffic routes and production schedules, we keep your staff, our operatives and your assets safe throughout the cleaning process.
Scheduled Industrial Cleaning Works
We then carry out the industrial cleaning at times that minimise disruption to your operation – whether that is overnight, during shutdowns, or in carefully controlled zones while you continue to run. Using scrubber-dryers, pressure washers, degreasers, vacuums and specialist tools, our trained teams tackle factory floors, loading docks, production areas, racking, mezzanines and welfare blocks, working to pre-agreed priorities so your site becomes progressively cleaner without impacting output more than necessary.
Quality Inspection & Documentation
Once the industrial cleaning is complete, a supervisor carries out a thorough quality inspection of all treated areas, checking that specifications have been met and safety considerations remain intact. We can provide photo evidence, sign-off sheets and ongoing cleaning schedules to support audits, insurance requirements and regulatory inspections. This end-to-end documentation gives you a clear record of the work completed and helps you demonstrate due diligence in maintaining a clean, safe industrial environment.
