Define inclusions, frequency, access and exclusions before accepting a quotation. The methods and arrangements on this page are proposed for discussion and must match the agreed property requirements.
SCOPE OPTIONS
The details behind the service.
Entrances & lobbies
Agree accessible glass, doors, touchpoints and floor cleaning priorities.
Corridors & landings
Discuss floors, accessible skirting and localised marks without obstructing occupants.
Elevator interiors
Agree accessible rails and surfaces; exclude machinery, shafts and technical systems.
Stairways
Plan work around safe access and identify handrails and stair surfaces in scope.
Shared facilities
Specify any common washrooms and shared rooms rather than assuming coverage.
Waste areas
Agree ordinary waste arrangements and exclusions for hazardous or bulky materials.
Options are agreed for each quotation; they are not a blanket list of included tasks. Specialist and regulated work needs separate assessment.
METHOD MATTERS
A practical approach to the work.
01 / PRACTICAL METHOD
Focus on accessible shared touchpoints.
Use compatible products for rails, door handles and finishes. Keep cloths for different zones separate and protect occupants from the work area. Elevator cleaning must not interfere with operating equipment.
Follow product labels and relevant safety information. Never mix cleaning products. Where disinfection is specifically required, clean first and follow the stated contact time.
02 / PRACTICAL METHOD
Keep routes usable while cleaning.
Remove loose dirt before damp cleaning. Schedule manageable sections, use warning signs and appropriate access controls, and maintain emergency access. Check the floor condition before reopening the area.
Follow product labels and relevant safety information. Never mix cleaning products. Where disinfection is specifically required, clean first and follow the stated contact time.

What affects your quotation?
Size, condition, surface materials, access, task detail and frequency all influence the work. Clarify supplies and specialist tasks so quotations can be compared fairly.
Do you clean the whole building or just the common areas?
Tell us which areas you manage and want covered. A building-cleaning agreement may focus on the entrance, corridors, stairs, elevator interiors and other shared spaces. Tenant offices or apartments are not automatically included; they need their own agreed scope.
Can cleaning take place while people are using the building?
Occupancy and access need to be part of the plan. Tell us when the building is busiest and which routes must remain available. Wet-floor work should be arranged in manageable areas with appropriate warnings and access controls.
What about elevators and stairways?
Accessible elevator surfaces, handrails and stairs can be discussed as part of the work. Elevator machinery, shafts and technical systems are outside ordinary cleaning. Stairway work also needs a plan that preserves safe access for occupants.
Do you clean exterior windows and building facades?
Not as an automatic part of this service. Height, access and the type of surface can make exterior cleaning a specialist job. Describe what you need so the suitability and availability of that work can be checked before it is quoted.
Can a property manager request cleaning for several buildings?
Yes, send the number of properties, locations and the areas involved at each one. Different buildings may need different schedules, so include any priorities or access restrictions. The arrangement and availability must be confirmed for the sites.
How do we know what has been completed?
Agree the task list, completion checks and feedback contact before the service starts. Ask how missed tasks or property defects will be communicated. A clear written scope gives both sides a practical way to review the work.
