What our hmo & shared accommodation cleaning covers
Every programme is planned around the property, its shared areas and how often each space needs attention.
- ✧Shared Kitchens. Worktops, hobs, sinks, splashbacks and shared appliance exteriors cleaned, with floors mopped and bins emptied, keeping communal cooking areas hygienic for every tenant.
- ✧Shared Bathrooms & WCs. Toilets, basins, baths, showers and tiling cleaned and sanitised, mirrors polished and floors washed, so shared washing facilities stay fresh and presentable.
- ✧Hallways, Stairs & Landings. Communal circulation routes vacuumed or mopped, handrails wiped and cobwebs removed, keeping the shared internal areas of the property clean and safe.
- ✧Communal Living Spaces. Shared lounges and communal rooms dusted, surfaces wiped, floors cleaned and bins emptied, maintaining comfortable shared spaces across the house.
- ✧Touchpoints & High-Use Surfaces. Door handles, light switches, intercoms and other frequently handled surfaces cleaned, helping reduce the spread of dirt and germs in busy shared accommodation.
- ✧Bin & Refuse Areas. Internal and external bin areas tidied, washed down and deodorised, helping keep waste under control and the property compliant for inspections.
Every clean is scheduled, tracked and quality-checked through our CleanManager platform, with photographic evidence and completion reporting available on request.
DBS-checked operatives. COSHH compliant. Method statements and RAMS provided where required.
How We Work
Every HMO is different, so we plan each cleaning programme around the shared areas, the number of tenants and the standards required to keep the property compliant.
01. Site Survey & Schedule
We start with a site survey of the shared kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and communal spaces to be covered. From this we agree the scope, the cleaning frequency and a fixed rota that suits the property and its tenants.
02. Mobilisation
We assign vetted operatives to your property and confirm access, key holding and any tenant or out-of-hours requirements. Site-specific RAMS are produced where required, so everything is in place before the first visit.
03. Scheduled Shared-Area Cleaning
Our operatives attend on the agreed rota and clean each shared kitchen, bathroom and communal area to a consistent standard. Familiar, vetted staff cover the property visit after visit, so quality stays the same across every clean.
04. Inspections & Reporting
We carry out regular inspections to keep standards consistent and support compliance. Completion records and reporting are available to landlords and managing agents, giving clear visibility of every shared area.
