Cleaning for the busiest areas of your block
Lift & Stairwell Cleaning in London
We deliver scheduled cleaning of the lifts, stairwells and landings that carry the most footfall in residential blocks across London. Vetted operatives attend on a fixed rota, keeping these high-use circulation areas clean, safe and presentable for managing agents, freeholders and RMCs.

What our lift & stairwell cleaning covers
Every programme is planned around the block, its lifts and stair cores and how often each space needs attention.
- ✧Lift Cars & Interiors. Lift floors mopped, walls, mirrors and stainless steel wiped and polished, and ceilings and vents kept clear of dust, keeping the most-used space in the block consistently presentable.
- ✧Lift Doors, Tracks & Call Points. Lift doors, thresholds and door tracks cleaned of grit and debris, with call buttons and control panels wiped, supporting smooth operation and reducing wear at each landing.
- ✧Stairwells & Steps. Stair treads, risers and half-landings vacuumed or mopped, edges and corners kept clear and spillages addressed, keeping stair cores clean and safe underfoot.
- ✧Handrails & Balustrades. Handrails, balustrades and stair glazing wiped down and, where handled frequently, cleaned as touchpoints to help reduce the build-up of dirt and germs.
- ✧Landings & Circulation Routes. Landings, lobbies and corridor sections connecting the stairs and lifts cleaned, with cobwebs removed and floors kept clear, so the whole circulation route stays consistent.
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 stair core and lift is different, so we plan each cleaning programme around the block's circulation areas, their footfall and the standards your residents expect.
01. Site Survey & Schedule
We start with a site survey of the lifts, stairwells and landings to be covered. From this we agree the scope, the cleaning frequency and a fixed rota that suits the block and its residents.
02. Mobilisation
We assign vetted operatives to your block and confirm access, key holding and any out-of-hours requirements. Site-specific RAMS are produced where required, so everything is in place before the first visit.
03. Scheduled Cleaning
Our operatives attend on the agreed rota and clean each lift, stairwell and landing to a consistent standard. Familiar, vetted staff cover the block visit after visit, so quality stays the same across every clean.
04. Inspections & Reporting
We carry out regular inspections to keep standards consistent and address issues promptly. Completion records and reporting are available to managing agents and freeholders, giving clear visibility across every block.
