An office cleaner is in your building when you are not. In Bangor, start with three facts you can check: the company is insured, the staff are checked, and they follow a written safety routine for chemicals and equipment.

Then ask when they clean. Most offices want an evening or weekend visit so desks, meeting rooms, and the kitchen are ready before the next working day. If a cleaner can only come at lunchtime, that may not suit a busy workplace.

Ask for a price that matches the rooms

A fair quote is based on the number of rooms, the kitchen and washrooms, and how often you want the clean. At Saarathi Services a small office of 1-3 rooms starts from £70 a visit. A medium office of 4-6 rooms is £100, and a large office of 7-10 rooms is £150. Bigger buildings start from £225 after a free site visit.

A weekly contract should cost less per visit than a one-off. We take 10% off weekly cleaning and 5% off a clean every 2 weeks.

Put the agreement in writing

Before the first clean, confirm what is included, the day and time, and how you will be invoiced. A short weekly, fortnightly, or monthly contract is easier to budget than booking a different cleaner each time.

If you are comparing companies in Bangor, ask each one for the same four things: a site visit, a written price, proof of insurance, and a time that does not interrupt the office.
