Commercial Office Cleaners Across the UK

Most UK contract cleaning is priced from an hourly rate per cleaner, typically around £18 to £30 an hour outside London and more in central London. A small office cleaned for two hours once a week usually works out at roughly £150 to £250 a month, while a five-day service of two hours a day is often £800 to £1,200 a month. Deep cleans are usually priced per job, from around £200 for a small office.

Most offices with staff in every day benefit from daily or at least three visits a week for kitchens, washrooms and bins, because these are where hygiene problems build up fastest. Smaller or part-time offices often manage well with one or two visits a week. Periodic tasks such as carpet extraction, high-level dusting and appliance deep cleans are usually done monthly or quarterly.

The exact list is set out in the cleaning specification so you can add or remove tasks.

Many office cleaning contracts run on a rolling monthly basis with a notice period, often 30 days, while larger sites sometimes agree a fixed 12-month term. Always check the notice period and what happens to the price if your hours change before you sign.

Changing provider is usually straightforward: agree a start date that matches your current notice period and hand over keys and alarm codes securely. If your existing cleaners are mainly assigned to your site, the TUPE regulations may mean they transfer to the new provider, so it is worth checking that early.
