These are typical guide prices. Your actual price depends on the floor area, how many washrooms and kitchens there are, how often you want cleaning, the time of day and where the office is.

What affects the price

Floor area and layout, including number of floors and meeting rooms
Number of washrooms, kitchens and breakout areas
Frequency of visits and length of each visit
Time of day, with early, late and weekend work sometimes costing more
Floor types, as carpet and hard floors need different equipment
Whether consumables such as toilet roll and soap are supplied
Periodic tasks such as carpet extraction and high-level dusting

Hourly rate or fixed monthly price?

Most contractors work out the price from the hours needed, then quote a fixed monthly figure. A fixed monthly price is easier to budget for, but make sure it is tied to a written specification so you know which tasks are included on each visit.

How to get an accurate price

Send the approximate floor area, the number of staff, washrooms and kitchens, the floor types and how often you want cleaning. A floor plan or a few photos are usually enough for a fixed price.
