Our FAQs may answer any questions you may have, but if you need further information about anything, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Are you fully insured?
We are fully insured with cover of up to ÂŁ5,000,000 for Public Liability and ÂŁ5,000,000 for Employers Liability.
Are your staff properly vetted?
Before offering employment we follow a strict vetting procedure within CityWide Cleaners to ensure the staff member is reliable and suitable for the role.
Will we have the same cleaner every time?
Yes, as far as is practical. We aim to provide the same staff members on a client’s contract as this increases security for our clients and creates a healthy and trusting relationship between staff and clients. This also enables the staff member to gain knowledge of the site in order to provide the best service possible. Our staff members must give 4 week’s notice for holiday requests. Once the request has been approved, we notify the client, a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the holiday start date, of any relevant changes including information on the staff member who will be covering.
Are your staff trained?
Our Staff are given a full induction and training upon recruitment to ensure they are competent in performing their duties. This induction includes Health and Safety training. Before any contract is signed, a full risk assessment of the site is taken place. This is then relayed to the staff members to ensure all Health and Safety guidelines are followed.
Do you supply everything required?
Yes. We provide all the equipment, materials and supplies required to conduct the duties agreed within the proposal. We also supply consumables including toilet paper and hand towels. More details on this can be found on our Consumables page. Some clients have requested Eco-Friendly products, this is also something we can cater for. We have only listed examples of the most common items, however we supply a wide range of products and can add to this if additional products are required by the client.
What are your hourly rates?
We have a competitive hourly rate and will always work with the client to provide the best service for them. Our services are priced in accordance to the tasks required by the client. The final calculation will be accumulated taking into consideration all the variables that will affect the job such as equipment, material and time required to carry it out. We would provide a free quotation sending out one of our fully trained agents.
Can you unlock/lock and alarm a building?
Yes, we offer this service to all clients to minimise disruption to their staff members, as it enables us to clean the premises outside of working hours.
Can we contact you outside of office hours in case of emergencies?
Yes, we will provide you with the contact details you will need to help with any emergencies that may arise.
Are we issued a cleaning contract?
