Although this service focuses on workplaces, we support a wide range of clients in and around Dulwich:

Our Step-by-Step Office Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or our online form with details of your office size, layout and requirements. We ask a few practical questions: number of rooms, washrooms, type of flooring, your preferred cleaning days and times. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and outline what is included in the service.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For regular office cleaning, we normally carry out a short survey. This can be a virtual walkthrough (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Dulwich at a time that suits you. The survey lets us confirm the condition of the premises, identify any access issues, note specific cleaning priorities, and agree secure arrangements for keys or alarm codes.

3. Preparation and First Clean

Once you are happy to proceed, we schedule your first clean. We assign a trained, regular team who will learn your site and routines. We bring all necessary cleaning products and equipment, unless you request us to use your own. At the first visit, we work methodically through the agreed checklist, adjusting where needed so the routine matches your expectations. Ongoing, we review standards and make changes as your office use evolves.

Transparent and Fair Pricing

We price office cleaning in Dulwich mainly by time required and frequency of visits. The key factors are:

• Size of the office and number of rooms
• Number of toilets and kitchens
• Flooring types (carpet vs. hard floors)
• Current condition and required standard
• How often you need cleaning (daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly)

You receive a clear breakdown showing the hourly rate, estimated hours per visit and total per week or month. There are no hidden charges: any extra tasks, such as carpet cleaning or deep sanitising, are discussed and agreed in advance.

Why Professional Office Cleaning Beats DIY

Many offices start with staff tidying up themselves. Over time, standards slip and hygiene suffers. Using a professional cleaning team offers several advantages:

• Consistent, scheduled cleaning that does not depend on staff goodwill
• Use of appropriate, commercial-grade products and equipment
• Trained cleaners who understand cross-contamination and hygiene
• Reduced sickness absence through better sanitising of touchpoints
• A more professional appearance for clients and visitors
• Clear accountability – you tell us once, and we build it into the routine

This allows your staff to focus on their roles, while we focus on the cleaning.

Insurance, Safety and Professional Standards

Your premises and equipment are important assets, so we protect them properly. Dulwich Carpet Cleaners is:

• Fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover
• Covered by goods in transit insurance when transporting equipment and materials
• Staffed by trained cleaning teams who follow agreed procedures and risk assessments

We carry out basic vetting on our staff, provide clear uniform or ID where requested, and work to established cleaning and health & safety standards. Method statements and proof of insurance are available for business clients who require documentation for their records.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office as carefully as we treat our own premises. That means:

• Using suitable products on different surfaces to avoid damage
• Moving furniture gently and returning items to their places
• Taking care around computers, cables and sensitive equipment

We are also committed to a more sustainable approach where practical. This includes using concentrated products to reduce packaging, microfibre cloths for effective cleaning with less chemical, and avoiding harsh agents unless they are genuinely needed. Where you have specific environmental policies or preferred products, we are happy to work in line with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does office cleaning in Dulwich cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, how many washrooms and kitchens you have, and how often you need us. Smaller Dulwich offices often start from a modest weekly spend, while larger multi-floor premises require more time. We usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum visit length to ensure the job is done properly. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a written quote outlining time per visit, frequency and total monthly cost, so you can budget with confidence.

Can you provide same-day or urgent office cleaning?

Where we can, we do our best to accommodate urgent requests in Dulwich, such as last-minute visits before an important meeting, audit or viewing. Same-day availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job, but we will always be honest about what is realistic. For very short notice work, we may focus on key areas such as reception, meeting rooms, toilets and visible high-traffic zones. If we cannot help within your timescale, we will tell you promptly rather than over-promising.

Are you insured while working in our office?

Yes. We are fully insured to work in offices and commercial spaces across Dulwich. Our public liability policy covers accidental damage and incidents arising from our work, and our goods in transit insurance covers our equipment while it is being transported. In addition, our trained cleaning teams follow agreed safety procedures to reduce risk in the first place. Copies of our insurance certificates are available on request, and we are happy to complete any site-specific induction or sign-in procedures you require.

What exactly is included in a standard office clean?

A standard office visit focuses on day-to-day hygiene and appearance. This means dusting and wiping desks and surfaces, vacuuming or mopping floors, emptying bins, cleaning toilets and washrooms, and wiping down touchpoints like door handles, switches and handrails. We also clean kitchen worktops, sinks and cupboard fronts, and carry out light internal glass cleaning where reachable. Heavy-duty tasks such as deep kitchen degreasing, high-level work or full carpet shampooing are not included by default but can be added as separate services if required.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For ongoing, regular office cleaning in Dulwich, it is best to contact us one to two weeks before you would like to start. This allows time for a survey, agreeing the specification and scheduling a regular slot with a consistent team. One-off or short-notice cleans may be available sooner, depending on our workload and the size of your office. If you have a specific deadline – for example, before a landlord inspection or move-in date – let us know, and we will advise quickly on what we can realistically offer.
