Office Cleaning Services and Checklist in the City of London
One office cleaning contract covers daily office cleaning, out-of-hours office cleaning and the specialist work, so you deal with one supervisor. This is the office cleaning checklist most City contracts include; yours is written for your office.

Why City Firms Choose Our Office Cleaners
Most office cleaning contracts fail on the same things: missed visits, no proof of work and nobody to call. This is how our commercial cleaning team removes each one.
Proof of every clean
Cleaners check in on site through our monitoring software and photograph the finished work, so you never have to take a clean on trust.
Paperwork your building accepts
Site-specific RAMS, COSHH assessments and insurance certificates are ready for your building manager before the first clean.
One named supervisor
One person inspects your office, reports back to you and answers the phone when something needs changing.
Cleaning that fits your day
Early mornings, evenings or weekends, so the office is ready before your first meeting and nobody works around a vacuum.
Office cleaning prices fixed in writing
Office cleaning prices in the City of London are £19 to £35 per hour. The cost depends on the size of your office, how often it is cleaned and the building’s access rules, and you get a written quote after a free site survey.
Vetted people, safe products
Every cleaner is DBS checked and trained. Products are eco-friendly, non-toxic and safe around staff and electronics.
Every clean logged, timed and photographed
We run our City contracts on cleaning management software, so the office manager and the supervisor see the same record of each visit.

City of London Office Cleaning by District
The Square Mile packs very different buildings into a small area: glass towers, listed banking halls, serviced floors and small suites above shops. We plan each office cleaning contract around the building and the street it is on, with office cleaners near Liverpool Street, Bank, Moorgate, Cannon Street and Farringdon stations. Our commercial cleaning company covers EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4 under one contract cleaning agreement.
EC2
Office cleaning Liverpool Street and Broadgate
Offices around Liverpool Street station and Broadgate are busy from early morning, with investment firms, property offices and business centres sharing large managed buildings. We clean before the morning rush or after the evening one, and keep receptions and lift lobbies presentable through the heaviest footfall in the City.
EC2
Office cleaning Bishopsgate
Bishopsgate runs through the City’s tower cluster, home to financial firms, co-working floors and corporate headquarters. Cleaning here means working with building management: booked access, goods lifts and security passes. Our cleaners follow your building’s procedures on every visit.
EC2
Office cleaning Moorgate and London Wall
Moorgate and London Wall mix law firms, technology companies and corporate offices, many on multi-tenant floors. We set the schedule around how each floor is used, with daily cleaning for busy teams and lighter schedules for smaller suites.
EC2
Office cleaning Bank and Old Broad Street
Around Bank, Threadneedle Street and Old Broad Street, corporate offices and trading firms often occupy older buildings with stone floors, wood panelling and period fittings. These surfaces need the right products and methods, and we specify them at the site survey.
EC3
Office cleaning Aldgate and Houndsditch
Aldgate and Houndsditch sit on the eastern edge of the City, with high-rise corporate buildings and multinational offices. We provide daily and weekly cleaning here, with out-of-hours visits for offices that run long days.
EC3
Office cleaning Leadenhall Street and Fenchurch Street
This is the City’s insurance district. Client-facing meeting rooms and receptions matter most to the firms based here, so they are checked on every visit.
EC3/4
Office cleaning Cannon Street, Monument and St Paul’s
From Cannon Street and Monument across to St Paul’s and Cheapside, we clean executive offices and client-facing workplaces, with early-morning cleaning so rooms are ready before the first meeting.
EC4
Office cleaning Fleet Street, Temple and Blackfriars
Fleet Street, Temple and Blackfriars form the western side of the City, home to barristers’ chambers, law firms and professional offices. We clean meeting rooms, receptions and shared floors before the working day starts or after it ends.
EC3
Office cleaning Tower Hill, Minories and Eastcheap
Around Tower Hill, Minories and Eastcheap, on the south-east edge of the City, we clean corporate offices and serviced floors, with daily, weekly and out-of-hours cleaning.
EC1
Office cleaning Farringdon, Clerkenwell and Barbican
Farringdon, Clerkenwell and the Barbican sit on the northern edge of the City, with design studios, technology firms and professional offices in converted warehouses and modern blocks. We provide daily, weekly and out-of-hours office cleaning across EC1.
