Why Communal Cleaning in Chelsea Is Different (SW3 & SW10)
Chelsea blocks use high-end finishes (stone, brass), have tight access, and high footfall near King’s Road, Sloane Square, and Fulham Road. Residents expect premium standards and agents need proof-of-work. Your communal cleaning contractor must deliver finish-safe methods, photo sign-off, and supervisor audits.
Outcomes that matter (for managers):
Fewer resident complaints (esp. lifts + odour)
Safer floors, odour-controlled bin stores
Protected surfaces (no damage)
Visible accountability (checklists + photos)
Core Tasks (Daily/Weekly) for Chelsea Blocks
Stairwells/corridors: vacuum edges, mop, wipe skirtings/rails
Entrances/lobbies: mats lifted/cleaned, glass, brass/metal polish
Lifts: buttons, mirrors, door tracks, touch-point sanitising
Bin stores: floor scrub, odour control, spill response
External approach: litter pick, spot mop/brush
Pro tip: Use digital checklists with time-stamped photos. It calms complaints and proves quality to RMCs.
Deep & Periodic (What Most Sites Miss)
High-level dusting, wall wash, scuff removal
Machine scrub + reseal for stone/terrazzo
Quarterly bin store degrease
Seasonal jet wash of entrances/paths
Reactive cleans (vandalism, leaks)
The SLA That Stops Complaints
Scope/frequency: daily/weekly + quarterly deep (machine scrub, bin store degrease)
Standards: touch-point sanitising, slip risk control, before/after photos
Audits/reporting: supervisor cadence + digital checklists to managing agent/RMC
Response: spill/emergency within X hours; re-clean window within X hours
Compliance: RAMS, COSHH, DBS, insurance; key-holding protocols
How to Choose a Communal Cleaning Contractor (Non Negotiables)
DBS-checked, insured, uniformed
Proven with stone/brass (no damage)
