London commercial cleaning · Central London
Commercial cleaning across Islington, from EC1, EC1V and N1 outwards. Georgian squares and canal basins around Angel, giving way to dense estates and Arsenal crowds further north, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office clean, per hour per operative | £22 | Min. 2 hrs | The London rate carries the London Living Wage, travel inside Zones 1–4 and the operative's DBS check and uniform. |
| Small office contract (up to 10 desks), per visit | £55 | 2 hrs | Desks, kitchen, washrooms and floors on a fixed scope, three to five times a week. |
| Retail unit daily clean, per visit | £65 | 2–3 hrs | Shop floor, fitting rooms, glass and back-of-house before opening — priced for a pre-7am start. |
| Out-of-hours premium | +15% | — | Nights, Sundays and bank holidays carry the enhanced rate we pay the operative, shown as its own line. |
| Periodic deep clean, per sq ft | £0.35 | Overnight | Hard-floor machine work, carpet extraction and high-level dusting, usually quarterly on a London office. |
Commercial work is quoted plus VAT at 20%. Contracts run rolling monthly with 30 days' notice — we do not use 12-month tie-ins. Consumables can be supplied at cost plus 10% or you can buy your own.
Working in Islington
The stock in Islington is four-storey georgian terraces with basements, victorian conversions and large council estates around finsbury park, and the mix changes street by street — Angel (N1), Archway (N19) and Barnsbury (N1) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: wall-to-wall cpzs, red routes on holloway road and city road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all. Locally that means seven-day cpz, no off-street parking on the georgian streets and steep basement access and gyratory red routes, steep hill streets and estate blocks with booked lifts. Part of Islington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Most managed buildings in Islington require a RAMS pack, proof of £10m public liability and DBS-checked operatives before a cleaning contractor is issued fobs. We supply all three at mobilisation rather than in week three.
A spa and pleasure-garden suburb that filled with Georgian and early Victorian terraces, then gentrified hard from the 1970s. That history is why Islington property behaves the way it does today.

Office clean, per hour per operative starts at £22 in Islington, and the ladder runs up to £0.35 for the largest job on the table above. Frequency, headcount and hours drive the price, not floor area alone. Out-of-hours access and single-visit weeks cost more per hour than a five-day contract. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: EC1, EC1V, N1, N19, N4, N5 and N7. On the ground that includes Angel, Archway, Barnsbury, Canonbury, Finsbury Park and Highbury.
Mobilisation typically takes 7–10 working days from signed scope; urgent cover can start within 48 hours. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Wall-to-wall CPZs, red routes on Holloway Road and City Road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Islington and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Four-storey Georgian terraces with basements, Victorian conversions and large council estates around Finsbury Park is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
£10m public liability, employer's liability, DBS-checked operatives and a full RAMS and COSHH pack — the standard London managing agents ask for before issuing access. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Islington tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Islington postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Specialist decontamination, sharps or clinical waste, External window cleaning above ground floor and Consumables unless you add them to the contract. If something on that list turns up in Islington, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Incredible service. They provided an excellent cleaning at our flat in New Malden. The house looks sparkling and cant wait to move in. Thanks to Josh.
Professional after tenancy cleaning and was approved by foxtons in new malden. I really appreciate their hard work.
Very good value for money. Booked the cleaning services and two people spent 4 hours cleaning my recently purchased flat, and the result was impressive and very reasonable priced to be in London. Highly recommended.
