Overview
Commercial cleaning in Old Street EC1V, explained
Commercial cleaning in Old Street EC1V is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Islington, most of them post-war. 4,949 households sit inside this EC1V patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground rather than a London average.
How it works
How commercial cleaning works in Old Street
Five steps, the same on every EC1V job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 4,949 households inside the EC1V neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Site survey
We walk the floor, measure it and write the scope against what is actually there.
Step 2
Fixed proposal
Hours, headcount, frequency and price per visit — no vague 'as required' lines.
Step 3
Mobilisation
Fobs, inductions, RAMS and the consumables order sorted before day one.
Step 4
Daily delivery
Digital sign-off per visit so building management can see what was done and when.
Step 5
Monthly review
A supervisor audit against the scope, with the score sent to you in writing.
Why choose us
Why Old Street customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC1V job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Old Street walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Islington kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in EC1V, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.
Insured and documented
£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.
Crew sized to the job
One to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
Fixed prices
Commercial cleaning prices in Old Street
Fixed prices for EC1V and the rest of Islington. 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.
| 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. |

Scope
What's included in Old Street
The same scope across EC1V, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Islington bookings: named, DBS-checked operatives — the same faces, not a rota of strangers, allowing for the 28% of EC1V homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- RAMS pack, COSHH file and £10m public liability at mobilisation, noted on the Old Street job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Old Street: colour-coded equipment and a written scope of work per area, timed against the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern)
- On EC1V jobs: supervisor site visits and a digital sign-off sheet per clean, agreed on the doorstep in Old Street before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Islington bookings: trade-waste bagging and transfer, evidenced for your duty-of-care file, arranged with London Borough of Islington where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Specialist decontamination, sharps or clinical waste, handled by London Borough of Islington or a specialist contractor instead
- External window cleaning above ground floor, which we refer on to the right trade in Old Street
- Consumables unless you add them to the contract, outside the fixed price on Old Street bookings
- Deep-clean machine work, which is quoted separately as periodic work, and we will say so before the EC1V visit rather than on the day

Sardar, he is very professional and all the work he and his assistant did for our house was totally amazing. He is based in London. He came all the way to Brighton. But it was great that we had him for the cleaning. Thank you Sardar!

Working in Old Street
Old Street EC1V at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Old Street — the numbers that actually change a commercial cleaning quote.
Old Street EC1V is post-war and social-housing-led: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,949 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 28% of Old Street is privately rented and 52% socially rented, a lot of EC1V work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Old Street substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Islington kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground is the mistake that costs a EC1V customer twice.
Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe — which is why a EC1V quote is not a Islington average.
Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. Nearest station is Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), and one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness.

Common questions
Commercial cleaning in Old Street EC1V — your questions.
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Old Street EC1V?
Office clean, per hour per operative starts at £22 in Old Street in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 19% owner-occupation locally — and 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Frequency, headcount and hours drive the price, not floor area alone on Islington bookings. Out-of-hours access and single-visit weeks cost more per hour than a five-day contract in Old Street.
Do you clean small offices as well as large sites in Old Street?
Yes — from a ten-desk office near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground at £55 a visit up to multi-floor contracts, the scope and the operative headcount scale to the unit, not the other way round on the Old Street rounds — and 2% of Old Street homes being houses, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
Can cleaning happen out of hours in Old Street EC1V?
Yes, with a +15% out-of-hours rate shown as its own line in Old Street. Many Islington managing agents prefer cleaning before 7am or after close on this side of Islington, with 19% owner-occupation locally — and 52% social-rented stock nearby, and we can supply the RAMS pack that a EC1V building needs before issuing fobs.
What does London Borough of Islington expect for trade waste from a commercial clean?
London Borough of Islington enforces the duty of care on the occupier around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) — and 4,949 households on this patch, with 19% owner-occupation locally, so our contracts bag and transfer trade waste with evidence you can keep on file for an inspection, rather than leaving it as an assumption.
What is not included in commercial cleaning in Old Street?
Specialist decontamination, sharps or clinical waste; External window cleaning above ground floor; Consumables unless you add them to the contract; Deep-clean machine work around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented — and Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away, which is quoted separately as periodic work. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Old Street EC1V price you agree is the price you pay in Old Street, with this being London Borough of Islington territory.
Who books commercial cleaning in Old Street EC1V — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 28% of Old Street privately rented and 19% owner-occupied, roughly half the EC1V diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Islington bookings — and 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
How quickly can you reach Old Street from your Islington round?
Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground is the marker we route to on Islington bookings, with 98% of homes here being flats — and 19% owner-occupation locally, and red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. A EC1V slot added to an existing Islington round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Old Street, with this being London Borough of Islington territory.
