Overview
Commercial cleaning in Custom House E16, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Custom House, commercial cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £22. With 50% of Custom House's 3,330 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E16 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How commercial cleaning works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map 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 Custom House customers book us
What follows is specific to Custom House: its walls, its access and the paperwork Newham agents ask for.
Custom House 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 Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Fixed prices

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!

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a commercial cleaning quote.
3,330 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Custom House. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (26% owned, 24% privately rented) means a E16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Custom House is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line — which is why a E16 quote is not a Newham average.
On access, construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts — one reason one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness. Fitters travelling in use Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
