The service, locally
Office cleaning across City of London Central London
The borough holds 25,555 local business units employing 614,000 people, with finance and insurance (32.4%), professional and legal services (27.7%) and technology and information (14%) leading the mix, and 75.1% of businesses employing fewer than ten people. That is why our City of London rounds are built from several small and mid-sized contracts a night: the travel is shared, so your rate is not carrying it alone.
Locally the stock is grade a towers and refurbished multi-let floors, glass-partitioned meeting suites, client-facing reception areas, high-spec washrooms and staffed hospitality space. Security passes and a permit-to-work, goods lift booked with building management, contractor induction before the first shift and a logged sign-in and sign-out on every visit. Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. City of London Corporation permits and suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, and every price on this page already includes travel, parking, products, machines, consumables and cover.

Why Hello Services
What an office cleaning contract in City of London actually gets you
Built for multi-tenant buildings
Our Aldgate teams already hold passes and inductions for buildings like yours: permit-to-work where it applies, goods lifts booked with building management around Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), with 37% owner-occupation locally — and 98% of homes here being flats, and a logged sign-in and sign-out that the estate team can audit.
Clear-desk and confidentiality protocols
Papers are never moved, read or stacked. Cleaners are briefed on clear-desk policy, work with security present where required around Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), with 4,914 households on this patch, and sign confidentiality terms as part of their contract with us.
A published specification, not a promise
Every task in your contract is written down with the frequency next to it on this side of City of London — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with 4,914 households on this patch, and the same matrix is what the supervisor scores at each audit. If a line is not on the matrix, you are not paying for it — and if it is, it happens on every Aldgate visit in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 51% one-person households here.
Cover is guaranteed, not hoped for
When your regular cleaner is ill or on holiday, a briefed relief cleaner attends on the same schedule with the same specification for Aldgate (EC3) addresses, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented. You are never phoned to be told tonight's visit is not happening in Aldgate.
Issues answered in 4 working hours
One named account manager, a direct number and 020 3633 4555 behind it in Aldgate. Raise something at 09:00 and you have an answer and a corrective action the same working day — not a ticket number for Aldgate (EC3) addresses, with this being City of London Corporation territory.
Scored audits every 4 weeks
A supervisor walks the site against the matrix, scores each zone, photographs anything below standard and sends you the report with what was done about it across EC3 — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented. It is the evidence trail your landlord, auditor or head office asks for on the streets near The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe.

- Access and out-of-hours entry
- Security passes and a permit-to-work, goods lift booked with building management, contractor induction before the first shift and a logged sign-in and sign-out on every visit. We build that into the schedule rather than charging for the time it takes.
- Parking, permits and charging zones
- Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Permits, suspensions and ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are inside your monthly figure — never added later.
- Building type
- Grade A towers and refurbished multi-let floors, glass-partitioned meeting suites, client-facing reception areas, high-spec washrooms and staffed hospitality space. That decides the specification weighting, not a generic price per square foot.
- Who signs it off
- Managing agents and facilities teams buying for the whole building, plus tenant office managers buying for their own demised floor. We quote in the format your finance team needs, with a purchase-order reference where required.
- Local business density
- 25,555 local business units in City of London, 75.1% of them micro businesses with fewer than ten staff — so our teams are already working within a few streets of you most evenings.
- Contract terms
- 30-day rolling notice, no auto-renewal and no exit fee. Rates are held for twelve months from the start date.
This building stock
Where a contract earns its keep in City of London offices
Glass partitions and meeting-room fronts
Full-height glazing in a corporate floor shows every handprint under downlights. Partition fronts, door pulls and frames are de-smeared with a two-cloth method, not sprayed and smeared.
Reception hospitality and client suites
Cups, glassware, water stations and coffee rings in a client suite are a reputational issue rather than a hygiene one. The first zone cleaned each visit is the one a visitor sees first.
Kitchen sink traps, fridge seals and the coffee machine
The smell in an office kitchen almost always comes from the plughole, the fridge seal or the drip tray. All three are on the schedule rather than waiting for someone to complain.
Carpet traffic lanes and entrance matting
Soil arrives on shoes and stops in the first six metres. Matting is lifted and vacuumed underneath, and traffic lanes are rotated into the periodic extraction programme before they go visibly grey.
Under-desk floors and cable trays
The area nobody vacuums because chairs are in the way. Chairs get moved on the weekly pass, cable trays and floor boxes dusted, and chair castors cleaned so they stop marking the floor.
Washroom touch points, not just the pans
Cubicle locks, door plates, dispenser buttons, taps and the back of the seat are what people notice and what spreads illness. They get a dedicated colour-coded cloth and an EN 1276 sanitiser on every visit.

About the borough
City of London in context
The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers. Roman Londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the Blitz, now layered with towers around Bishopsgate.
City of London holds 25,555 local business units employing 614,000 people, with 75.1% of them employing fewer than ten staff — which is why our borough rounds are built from several small and mid-sized contracts a night rather than one anchor building.
Grade A towers and refurbished multi-let floors, glass-partitioned meeting suites, client-facing reception areas, high-spec washrooms and staffed hospitality space. Confidentiality and clear-desk protocols, measurable audit scores, washroom and hospitality standards that survive a client visit, and cover arranged the moment someone is off.
Access sets the schedule. Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. City of London Corporation permits and suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, and any cost sits inside the quoted monthly figure.

Office cleaning reviews from Greater London customers
Really communicative in organising access and the flat looked brilliant. The very old kitchen came up looking almost as good as new.
Sadar came to do the cleaning of all appliances in my house and he did an extremely good job! There were a lot of items and in 4 hours everything was spotless!
The cleaners arrived on time and did a very good job. They worked very hard. Unfortunately, they damaged a blind in the bedroom and left without telling me. Fortunately my son was able to repair the blind. If they had told me about the blind I would have given them a 10!
