The service, locally
Offices we clean in Custom House E16
Newham holds 14,895 local business units and 133,000 jobs, 89% of those businesses employing fewer than ten people — which is exactly why our Custom House rounds are built from several small and mid-sized contracts a night rather than one large one. The dominant employers here are retail and wholesale (15.8% of jobs), public administration (11.8% of jobs) and education (11% of jobs), so the specification leans on retail and wholesale realities: meeting rooms reset daily, washrooms serviced properly and desks left alone but sanitised.
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Site barriers, gatehouse sign-in and estate security patrols, with a van parked at the door and no lift booking to worry about. For your contract that means ULEZ is inside the monthly figure and there is no Congestion Charge here, London Borough of Newham permits and suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, and the cleaner arrives with everything needed rather than parking on your account. Landmark for the driver: Custom House station and Victoria Dock.
Getting in and out of Custom House: Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. New-build flats, 1960s estate maisonettes and terraced housing.
Local commercial profileLocal commercial stock: business park units and estate offices. Access out of hours: Site barriers, gatehouse sign-in and estate security patrols, with a van parked at the door and no lift booking to worry about.

Why Hello Services
What an office cleaning contract in Custom House actually gets you
Documented compliance your site manager will accept
Site-specific RAMS, COSHH files on site, PPE appropriate to the unit on Newham bookings, with 26% one-person households here, and induction records held against every cleaner working on the Custom House estate.
Welfare, canteen and hard floors at scale
Rotary scrubbing, spray-burnishing and extraction machinery come as standard rather than as a special visit on E16 jobs, with 26% owner-occupation locally, because business park floors are square metres, not rooms.
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 on this side of Newham — and 26% owner-occupation locally, with 49% social-rented stock nearby. It is the evidence trail your landlord, auditor or head office asks for across E16.
The published specification
Every task, every zone with the frequency in writing
| Zone | Task | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Workstations | Desks, touch points and screens | Every visit |
| Workstations | Bins emptied, relined and segregated | Every visit |
| Workstations | Under-desk vacuuming and cable trays | Weekly |
| Reception and client areas | Reception desk, seating and entrance glass | Every visit |
| Reception and client areas | Meeting rooms reset | Every visit |
| Washrooms | Full washroom service and restock | Every visit |
The wording behind each line — what counts as done, and the tasks the contract deliberately excludes — is published in full on the London office cleaning specification. It is identical on every Custom House E16 contract.

| Consumables managed end to end | Included | included |
| Compliance pack: RAMS, COSHH, insurance | Included | included |
| Day porter or housekeeper hours | £16 | per hour |
- Access and out-of-hours entry
- Site barriers, gatehouse sign-in and estate security patrols, with a van parked at the door and no lift booking to worry about. We build that into the schedule rather than charging for the time it takes.
- Parking, permits and charging zones
- Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Newham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Permits, suspensions and ULEZ are inside your monthly figure — never added later.
- Building type
- Business park units and campus buildings with generous vehicle access, single-tenant floors, trade counters and warehouse-attached offices with staff welfare areas. That decides the specification weighting, not a generic price per square foot.
- Who signs it off
- Facilities and HSE managers who expect RAMS, COSHH data sheets and a documented audit trail before anyone is on site. We quote in the format your finance team needs, with a purchase-order reference where required.
- Local business density
- 14,895 local business units in Newham, 89% 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 Custom House estate units and welfare areas
Welfare areas, canteens and locker rooms
Heavy use, boots and food waste in one room. Surfaces are food-safe sanitised, floors machine-cleaned, and bins segregated and taken to the estate's stores rather than left by the door.
Office-to-warehouse thresholds
Dust and debris travel across the threshold every time the door opens. That transition strip, the door furniture and the first stretch of office floor get an extra pass on every visit.
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.
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.

About the area
Custom House in context
Regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the local landmark, and Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is how most of the workforce arrives — which is also why our teams reach Custom House without a van where a contract does not need one.
Commercially, Custom House is best described as custom house business park and estates: Business park units and campus buildings with generous vehicle access, single-tenant floors, trade counters and warehouse-attached offices with staff welfare areas.
The numbers behind that: Newham holds 14,895 local business units and 133,000 jobs, with retail and wholesale (15.8% of jobs), public administration (11.8% of jobs) and education (11% of jobs) leading the employment mix and 89% of businesses employing fewer than ten people. Against 351,036 residents that is a workday ratio of 0.38, which is what decides how heavily the washrooms, kitchens and traffic routes here are used.
Getting in and out is the other half of the job. Site barriers, gatehouse sign-in and estate security patrols, with a van parked at the door and no lift booking to worry about. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. London Borough of Newham permits are arranged and paid for by us, and ULEZ is inside the monthly figure and there is no Congestion Charge here.
