Professional practices such as law firms, accountancy firms, architects and agencies need cleaning that keeps client areas presentable, works around long and irregular hours, and respects confidential paperwork. In London that usually means a written specification, out-of-hours visits and vetted cleaners who are the same people each time. This guide explains what to ask for and how DNA Cleaning Solutions approaches it. For the service itself, see office cleaning in London.
Professional practices cleaning at a glance
Professional practices cleaning is regular commercial cleaning for offices where clients visit and confidential work is done: solicitors, accountants, consultancies, architects, design and marketing agencies. Reception, meeting rooms and washrooms need to look right every morning, while desks, files and screens must be left exactly as they were. This guide is for practice managers and office managers in London.
- When should cleaning happen?
- Usually before staff arrive or after they leave. We schedule visits around your working hours, including late finishes.
- Will cleaners touch our files?
- No. We agree in writing which areas are cleaned and what is left alone, such as desks with papers on them.
- Who are the cleaners?
- Our own trained staff. Every cleaner is DBS checked and passes 5-year referenced background checks.
Areas clients see first
Clients judge a practice in the first minute. The specification should give priority to:
- Reception: floors, seating, the front desk and glass doors, checked every visit.
- Meeting rooms: tables, chairs, screens and whiteboards cleaned, rubbish removed and the room reset.
- Washrooms: cleaned and restocked every visit, because they are where standards slip first.
- Kitchens and break areas: worktops, sinks, appliances and floors.
Confidentiality and security
Practices hold sensitive client information, so who enters the building matters as much as how well it is cleaned.
- Every DNA cleaner is DBS checked and passes 5-year referenced background checks.
- The same team cleans your office wherever possible, so you know who is on site.
- The written specification sets out which rooms and surfaces are in scope and which are not, such as desks with documents left out.
- Confidential waste stays with your shredding or secure-disposal provider. We empty general waste and recycling only.
Choosing a schedule
Most practices choose daily or several-times-a-week cleaning for client areas and washrooms, with periodic carpet and upholstery cleaning for meeting rooms and reception seating. A one-off deep clean is useful before moving into new offices or after a refurbishment.
