United Facilities Cleaning & Maintenance FAQs

We hope that you will find the answers to your questions below. We are always happy to talk to you on the phone to discuss your cleaning needs and answer any of your questions.

Commercial cleaning is a broad term used to describe any type of cleaning that is carried out by a professional company on behalf of individual businesses or corporations. It can include cleaning a wide range of commercial properties, such as stores, warehouses, and offices, as well as government buildings, fleet, and more.

Outsourcing your cleaning has several advantages, ranging from time and cost savings to reducing risk.

By outsourcing your commercial cleaning, you can benefit in the following ways:

  • The responsibility to deliver a safe and hygienic property is being managed by your chosen contractor, leaving you free to focus on your core business.
  • Reduced time and cost spent on recruitment activities.
  • Working with an experienced contractor, you will have access to a wealth of professional expertise, knowledge and experience.
  • The assurance of a provider that holds industry affiliations and works to industry best practice, with cleaning teams that are trained to industry standards.
  • Excellent value for money as a result of the cleaning contractor’s longstanding relationships with suppliers and buying power of cleaning consumables and materials.
  • A wide range of services that you may not have the time, budget, equipment, training or internal knowledge to support in-house.
  • Expertise in cutting-edge cleaning technologies, techniques, equipment, working practice and innovation.
