Commercial cleaning in London
We provide commercial and office cleaning across London as a standalone contract or within wider facilities management. London commercial cleaning averaged £20.50–£26.80 an hour in April 2026, and most providers price premises above 5,000 sq ft at £0.10–£0.30 per square foot per clean (SME Brief; Benchmark Cleaning, 2026).
Cleaning is the most visible service in any building and the one where cheap quotes cause the most trouble. A rate far below the London average is usually funded by fewer hours on site than the specification needs.
We price against a written specification — areas, frequencies and standards — so you can compare our bid line by line with anyone else's.
