A family-run company built around residential blocks

C&S Cleaning Services is a family-run communal block cleaning company based in Sutton, serving residential blocks across Surrey and South West London. We work directly with property managers, landlords and estate agents to keep shared areas clean, safe and presentable for residents and visitors.

Communal cleaning is our core work, not a sideline to domestic cleaning. A block needs a cleaner who turns up on the same day, works to the same specification each time, and tells the managing agent when something is wrong.

All our cleaners are DBS checked, COSHH trained and fully supervised. We carry full Public Liability Insurance and are members of the Federation of Master Cleaners.

Every Communal Block Clean Includes

The core tasks in a regular clean. Your block's written specification sets out which happen on every visit and which run on a rotation.

Staircase & Stairwell Cleaning

Full vacuuming, mopping and wiping of all stairs, landings and bannisters throughout the block. Stairs take the most foot traffic in any block and are cleaned on every visit.

Hallways & Entrance Lobbies

Entrance lobbies, ground floor hallways and all communal corridors vacuumed, mopped and wiped down. It is the first space residents and visitors walk into.

Bin Rooms & Rubbish Areas

Bin rooms, bin chutes and external waste areas swept, mopped and sanitised. Bin areas are where hygiene problems start in a block, so they get the same attention as the entrance.

Dusting & Surface Wiping

All communal surfaces, skirting boards, window sills, radiators and fixtures dusted and wiped down. We remove cobwebs, dust build-up and general grime from all accessible surfaces.

Internal Window Cleaning

All internal communal windows, glass panels and door panes cleaned to a streak-free finish. Usually on a rotation rather than every visit.

Sanitising High-Touch Points

Door handles, lift buttons, intercom panels, light switches and all high-contact surfaces sanitised on every visit.

Regular Maintenance Schedules

Every schedule runs on a fixed day, confirmed in advance, so you always know when the block is being cleaned.

Daily

For busy blocks and developments where the entrance has to look right every day. Monday to Friday as standard, weekends on request.

Weekly

Our most common schedule, and the right fit for most mid-size blocks. Communal areas stay consistently clean without the cost of daily visits.

Fortnightly

For smaller blocks and lower foot traffic. It is the lowest-cost regular schedule, and the one our two-block Epsom site runs on.

Not sure which schedule is right for your block? Get in touch and we'll advise you.

How the quote is built and how the contract runs

The questions property managers ask us before they ask for a price. Read them here rather than on a call.

What determines your quote

Six things, in roughly this order of impact:

  • Flights and landings, not just storey count. A block with two stair cores is two jobs
  • Floor coverings. Carpet needs a genuine vacuum on every visit; stone and tile are mopped. Carpeted blocks take longer
  • Communal facilities: bin stores, lifts, post areas, car parks and external entrance areas
  • Frequency, which is usually the largest single lever on the monthly figure
  • Access: key, fob or key safe, and whether cores can be done in one visit
  • Condition at the start. A neglected block may need one deep clean before a regular schedule makes sense

How the specification is agreed

We visit the block first, at no charge and with no obligation, and walk the communal areas with you. What comes back is a written specification: which areas are covered, which tasks happen on every visit, and which are periodic. Internal windows and high-level dusting usually sit on a rotation rather than weekly.

The quote is priced against that document. If you later want something added, it is quoted before it is done, not absorbed quietly or dropped quietly.

If your cleaner is away

Your block is assigned a cleaner who attends every visit wherever possible, so they learn the layout, the access arrangement and which items belong to residents. If they are unwell or on leave we send a cover cleaner, who works to the same written specification for your block rather than to a generic checklist.

We are family-run, so the person you raise an issue with is one of the people responsible for the work.

Checks, issues and billing

We inspect the blocks we clean ourselves rather than waiting for a complaint, and report anything outside the cleaning scope, such as failed lighting, damage or an obstructed escape route, to the managing agent directly.

Billing is monthly in arrears rather than per visit, by bank transfer. There is no long-term contract: start on a trial period and continue only if you want to.

Quoted separately

Deep carpet cleaning for communal areas and end of tenancy cleans for individual flats are separate services with their own quotes. An initial deep clean, where a block needs one, is also priced separately from the ongoing schedule. We will tell you honestly whether we think your block needs one.

What managing agents check before appointing us

Insurance, vetting, terms and reviews in one place.
