Communal area and stairwell cleaning in Oxfordshire
Communal cleaning looks after the parts of a building no single resident owns: lobbies, stairwells, landings, lifts and bin stores. Give the number of floors, entrances and lifts, and our team quotes a visit schedule.
About communal area cleaning
Managing agents, freeholders, residents' companies and landlords of shared houses book this service. It also suits mixed-use buildings with offices or flats above shops, where nobody is clearly responsible for the stairs.
Visits follow a regular pattern, often weekly or fortnightly depending on how many homes use the space. The cleaner vacuums and mops lobbies, corridors and landings, and sweeps and washes the stairs. Handrails, door handles and light switches are wiped. Entrance door glass and internal glazing are cleaned, as are lift interiors and door tracks. Bin stores are swept out and loose litter removed.
We need to know how the cleaner gets in, such as a fob or trades button, but keep codes out of the enquiry form. Say whether bin stores, car parks or gardens should be included, as each needs its own scope. Send any requirements from the property manager and explain how residents should be told about visits.

Communal area cleaning: common questions
How often should a block of flats have its stairs cleaned?
It depends on how many homes use them, and weekly or fortnightly is common. Send the number of flats and any complaints from residents, and we can suggest a frequency.
Can bulky items left in a hallway be taken away?
Rubbish clearance and waste removal are not assumed. List what is there so it can be reviewed separately from the routine clean.
What determines the cost of communal cleaning?
The number of floors, floor finishes, lifts and glazed doors set the time on site, and visit frequency sets the overall cost.
How will the cleaner get into the building?
Usually by fob or trades button, so say which in your enquiry. Arrange any codes directly with us, not through the form.
